Ongoing projectcommunications is key to reducing stress. Here is an overview of how the Design-Build process with BayBuilders Residential and Commercial works for you.

Step 1 – Let’s Talk.

During this phase we’ll get acquainted to see if we are a fit for each other. Since you are reading this
document, that process is already underway. We’ll do a deep dive into your vision and make sure that we
“get it.” We’ll talk about your budget in relation to your vision, consider possible options and explain how
financing or payments to us work. We’ll talk about the schedule, your role in the project, and what you can
expect from us. We’ll be unfailingly honest — telling you what will be fun — and what won’t. And we’ll leave
you with a complete guidance kit full of useful information to help you understand not only who we are but
also how projects like yours work.

Step 2 - The Pre-construction Services Agreement

Prior to entering into a Construction Agreement together we have pre-construction processes for which there
will be fees. These fees are separate from the construction contract. The pre-construction process will be
handled with what is called a Pre-Construction Services Agreement or PSA. The PSA includes developing
the project scope together and/or with your other design professionals, specifications, selections and doing a
detailed budget that assures you a quality, completed project at an agreed upon price. The PSA will usually
cover some design services or consultations with designers, architects, engineers, etc., preconstruction
planning, project development, and sometimes some demolition and discovery work, if required to create a
guaranteed project price for you. The PSA does not oblige you to enter into a Construction Agreement with
us and you own the results of the Pre-Construction and Project Development work covered by the PSA.

Step 3 - Project Development

With all or most of the results of the PSA work in hand we will meet with you to talk through the project. We
will take all the time you want to be comfortable and confident. We’ll go over the scope of work, project plan,
progress payments, timelines, logistics and concerns. You will meet your personal project manager [Name]
and discuss how communications are best handled.

Step 4 - The Construction Agreement

We will now have all the information to provide a guaranteed price for your project, you will have signed off
on the design and production plan. You’ve met your project manager and know who will be doing what and
when. We will provide an Agreement for our mutual signatures. We will go over and explain every deal of
our straightforward Construction Agreement.

Step 5 - Project Management

During the building phase we will handle all the details of ordering materials, scheduling, oversite, and
coordination. Concurrently we will diligently keep you up to date on progress and issues.

Step 6 - In-Process Changes

No matter how carefully we plan your project together you will probably want to make some changes along
the way. We are prepared to cheerfully accommodate any changes you want to make. Our Agreement will
explain how costs and timing associated with your changes will be handled.

Step 7 – Project Completion

As during construction, at this completion phase we will meticulously inspect to ensure that craftsmanship
levels have been maintained throughout the project. We will do a final review meeting with you to answer
any operational questions regarding appliances, heating and cooling systems and any other operational
questions. We will do a final clean up to the highest standards possible both within the project and anything
on the property that we touched. We will set you up with a document for you to list anything you might run
across that might need some attention. And finally, you will benefit from our industry leading 1-year warranty
on our work.

Step 8 – Warranty

Rest assured that we will stand behind our work. We have a predetermined process that guarantees that our
project withstands the test of time. Additionally, we are always available for consultations and minor repairs
during the warranty period and beyond.
