• Discuss project goals, priorities, and budget range
• Understand timeline expectations
• Determine overall fit and next steps

This ensures we’re aligned before moving forward.

On-site evaluation

• Review existing conditions, layout, and structure
• Discuss functionality, ergonomics, and lifestyle needs
• Capture measurements, photos, and scope details

This is where listening and expertise set the tone.

Intentional planning begins here

• Explore layout options, flow, and design direction
• Discuss material selections, finishes, and style preferences
• Align design decisions with budget and long-term value

This step differentiates IHR from “estimate-only” contractors.

• Develop initial design concepts
• Provide a detailed, realistic estimate
• Refine scope to prioritize what matters most

• Finalize layout, materials, and finishes
• Confirm project timeline and construction schedule
• Review and approve final scope and contract

• Construction planning and sequencing
• Permits, inspections, and coordination
• Material ordering and trade scheduling

• Dedicated project management
• Clean, organized job sites
• Consistent communication throughout the build
• Final walkthrough and completion

You’re ready when you have a general idea of your goals, a realistic budget range, and an understanding that remodeling is a process. You don’t need all the answers upfront — that’s where our design consultation and planning process comes in.

• What isn’t working in your space
• Your priorities (function, aesthetics, resale value)
• A general budget range
• Desired timeline
  Photos, inspiration images, or rough ideas are always helpful but not required.

No. Many of our clients come to us with ideas but no formal plans. We guide you through layout, design direction, and material selections as part of our process.

Budgets vary widely depending on scope, materials, and complexity. During our consultation, we help you understand realistic cost ranges and align the scope with your priorities so there are no surprises later.

A budget range allows us to design intelligently and recommend solutions that fit your goals. Without it, planning becomes inefficient and can lead to unnecessary redesigns or delays.

Initial consultations are typically complimentary. For larger or more complex projects, a design consultation or preconstruction phase may be required to develop accurate plans and pricing.

• Bathrooms: typically several weeks
• Kitchens: several weeks to a few months
• Basements & additions: multiple months

In many cases, yes — but it depends on the scope. We’ll walk through expectations early so you can plan accordingly, especially for kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovations.

Any changes are discussed clearly before work proceeds. We document scope adjustments, pricing, and timeline impacts so you remain fully informed.

Selections such as cabinetry, tile, flooring, fixtures, and paint are finalized during the design phase. We guide you step-by-step so decisions are made in the right order and on the right timeline.

Yes. We help you balance style, durability, and budget — and make sure selections work together cohesively.

IHR manages the full project — coordinating trades, scheduling work, and overseeing quality. You’ll always know who to contact and what stage your project is in.

We rely on clear planning, sequencing, and communication. While remodeling can involve unforeseen conditions, our goal is to minimize delays through experience and proactive management.

Yes. We take steps to protect floors, adjacent spaces, and existing finishes, and we maintain organized, clean job sites throughout the project.

Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work requires permits. IHR handles permitting and inspections as part of the project.

Older homes can reveal hidden conditions. If something unexpected arises, we discuss options, costs, and solutions before moving forward.

• Who manages the project day-to-day?
• How are timelines and budgets handled?
• How are changes communicated?
• What experience do you have with projects like mine?
• Are you licensed and insured?

We listen first, plan carefully, and execute with precision. Our structured process, realistic timelines, and design-aware approach allow homeowners to feel confident from start to finish.

Schedule a consultation. We’ll talk through your goals, walk the space, and outline a clear path forward — so you know exactly what to expect.

We’re happy to help.
