Good projects start with clarity
You bring the reason for the change. Together, we work through what it will take. The exact sequence depends on the size and complexity of your project.
Our process
Know what to expect at every step of your remodel.
Tell us about your project, goals, and budget.
Your project starts with a written contract outlining the scope, price, and payment schedule.
Maximum initial deposit for home-improvement projects.
Progress payments follow completed work and delivered materials.
Stay informed throughout construction and review the completed work with us.
R&B Master Construction / The building journey
From the first property review through final walkthrough, each stage has a purpose. Here is a typical sequence for a major renovation, addition or new home.
Set the scope before the first tool arrives.
Prepare and protect the work area.
Build the structure from a sound base.
Shape the rooms and protect the shell.
Coordinate the systems behind the walls.
Bring the approved materials together.
Review the work and complete the closeout.
Set the right expectations
Budget, access, material choices and living arrangements deserve a conversation before construction starts. Changes to an existing home can reveal conditions that were not visible at the beginning.
Ask how scope changes, selections and progress will be discussed. Clear responsibilities are as important as a clear design.
Before work begins
Use these points to make the brief, proposal and construction conversations more useful.
Identify included work, exclusions and who handles drawings, engineering, approvals and material ordering. Share any professionals already involved in your project.
Agree when fixtures and finishes need to be selected. Clarify how an unexpected condition or requested change will be documented, priced and approved before extra work proceeds.
Discuss working access, areas to protect, temporary service interruptions and living arrangements. At the closing walkthrough, review remaining items and the information you need to use the completed space.
Before you begin
Every home is different. Let’s talk through the details of yours.
For home-improvement projects, your initial deposit will not exceed 10% of the contract price or $1,000, whichever is less. Your written contract outlines the scope, price and payment schedule. After the deposit, progress payments are tied to completed work and delivered materials.
No. You can start with an idea, a problem in your existing home or a few reference images. If you already have plans, mention them so we can discuss the next step.
Yes, enquiries can be for an individual kitchen, bathroom, roof, exterior or building system as well as a larger renovation. The first conversation helps establish whether the scope is a good fit.
That depends on the extent of the work, access, dust control and whether essential services remain available. Discuss occupancy early, especially for kitchen, bathroom and whole-home projects.
The property, size of the work, structural changes and material choices all affect cost. Share any budget range you have in mind; a useful proposal needs a defined scope and a review of the conditions.
Requirements vary with the work and local jurisdiction. Layout changes, additions, building systems and new construction may need professional design and approvals. Responsibilities should be clarified before work begins.
Just a phone number or email is enough. A short description and the city are helpful, but everything else can be discussed when we connect.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Tell us where you are with your project, and we can discuss the next step.
