Initial Visit

Riggs Team members meet with you at your project location to discuss what "pains" have surfaced that need solutions. Riggs will want to know your idea for fixing your living situation. In order to get to the heart of the potential project, know your needs, wants and desires. Your lifestyle is a key to a good solution: Riggs will want this kind of information, too. During this meeting, the Team members are documenting both your input and the major elements of areas to be effected through photographs and measurements.

While You Wait

A preliminary design is developed with your "need, want, desire" list from the initial visit. Based on the preliminary design, a Selections Spreadsheet is developed. This sheet is a working document and tool used throughout the entire project life for listing the finish line of products. In addition, an estimate is produced based on cost ranges stemming from the most current costs of labor and materials. Subcontractors are asked to look at the preliminary design and to estimate their portion, which is then incorporated into the preliminary estimate. A Design Agreement is written with a detailed scope of work for the potential project. A Riggs Team member will then contact you to set up a meeting in the Riggs Office for a presentation of all our work.

Preliminary Design and Design Agreement Presentation

Welcome to Riggs! You are now presented with a glimpse of your dream... at this meeting, we will offer you one of the many potential solutions for your project. All of the work we did while you waited is put on the table for your review. All questions can be fielded in this meeting as the review of the estimate, drawings, and selections help you to grasp what you might desire to develop. If you are satisfied with what has been produced and have chosen to proceed to the next level of development, then the Riggs Team member assisting you will walk you carefully through the Design Agreement contract and have you sign for further progress on your project. Congratulations!
