BestBuild Process in Bergen, Passaic and NJ
Our Process
Initial Consultation (Phone Call or Email)
Our process begins with a conversation.
During the first call or email exchange, we’ll listen to your goals, ideas, and overall vision.
If you have photos, sketches, or inspirational images — great! If not, we’ll guide you through the best way to communicate what Our goal is to understand the scope and give you confidence in what to expect moving forward.
Second Communication & Project Details
After the initial contact, we’ll usually follow up with a second call or email to clarify details. At this point, you may send over more information, pictures, or a clearer scope of work. This helps us evaluate your needs and prepare a realistic estimate.
Free Ballpark Estimate
Based on the details provided, we deliver a free, no-obligation estimate with a low-to-high range.
This gives you a general idea of the project cost, helping you make a decision before moving forward into design and material.
Design & Development Agreement
Once the ballpark estimate is approved, we’ll schedule a meeting to move into the next phase by signing a Design & Development Agreement. This step allows us to begin working on layout options, a detailed scope of work, material selections, and a finalized proposal tailored to your project.
The Design & Development Fee is collected before any construction deposit is required. This fee helps cover the time, planning, and resources involved in creating accurate layouts, pricing, and job scheduling.
Should you decide to move forward and hire us for the project, 100% of this fee will be credited toward your final invoice.
