Our Process

Image
1. Your Choices

You may be interested in buying a lot to build a new home from the ground up. Or you may be looking at buying an existing home that requires extensive renovation such as lifting it, adding another floor, or turning it into an up-down, front-back, or side-to-side duplex to maximize its value.

Whether you're building a house for your family to live in or building it as a revenue property, Solaris has the experience and understanding to help you with the entire process. We offer a free consultation to give you advice on what to look for, whether it's an empty lot or an existing home.

2. Preliminary Consultation

When you contact us through email or phone, we will arrange a meeting with you to do a complimentary consultation. The consultation could include meeting you at a property you are considering purchasing and giving you advice on the feasibility and challenges building a new house on an empty lot, or the options for making major renovations to an existing house on a lot. 

We can also review your preliminary designs and give you an honest assessment of the building specifications, time frames, price options, feasibility, and challenges. You can expect an honest assessment of your proposals with no pressure.

3. Timeline & Price

When you are ready, we will provide a detailed budget with cost estimations for various stages of completion. Communication is central at this stage. We strive to understand what your key decision criteria are regarding design, timing, pricing and any other goals you want to discuss.

4. Signing the Contract

Once your architect and interior designers have the final drawings, then we can review those and put together a proposal for you to consider.

When you decide on Solaris Developments as your builder, we will sign an agreement with you, which includes the scope of work, construction schedule, and budget. This is our commitment to build your new home. 

Once the agreement is signed, we will work with your architect and interior designers to obtain all the necessary permits and approvals so the building can get started.

5. Building Your Home

Throughout the building process, our Site Supervisor and Project Manager will be in contact with you regularly. There will be a master schedule provided and updated as the project proceeds. Included in the schedule are project milestones and deadlines where you will need to finalize decisions on things like windows, doors, roof colour, plumbing fixtures, flooring, layout, and colours. 

Our team will communicate with you in person both onsite and offsite, by phone, or by email, depending on your preferences and the project needs. We will provide you with detailed invoices on a bi-weekly or monthly basis throughout the project. 

As the building nears completion, more frequent meetings will occur as we work through final design and finishing details. We expect and welcome changes as the project progresses, as long as it all fits within your budget and timeline. We value and respect your input, and will always work to communicate honestly about how the project is proceeding.

6. Your Home is Ready

Solaris will arrange the final completion and certification of all aspects of the project and ensure that all deficiencies are completed to your satisfaction. We will also provide you with a complete set of documents, drawings, and owner's manuals from the entire project. We always appreciate your feedback, and only consider our work done when you are fully satisfied with the result.
