The AG Standard — Awesome Additions

4.1 — The Five Phases

From first walkthrough to written warranty.

Led by the Account Success Manager

Discovery

Before we ever talk price, we listen. The ASM visits the home, walks the existing footprint, and prepares a Feasibility Report. If we're not the right fit, we say so before you've spent a dollar.

Output Feasibility Report · scope conversation · qualified-fit decision

ASM coordinates · Planning Team executes

Architectural Planning

Once you sign, we don't break ground. We plan. Architectural drawings, MEPs, structural and energy reports — and every permit the city requires, in hand before demolition. For additions, the most permit-intensive residential work, this phase matters most.

Output drawings · MEPs · structural & energy reports · permits · signed floor plan

Led by the Account Success Manager

Selections & Final Design

You choose finishes. We produce 3D renders so you see the addition before it's built, not after. Then we lock the final budget, schedule, and scope. No moving targets once construction starts.

Construction

A dedicated PM runs the build — 8:30 AM daily team meetings, on-site inspections against written quality standards, daily updates to you, weekly written updates from the ASM. The schedule is monitored 24/7 by Jade, our integration layer. You live in the home throughout; we protect the main-house pathways and keep a working kitchen and bath accessible at all times.

Output completed addition to spec · daily & weekly updates · photo documentation

Closeout & Warranty

We don't disappear when the dust settles. Final walkthrough together, signed punchlist, lien releases from every subcontractor, and a written workmanship warranty. We stay reachable for the long-term relationship.

4.2 — Operating Commitments

The rules that govern every phase.

We plan twice before we build once.Two full planning phases before construction. Most builders have zero.
Every project has a dedicated team — not a rotating cast.An ASM owns the relationship from first contact through warranty; a PM owns construction. You always know who to call.
We inspect our own work, daily.Every task is checked against a written quality standard before it's marked complete. Subcontractors fix failures before they're paid.
The schedule is monitored 24/7 by Jade.Our integration layer connects project management, photo documentation, and communication — flagging slippage before it affects your move-in date.
Every dollar is tracked the same way.Every payment, material order, and subcontractor bill is logged against the project budget.
We pull every permit. Always.There is no "we'll skip permits to save you money" conversation here. For additions, it's non-negotiable.
The job site is your home.You live in the home through the build. When the crew leaves each day, the home is left tidy and the rest of it stays livable.

4.3 — In Writing

Seven things every project includes. On paper.

A written contract with a defined scope before any work begins.
A fixed schedule with milestone dates you can hold us to.
Weekly written progress updates from the ASM, plus daily updates from the PM during construction.
Photo documentation of every phase.
Two named points of contact — either reachable for any question.
A written workmanship warranty issued at closeout.
Lien releases from every subcontractor, delivered before final payment.

You're not hiring a contractor. You're hiring a system.
