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
- Initial Consultation: We conduct a walk-through of your space and provide a detailed proposal through our project management platform.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Scheduling: We create an estimated work schedule and keep you informed of any updates or potential delays.

Execution
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Real-Time Project Tracking: Access our client platform anytime to view daily photos, updates, and monitor progress of your renovation project.
- 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
- Final Cleaning and Inspection: A professional cleaning service ensures your space is move-in ready before the final walkthrough.
- Punch List Completion: After you move in, you’ll have two weeks to compile a list of adjustments, which we’ll address promptly.
- 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.
