Our Process
Building a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
Our proven process replaces uncertainty with clarity, giving you a clear view of decisions, timelines, and costs from start to finish.
At Boehm Construction, we follow a transparent, structured approach so you always know where your project stands, what comes next, and how each step impacts your budget and schedule.
One platform.
One source of truth.
To support this level of transparency, we use Buildertrend as our project management platform.
Buildertrend allows you to:
Track progress and upcoming tasks
Review schedules and budget updates
Communicate directly with our team
Access documents, selections, and approvals in one place
Everything lives in a single, organized system, so nothing is lost, overlooked, or unclear.
How We Build, Together
A clear, guided process designed to keep you informed, confident, and in control from the first conversation to the final handover.
-
Sales Call
One of our team members will schedule a time to meet with you, either on the property or online, depending on what makes the most sense. This is where we walk through the scope of the project and talk about your goals, ideas, and priorities. From there, the team member will prepare an initial estimate and share any early insights or considerations related to the build.
-
Initial Estimate
At Böehm Construction, we like to start things off right with a free, rough but itemized estimate. It gives you a clear sense of what your project might cost based on current market pricing and years of hands-on construction experience.
-
Pre-Construction Contract
Once we have established a rough budget range and gotten to know each other a bit, the next step is an interim or pre-construction agreement. This stage includes a deposit and confirms that Böehm Construction will begin the planning and preparation for your project.
-
Planning Phase
This is when you are assigned a Project Manager and things really get moving. We begin coordinating the key pieces of the project, including surveys, design work, specifications, selections, and detailed pricing.
You will also receive access to our construction management software, Buildertrend. It keeps everything in one place and lets you track your project as it progresses, including budgets, schedules, progress photos, and more.
-
Client Approval
Now that the design is just the way you like it, we will send the plans out for sub-trade pricing. This allows us to provide a much clearer picture of the construction costs.
It is also a great time to review your finishing selections and ensure everything aligns with your budget before the dust starts to fly.
-
Construction Contract
We are ready to build. At this stage, we enter into a CCDC contract, the standard agreement used in the construction industry, and collect the final deposit.
In most cases, this is also when we submit for your building permit, schedule our subcontractors, and begin ordering materials so everything is in place for the start of construction.
-
The Build
Depending on the scope of your project, this is when the real building begins: excavation, foundations, framing, electrical, and everything that follows.
Your Project Manager’s main focus is keeping the two most important things on track: timeline and budget. Every two weeks, your PM will meet with you to review the latest invoice, share the associated receipts, and keep you informed of any schedule or project cost updates.
-
Completion
We are at the finish line! Your Project Manager will walk you through your new, beautiful space, issue you your home warranty and hand you the keys. Time to put your feet up and enjoy the view. If there are any issues, we are only a phone call away!
Confidence Built In
Our process has been shaped and refined over more than 20 years of building custom homes. It is designed to remove uncertainty, keep communication clear, and ensure you always understand your project's status.
