At Divano Homes, we provide you with construction services required to build or renovate your home. Homeowner involvement is the essential component to a successful project. We establish and maintain an open line of communication with our clients throughout the entire process so that all parties contribute to decisions that are made.
We look forward to meeting you in person to explain our construction process and answer any questions you may have.
If you already have conceptualized or working drawings, we will be happy to review them and offer suggestions for improvement. Divano helps you through this process by assisting with architect or home designer choice as well as attending meetings with you and the architect to ensure that your needs and wants are met every step of the way. At this stage, Homeowners will want to engage an Interior Designer.
Additional site visits are completed to measure and photograph current structures or neighbouring landmarks to determine which features we may want to take advantage of, or intentionally obstruct, when designing.
Divano works with the Homeowner, Architect and Interior Designer to develop a construction specification list which identifies and lists all the products, features and materials that will be included in the house. The budget that coincides with the specification list is then created and presented to you. Once approved, we move forward to Phase 4.
Based on permit approval timing from the local municipal authority, a projected start date is agreed upon. All future construction considerations and details are resolved in this phase. Interior elevations and drawings are finalized. Once a building permit is obtained we can begin construction. (HURRAY!)
During construction, the material selection and details are refined. We liaise with our Homeowners, Architects and the Interior Designers on an on-going basis to ensure satisfaction with the design direction. We provide our clients with monthly updates and schedule multiple walk-through meetings.
This is why we provide two pre-scheduled appointments during the first year to address any deficiencies that may arise. A two-year builders warranty is provided along with a five-year building envelope and ten-year structural warranty through Traveler’s Home Warranty to ensure that your investment is fully protected.
