Our Process
From the first conversation through the final walkthrough, one experienced team guides the design, selections and construction of your project.
WHY DESIGN BUILD
One team from first idea to final build.
Traditional construction can mean hiring a designer, gathering contractor bids and coordinating multiple companies before construction even begins.
PR Design Build brings design and construction together under one roof. Your designer, estimator, project manager and construction team work from the same plan, with the same goals and the same understanding of your project.
That means fewer handoffs, clearer accountability and decisions made with both design and construction in mind from the beginning.
ONE POINT OF CONTACT
You don’t have to manage separate designers, contractors and trades. We coordinate the moving pieces.
DESIGN WITH THE BUDGET IN MIND
Design and estimating happen together, helping us make informed decisions before construction begins.
FEWER SURPRISES
Materials, scope, specialty trades and project requirements are worked through during planning—not left until the job is underway.

You deserve to know what happens next.
01
Initial Consultation
We start by listening. We’ll talk about what you want to change, how you want your home to work, your style, priorities, timeline and target investment. We’ll also discuss the feasibility of the project and whether PR Design Build is the right fit.
02
Design-Build Contract
Once we’ve established that the project and investment are aligned, we’ll enter into a Design-Build Agreement and begin developing your project in detail.
03
Design & Scope
This is where ideas become a buildable plan. We develop the design, define the scope of work, coordinate with specialty trades and work through the details that affect both the finished space and the construction behind it.
04
Selections + Pricing
With guidance from our design team, you’ll make material, finish and fixture selections for your project. As the design takes shape, we refine pricing so you’re making decisions with a clear understanding of how they affect the overall project.
05
Construction Agreement + Planning
Before construction begins, you’ll receive a detailed construction agreement outlining the scope of work, project investment, payment schedule and anticipated timing. Our team handles permits, orders materials and coordinates trade partners.
06
Construction + Communication
Then we build. Your dedicated project manager coordinates the work and keeps you informed throughout construction. Through Buildertrend, you can follow progress, view project updates and photos, and stay connected to your project from wherever you are.
07
Completion + Warranty
We’ll complete a final walkthrough together, address remaining details and review warranty information. Our relationship doesn’t end when construction does—we stand behind the work we’ve built.
SHOWROOM + SELECTIONS
See it. Feel it. Choose with confidence.
Our showroom brings together the materials, finishes and selections that shape your home. With expert guidance, you’ll make choices that reflect your style and work beautifully together.
COMMUNICATION YOU CAN COUNT ON
Your project shouldn’t feel like a mystery.
Clear communication is part of the build. We use Buildertrend to keep you connected from anywhere. You’ll see daily updates, photos, schedules and documents – all in one place.
Common Questions
Before we get started.
How long does the process take?
Every project is different, and scope, selections, permitting and material availability all affect timing. A significant amount of planning happens before construction begins, so if you have a target completion date, it’s best to start the conversation early.
How early should I contact PR Design Build?
As early as possible. Design, selections, pricing, permitting, material ordering and scheduling all happen before construction begins. If you have a target completion date, we’ll help you work backward from it.
Do I need plans before contacting you?
No. Because we’re a design-build firm, we can begin with your goals, ideas and needs and develop the design as part of our process.
When will I know what my project will cost?
We’ll discuss a target investment during the initial consultation. As the design, scope and selections are developed, we’ll refine pricing before moving into the construction agreement.
Who will I communicate with during my project?
You’ll work with our team throughout design and planning. During construction, your dedicated project manager becomes your primary point of contact and keeps you informed throughout the build.
How do I keep track of what’s happening during construction?
We use Buildertrend to keep project communication and information organized and accessible, including project updates and progress photos.
Do you help with material and finish selections?
Yes. Selections are part of our design-build process. Our design team helps guide decisions so materials and finishes work together and fit the overall project.
