Our Process
Our Design, Contract and Building Process
Building your home with RIMAK HOMES
Introduction and Project Review
In this first meeting, we will review the design and features of your plan or ours, as well as discuss the building site location and requirements. We will also walk you through our process, ensuring you have a clear understanding of each step. Additionally, we will go over your budget in relation to current pricing trends, helping to determine whether we can provide firm primary pricing based on the plan, your primary features and our preferred features.
Our Primary Pricing Package
During this phase, we will take the plan you chose and add it to our construction estimating software. We will spend the necessary time to develop accurate pricing by adding the primary features requested during our introduction meeting along with our preferred features. We also add temporary site allowances and develop detailed specifications so that it is very transparent for you to review and know exactly what is included in our price. This pricing package will be presented to you, and we will schedule an on-site review meeting at your land. At this meeting, we will verify the approximate home placement, slope, elevations, and site-related allowances. Additionally, we will review the pricing and specifications previously presented, as well as address any questions you may have. Our goal is that, following this meeting, you will feel confident choosing RIMAK to build your home.
Virtual Building Phase
During this phase, we implement all the previously requested modifications to the plan and specifications. We build the design of your home in our 3D CAD software so that we can review the interior and exterior details of your home in 3D, giving you a realistic look at your home design before we break ground. Your input is essential as we fine-tune the plans and specifications to meet your expectations and personalized preferences.
Contract Development
This phase is dedicated to the development of all the final details and documents required to complete an accurate and transparent construction contract ready for you and/or your lender. Not only are we making all the final modifications you requested in our previous meeting, but we are creating construction plans, consulting with engineers, and requesting final pricing from our vendors so we can verify that most of the main allowance amounts are adequate for the project. All of this is in preparation for our pre-contract review meeting. In this meeting, we will conduct a final review of all updated plans, specifications, and pricing for accuracy. Additionally, we will discuss a list of expected contract documents and set a date and time for the contract execution.
Building Your Home
The construction phase of your home begins in our design center with one of our team members to help you with the interior and exterior selections. At the same time, we will be preparing the final construction documents and engineering needed for permitting. Your project manager will meet with you on your land to confirm the location and angle of your home as well as finalize any remaining site details. Throughout the entire construction process, you will be updated weekly on progress and status of your home. We will also schedule multiple meetings with you to review your home on site during important phases of the construction process. From site preparation, foundation, and framing through mechanicals, interior and exterior finishes, every step is quality-assured by your Project Manager.
