Embarking on a remodeling journey can be both exciting and daunting. At AGC Home Remodeling, we’ve streamlined our Design and Build process to ensure it’s as stress-free and efficient as possible. Here’s how we work with you every step of the way to bring your dream home to life:
Onsite Consultation: Turning Ideas into Plans
The process begins with a scheduled onsite visit. We coordinate a convenient time through a calendar invite to ensure our meeting fits your schedule.
During this visit, our remodeling expert will walk through your home, listening to your ideas and discussing possibilities. We take detailed photographs of your space to document the existing conditions, ensuring we have the information necessary to provide an accurate estimate.
Additionally, we request your deed restrictions to identify any building limitations, such as setbacks, building lines, or other constraints that could impact the project. This initial step is critical to laying a solid foundation for your remodel.
At this stage, we can provide a rough estimate for the project based on high-level details. However, to deliver an accurate bid, we require detailed designs.
Architecture: Balancing Vision and Budget
Remodeling projects often involve significant changes, making precise cost estimates challenging at the outset. To address this, we employ a collaborative Design and Build approach.
We partner with trusted Interior Designers, Building Designers, Architects, and Engineers who are integral to nearly every project we undertake. Their expertise ensures designs are both functional and beautiful.
As designs evolve, we incorporate pricing checkpoints to keep the project within your budget. After the schematic design stage, we review the layout and provide an initial cost estimate. During the Design Documentation phase, we refine the estimate to align as closely as possible with the final costs.
Allowances for material selections are built into the estimate, tailored to your preferences and style. Once construction documents are complete, we provide a final cost estimate and enter into an e-sign contract to move forward.
Permitting: Navigating the Approval Process
Navigating permitting requirements can be overwhelming, but we’ve got it covered.
We prepare and submit all necessary documentation to the permitting district, handling signatures, verifications, and any additional requirements for approval. The permitting process typically takes 4-6 weeks.
In the meantime, you can check out our detailed blog on permitting for more insights!
Material Selection: Bringing Your Vision to Life
While permits are being processed, we focus on selecting the perfect materials for your project. Using BuilderTrend, we track schedules, documentation, and the selection process in one place for transparency and ease.
We collaborate with you (or your interior designer, if applicable) to source materials that align with your vision. Thanks to our relationships with local suppliers, we can offer significant discounts and deals to maximize your budget.

Home Remodeling and Construction: Building with Precision and Care
Once permits are approved and materials selected, it’s time to bring the vision to life.
Our construction team includes experienced Superintendents, Project Managers, Craftsmen, Electricians, Plumbers, Framers, and more. We coordinate all activities through BuilderTrend and maintain constant communication via your preferred channel—email, text, or even Discord.
We schedule and oversee all required inspections with the permitting district, ensuring compliance and quality. If unexpected issues arise during construction, we address them promptly and collaboratively with you to find the best resolution.
At the project’s completion, we ensure all permit inspections are passed and provide you with a certificate of occupancy. Your dream home is now a reality!
