OUR PROCESS

At Podium Construction, we believe every successful project starts with a clear vision and transparent communication. That’s why we’ve built a process that guides you from idea to completion with confidence and peace of mind.

1. Free Consultation

We start with a free consultation to learn about your vision and budget. Whether you bring Pinterest photos, a sketch on a napkin, or just a few stakes in the ground, this first step helps us understand your goals and the price range you’d like to be within.

2. Design & Planning

From there, we work with you to develop a plan set and, when needed, bring in our trusted engineering partners for structural requirements. We also handle all necessary permitting so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.

3. Budgeting: Cost Plus or Hard Bid

_{We provide two transparent budgeting options:}

_{Cost Plus: You pay the exact project cost plus contractor markup and sales tax. This eliminates risk padding and ensures you only pay for what the project truly costs.}
_{Hard Bid: You receive a firm price up front that won’t}
_{change unless unexpected conditions are uncovered}
_{in a remodel or you request changes.}

_{Unlike some contractors, we don’t pass missed details in bidding onto our clients. If we make a mistake, we own it.}

4. Construction & Communication

^{During construction, we keep you informed every step of the way. You’ll receive:}

Detailed emails with a Schedule of Values and payment schedule so you can plan ahead.
Regular progress updates via phone, email, or FaceTime for out-of-town clients.
Quick texts for simple questions and decisions.

_{We also integrate quality assurance measures, including independent inspections at key phases, to ensure your project meets both code requirements and manufacturer specifications.}

5. Project Completion & Warranty

When construction is finished, we hand over the keys and give you 1–2 weeks to live in your new space. This lets you identify any small items that may need attention. We then return to complete the punch list before closing out the project.

Finally, you’ll receive a warranty package that includes:

All manufacturer warranties
A 1-year mechanical warranty from Podium Construction

6. Our Commitment

Our goal is not just to deliver a durable, high-quality finished product, but also to make the journey enjoyable and stress-free. We pride ourselves on being a true teammate throughout the process—keeping your project on track, on budget, and handled with integrity.
