A PROCESS DESIGNED TO DELIGHT
Each customer comes to Woodcliff Builders with plans and expectations, and we do our best to ensure the entire process is a journey that brings delight. Here’s how.
OUR
PROMISE
We believe that if more contractors were straightforward and transparent, there would be much less fear in beginning construction projects. To that end, we promise to work with you and communicate with you at each step so you know exactly what is being done and what it will cost.
PRECONSTRUCTION PHASE
GATHER IDEAS
It all begins with ideas! We can’t help you build your dream home unless you know what you want. This phase involves gathering all your concepts, inspirations, and requirements together so that we can begin estimating costs and project timelines.
DEVELOP BUDGET
Every homeowner wants a beautifully executed project for the right price. The problem is most homeowners don't know how much construction projects cost. We’ll work with you on every aspect of your budget so you know exactly what it costs. This way you can enjoy the entire process instead of fearing the outcome.
EXECUTE CONTRACT
To ensure that both the homeowners and the builders are covered from a legal standpoint during construction, we generate a detailed construction contract. We’ll review the contract together before all parties sign. This gives you protection during your remodel.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
SHARE CALENDAR
At this point we have your budget and a signed construction contract, but you still don’t know what is about to take place in your home. This is where we share our project and payment calendar with you. In this document, you will learn how to get your house ready for construction. It will have a week-by-week breakdown of the work we will perform, along with a payment schedule.
BEGIN PRODUCTION
Now let’s start building! If you ask any homeowner who’s done renovations, they’ll say it’s a massive inconvenience with your house in shambles and having to live out of a suitcase or in the middle of a construction war zone. With our Design to Build model and our project calendar, we’ve been able to streamline the entire process and get it finished in the most efficient way possible, so your discomfort is as short as possible.
WEEKLY REVIEW
To ensure that the project is seamless and nothing falls through the cracks (literally), your Project Manager will meet with you on a weekly basis. This is to review the project status and building milestones.
CLOSEOUT PHASE
FINAL WALKTHROUGH
We will close out your project with a final walkthrough. This is where you and the project manager will create a final punch list of items and actions that need to be done to finalize the project.
BEGIN CLEANUP
Once the punch list is completed, a professional construction clean up will take place to ensure that all construction debris is gotten rid of. When they’re done, there will be no trace left of the building process.
TAKE PHOTOS
Finally, what better way to end than with a complimentary professional photo session? We can schedule a pictorial with your family and your new home on a day and time of your choice.
"THE EXPERIENCE WE HAD WITH WOODCLIFF AND THEIR BUILDING PROCESS WAS TRULY A DREAM COME TRUE. THEY WERE PROACTIVE, COURTEOUS, AND ALWAYS KEPT US IN THE KNOW THROUGHOUT THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF OUR PROJECT."

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Your project is unique, as are you. And you likely have a few more specific questions about our process or your project. Here are answers to the more frequent questions we receive from homeowners just like you.
CAN WOODCLIFF PROVIDE PROJECT PLANS?
Yes! We offer Design and Planning services, where our in house architects and designers help build you a set of plans that fit within your project budget.
DOES MY PROJECT REQUIRE A PERMIT?
A general rule of thumb is if you are moving walls, plumbing, electrical or other structural alterations, you will need to have a permit.
WHO HANDLES PERMIT ACQUISITION?
During the Preconstruction phase of your project, we will help guide you through the permit process. We will obtain all the required permits for your project.
HOW DO I STAY UP TO DATE ON PROJECT PROGRESS?
Before we start construction, we provide you with a project and payment schedule that details our work to be performed week by week until the project is completed. You will review this every week with your project manager to make sure we are staying on schedule.
HOW LONG WILL MY PROJECT TAKE?
During the Preconstruction phase, we will build your project and payment schedule based on the entire scope of work. This gives you an estimated time frame of project duration.
