OUR PROCESS

The process starts with filling out our project survey on our website. This step allows us to learn more about your project and get all the necessary details prior to having a conference call or an onsite meeting with our Owner and President, Jeremy Nelson. We will contact you within 72 hours of receiving your survey to schedule this call or site visit.

After reviewing your project, Jeremy will meet you on site to walk and talk through all the details and get a general idea of the project site. This will allow us to determine the feasibility of your project and provide a preliminary scope of work and estimated budget range to help you in deciding to move forward with your project.

Once you have met with Jeremy and agreed to the preliminary budget and scope of work, we will enter into a feasibility and construction contract which includes paying a deposit ranging from $2,500 - $5,000 based on the size of project. This deposit covers the initial pre-construction time and expenses. Upon receipt of the deposit, the project is then sent to our pre-construction department.

Your Pre-Construction Project Manager will work with you to develop all project specifications and begin submitting requests for proposals (RFP’s) from our preferred network of vendors and subcontractors. With this information, we will build a professional Construction Budget to cover the entire scope of work to include vendor and subcontractor selections best suited for your project.

For bigger projects such as home remodels or new builds, meeting in person to present the final scope of work and Construction Budget is critical to ensure your questions are answered and you feel confident hiring Rainier Construction to complete your project. This meeting will review your final budget, subcontractor selections, and scheduling timelines as well as confirm your final product specifications and selections.

A commencement deposit will be collected upon the acceptance of the project. Commencement deposit amounts will vary based on the scope of work for each individual project but will be reviewed with you beforehand. Once deposits have been received, we will release your project to build.

Our team will work closely with you to review working hours, scheduling of subcontractors, and managing all aspects of your project while it’s being built. We will be checking in with you frequently and conducting progress meetings on site to review the progress and quality of work being performed. This is the best part of the process - seeing your project come to life!

Our admin team works behind the scenes to make sure your progress draw requests are sent out accurately and on time, ensuring that your questions are answered every step of the way. They will provide you with copies of all important documents and work to make sure your experience with Rainier Construction is nothing outside of exceptional.

As we work towards completion on your project, we will conduct a final walkthrough and punchlist of any finish details that need to be addressed. Your project will be professionally cleaned upon completion of punchlist items and our team will send your final invoice to close out the project.

Our closeout process provides you with all warranty information, specification brochures, and important documents necessary for your records. We will make sure all your questions are answered and follow up with a client satisfaction questionnaire to make sure we didn’t just meet your expectations, we exceeded them!
