Five stages. At each one, you decide something.
A construction project goes wrong when steps are skipped. Ours are written down, in the same order every time, so you always know where the project stands, what you are deciding and what you will receive.
- 1
First conversation
Consultation · Site assessment
You tell us what you want to build, when, and a budget range you are comfortable sharing. We visit, measure and photograph so we can say what is feasible and what the permits are likely to require.
- You decide
- Whether the project is worth scoping.
- You receive
- A site visit, and a clear list of what we still need from you.
- 2
Scope
Scope and estimate
We write down exactly what will be built and price it line by line. You can ask for a fixed price or an open-book cost-plus contract.
- You decide
- Whether the scope and the price structure suit you.
- You receive
- A written scope and an estimate that follows it.

Planning
Contract and schedule · Permits and ordering
The contract sets the payments, the change process and who handles which permit. Applications go in and long-lead materials are ordered.
- You decide
- The contract terms, the payment schedule and your start window.
- You receive
- A signed contract, submitted permit applications and a schedule.
- 4
Work
Construction · Inspections
Work proceeds in sequence. Required inspections are booked at the right stages and the results are shared with you.
- You decide
- Any change, before it is built.
- You receive
- Progress updates at the interval in your contract, and inspection results as they arrive.
- 5
Closeout
Walkthrough and closeout
We walk the finished work together, complete anything outstanding and hand over your documents.
- You decide
- Whether the finished work matches the scope, and what is still outstanding.
- You receive
- The walkthrough, completed outstanding items and your project documents.
How we communicate
Everything in writing
Scope, price, schedule and changes are written down and shared with you.
One point of contact
You know who to call, and that person knows your project.
No surprises on the invoice
A change is priced and approved before it is built.
A tidy, safe site
Work areas are protected, cleaned and left safe at the end of each day.
From plan to finished room
Drag the handle: a plan on the left, the same room built on the right. Real project case studies will use this slider with before and after photographs.
Illustration only. Not a NorthPeak project.
Stage one is a conversation.
Tell us what you are planning and we will take it from there.
