A step-by-step approach to renovations done right.

At Cober Contracting, we know that design, structural, or construction questions or issues can come up during your renovation project. We also know that hiring a contracting team can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve outlined the specifics of our process below – to keep you ‘in the know’ about each step of our partnership.

Our Process

Here's the process we follow to ensure exceptional communication and outstanding project delivery.

Step 1: Getting Started

Submit your request for a consultation online or call directly at 905.830.6416.

Step 2: First Meeting

We’ll get together to listen and learn about how your needs. We strongly encourage both partners to be present so we can get a clear picture of your ideas and concerns. We'll review your property, brainstorm possible solutions, and also discuss budget and timelines. This allows both of us to decide whether we’d like to work together and move to the next phase of the process.

Step 3: Getting Started

To avoid overwhelm, together we'll determine design work, permits and/or drawings that need to be done. Once we decide to work together, we’ll take detailed measurements, and photos, and provide an in depth exploration of different design options including a preliminary budget and timelines.

Step 4: Approving the Plan

Once you’re happy with the conceptual plans, we’ll prepare a construction budget estimate. If necessary, we can make adjustments to the design or scope of work as required to align with your budget. Some homeowners choose to use their own designers. If you would like to handle all the product, fixture, and finish selections, we will provide you with a pre-construction checklist of decisions and actions that we need from you to smoothly complete your project.

Step 5: Executing the Plan

During the actual construction phase, we will coordinate our team and any other tradesmen to execute the work. We’ll arrange for any necessary inspections at the appropriate times and will be in regular contact with you to keep you up to date with the project. Daryl is on site every day providing consistent communication.

Step 6: Final Touches

As construction finishes up, our focus on detail and quality workmanship will ensure that the project turns out to be exactly what you want. We understand how exciting it can be for homeowners to start a renovation and also how it can disrupt your routine. Keeping a clean and safe renovation is very important to us.

If you wish at the end of the project, we’ll arrange for cleaners to come in to ensure your space is ready for you to enjoy. After your project has been completed, we will follow up with you to ensure you are delighted with the work. If you have any concerns at all, we will be back at your front door to address those concerns, and make sure you’re completely satisfied.

Pricing Options

We offer two main pricing options, Lump Sum or Cost Plus. Learn more about each below.

Lump Sum

This method provides you with a fixed price for the complete scope of work, with allowances for various finishes. Sometimes clients ask to make changes during the construction phase. Any changes to the scope of work will be charged on a change order.

Cost Plus

This is the most popular method chosen by our clients and involves a set percentage rate that will be charged over and above the actual construction costs of the project.
