1) Site Visit & Plan
We walk your property, take measurements, and talk through use cases: weekday dinners, weekend gatherings, quiet workspace, or a covered spa. We verify utility locations and drainage patterns, then outline footprint, roof style, and material options with an initial budget range.
2) Fixed‑Scope Proposal
You receive a written scope, timeline, and price with allowances where choices remain. We note exclusions so there are no loose ends. If permits are required, we identify the submittals and lead the process.
3) Permitting & Engineering
In Bellevue, accessory structures and decks often need permits based on height, setbacks, and proximity to critical areas. We prepare drawings, coordinate structural calcs when needed, and submit to the city for review.
4) Build & Closeout
Crews keep the site orderly, protect landscaping, and communicate daily progress. Final steps include punch‑list walkthrough, care instructions, and a warranty document.
