Project Planning & Development

Defining the Project

More than three decades of experience have shaped our thoughtful, collaborative approach to every project. We begin by meeting with you and your archietct onsite to understand how you want to live, what matters most to you, and what you hope to accomplish. From early planning and budgeting through design development and construction, we bring our construction expertise to each decision and ensuring the architect’s vision is executed with the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. 

Schematic Budget

Using our in-house historical data, we develop a schematic budget to give you a clear understanding of your project’s overall cost.

Contract

Once we receive the final drawing set, we will make any necessary adjustments to the estimate and review the contract with you before signing. Should your requirements change after that point, the price of the project will change.

Project Development

Once you’ve committed to CM Ragusa, we will begin assembling your dedicated project team. Working directly with your architect, we’ll develop the most effective plan to complete your project efficiently and within budget.

One Vision. One Coordinated Process.

Clear, consistent communication is at the core of our process. We stay closely connected with you and your architect throughout the project, providing regular updates, coordinating decisions, and guiding you through selections so you always understand what’s happening and what comes next.

A Thoughtfully Managed Build

Permit Application

We will review the building plans and begin applying for the necessary permits. We will also familiarize the local building inspector with the project to ensure no surprises come up.

Schedule & Project Management

Once we have permits, we will create a schedule. We review this on a weekly basis and review with trade partners to ensure that the timelines are accurate. 

Billing

Invoicing occurs on a monthly basis and will include a breakdown of the work completed, including materials, subcontractor fees, rentals, and permits, to name a few. Our construction management software allows you to track budgets, change orders and payments all in one place.

A Relationship Beyond Construction

When your home is finished, we hope it brings you years of enjoyment. You’ll receive a customized homeowner’s manual detailing all systems and features, as well as a suggested maintenance schedule. Our team remains available should you need assistance at any time.
