OUR PACKAGES

1. EXPLORATORY AGREEMENT
Embarking on a new build or renovation is like shopping for a car without knowing the price. Just as the salesperson needs details like (make, model, year, colour, package, etc.) to provide a meaningful estimate, you need real numbers and a strategic plan in order to determine if you’re ready to start the project. It’s a tricky proposition to enter into a contract before these items have been mapped out in detail.
That’s why we offer the Exploratory Agreement – a straightforward way to assess the financial aspects of your project and eliminate uncertainties before diving in fully.
We understand the common concerns you may have:
Uncertainty about the investment required: You want to know the approximate cost before you commit. Our Exploratory Agreement provides a high-level exploration to determine the estimated investment needed to build, renovate, and furnish your home or business.
Capital planning: Unsure of how much money you’ll need from the sale of your property? With our process, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of the financial resources required before making any commitments.
Fear of unexpected costs: No one wants to be stuck with a bill higher than anticipated. Our Exploratory agreement helps minimize surprises and ensures you’re well-informed about potential expenses, so you won’t feel pressured to absorb additional costs or abandon the project.
By initiating an Exploratory Agreement, you can take the first step toward a successful project. Once complete, there’s no pressure to move forward; you can take a pause and use the main deliverables to plan and save for your project down the road!
