HOW IT WORKS

At Alma|Bernan, we’ve developed a process that ensures every renovation is handled with professionalism and precision. Here’s how we turn your ideas into reality:

PREPARATION

  1. Initial Consultation: We conduct a walk-through of your space and provide a detailed proposal through our project management platform.
  2. Design Phase: Our team collaborates with you to create detailed design plans that align with your vision and budget. These plans will guide the permitting process and ensure compliance with all regulations.
  3. Permits and Approvals: Our team handles all permitting and DOB filings, as well as coop and board approval processes, ensuring a smooth start to your project.
  4. Material Selection: Timely decisions on finished materials help us maintain the project timeline and avoid delays. You will work with a dedicated team member to choose each and every material ahead of time before we start the construction.
  5. Scheduling: We create an estimated work schedule and keep you informed of any updates or potential delays.

Execution

  1. Project Kickoff: We begin the construction phase by organizing our team and ensuring a clear, actionable schedule. Regular updates are provided to keep you informed every step of the way.
  2. Material Management: We handle the procurement, delivery, and inspection of all materials and fixtures. This ensures everything aligns with the project’s design and timeline, minimizing any potential delays.
  3. Construction in Action: Watch your project take shape through well-coordinated stages like demolition, electrical and plumbing work, carpentry, painting, and the final finishing touches. Every aspect is meticulously managed to maintain quality and precision.
  4. Real-Time Project Tracking: Access our client platform anytime to view daily photos, updates, and monitor progress of your renovation project.
  5. Completion and Handover: We conduct a thorough final inspection to address any remaining punch list items before you move in. We will close all permits and officially hand over your renovated space.

Finishing Touches

  1. Final Cleaning and Inspection: A professional cleaning service ensures your space is move-in ready before the final walkthrough.
  2. Punch List Completion: After you move in, you’ll have two weeks to compile a list of adjustments, which we’ll address promptly.
  3. Warranty and Follow-Up: Enjoy a five-year warranty on plumbing and electrical work, and a one-year warranty on carpentry. We’ll also check in post-project to ensure your satisfaction.
