Once Baeumler receives your inquiry, we’ll evaluate the proposed project and advise you whether we think we’re a good fit. Regrettably, factors such as location, budget, scope of work and the volume of requests we receive means we can’t provide quotes on every proposal or accept every job that comes our way. However, we’re happy to provide some advice to help you find the team that’s right for you.

Baeumler Quality Construction arranges for another visit for a site measure used to create the permit drawings. At the time of the visit, a retainer is collected which covers pre-construction costs including drawings, permits and any other documents that must be drafted for city submission.
The meeting lasts approximately 3 hours and involves both our senior business manager and the lead architect. A receipt of retainer will be left with the client and signed by all parties involved.

If a visual representation of the design is requested by the client, a meeting is arranged to present the 3-D Sketch Ups that have been drafted for the client’s approval. The homeowner can notify the team of any changes they would like to make until they are satisfied with the design. We do not move to the next phase until the drawings and designs are approved by the client.

With the completed drawings, Baeumler Quality Construction creates a detailed scope of work that outlines the roadmap for the proposed project. As a project management based company, we work with local subcontractors to provide us with initial quotes for pricing. Once the scope of work is completed, our senior Business manager presents it to the client.

If the scope of work is approved by the client, Baeumler Quality Construction drafts a contract for both parties to sign, upon which a deposit will be collected and you’ll be introduced to your project manager, who will be leading the job and managing the team. Once permits have been approved by the city (submitted by the architect on the client’s behalf) we will then commence construction on the date stipulated in the contract.
