OUR PROCESS

Clear communication. Proven systems. Strong results.

Every successful project — big or small — follows a predictable, organized sequence. At Envy Construction, our process keeps your build moving smoothly, eliminates surprises, and ensures you always know what’s happening next.

Whether we’re building a new home, remodeling a space, or completing a commercial project, this is the framework we use to deliver consistent quality.

Over time we have curated an incredible team and we are proud of what we build. We have the resources to design and build your home from the dirt, up.

1. Consultation & Project Discovery

We start with a conversation — onsite or virtual — to understand your goals, budget, timeline, and vision.


During this phase, we:

  • Assess the property or existing structure

  • Identify challenges, constraints, or requirements

  • Establish project priorities and expectations

This stage sets the foundation for transparent planning and a successful build.

2. Design & Scope Development

If you already have architectural plans, we review them.


If not, we help you move through planning with trusted architects, engineers, and designers.

This phase includes:

  • Floor plans & structural details

  • Material selections & specifications

  • Value-engineering options

  • Scheduling considerations & feasibility

The goal: a clear, accurate scope of work before breaking ground.

3. Detailed Estimate & Contract Approval


You’ll receive a clear, itemized estimate outlining:

  • Exact scope of work

  • Material and labor breakdown

  • Allowances (if applicable)

  • Project timeline

  • Payment schedule

Once approved, we sign the contract and lock in your spot on the build schedule.

4. Pre-Construction Planning

Before we begin, we make sure everything is aligned:

  • Permits pulled

  • Materials ordered

  • Utilities coordinated

  • Subcontractor scheduling

  • Site logistics planned

You’ll know your exact start date and what to expect.

5. Site Preparation & Demo

For remodels, additions, or new builds, we handle all prep in-house:

  • Excavation

  • Grading

  • Demolition

We start clean, safe, and organized — because good foundations make good builds.

6. Structural Build & Exterior Shell

This stage forms the physical structure of your project:

Our framing and envelope standards exceed minimum code for better durability and long-term performance.

7. Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing

All core systems are installed and inspected:

  • Full electrical wiring, service panels, lighting

  • Plumbing rough-ins and venting

  • HVAC systems, heat pumps, ductwork

Once approved, the walls are ready to close.

8. Interior Buildout

This is where the project comes to life:

  • Drywall & plaster

  • Flooring installation

  • Tile & stone work

  • Trim, millwork, and interior doors

  • Cabinetry, countertops, & fixtures

  • Painting & interior finishes

We maintain cleanliness and protect your home throughout the entire process.

9. Exterior Completion

For full builds or exterior projects, we finish all outdoor details:

  • Decks & porches
