The Shack Built Process

Phase 1: Consultation

We meet with you for an on-site consultation where we review your goals, project budget, and vision. We assess how we can create your dream space, propose a few ideas, and then consider the next steps for your building process.

Phase 2: Design & Pre-Construction

We’ll analyze the details of your project, and determine the scope of work and timeline for your project. This step in the process usually takes 4-5 weeks for smaller projects, but can take up to 6 months or longer for larger projects. Because of the length of time this can take, we have our own separate agreement for this part of our process.

Phase 3: The Building Process

We acquire all necessary permits, materials, and professional tradespeople for your project. Your project manager will use a construction management software to maintain consistent communications between you and all tradespeople, and provide regular updates. The project manager is also responsible for maintaining the project schedule and budget. Once your project is finished, we’ll complete a final walkthrough with you and commence our 1-year warranty.

Project Types

Functional Makeover Projects

These projects go deeper than surface-level updates. Think: moving walls, reworking layouts, and transforming how your space actually functions. They involve architectural plans, structural engineering, and detailed 3D renderings to map out every detail before construction begins. You’ll also choose finishes, fixtures, cabinetry, and more—resulting in a complete transformation, inside and out.

Visual Update Projects

Visual updates refresh your space without changing its footprint. That might include new cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and other style upgrades—without moving plumbing, electrical, or layout. We’ll provide any necessary blueprints or 3D renderings for permits, but the focus is a clean, modern upgrade that breathes new life into the space you already have.
