A Clear Plan Protects Your Budget and Schedule

Remodels go wrong when plans, pricing, and permits are left open. Every Tymex project follows the same 12 steps, so you know what happens next, what it costs, and when each payment is due.

Why Selections Come Early

Materials have lead times. Choosing finishes and fixtures at the start keeps deliveries on schedule and your estimate accurate.

Step by Step

12 Steps in 4 Phases

From planning to the final walk-through, here's exactly what happens on your project.

Phase 1

Plan

Set the design and your selections before any pricing.

Steps 1 to 2

Project Drawings

Plans come from your architect, or we can refer you to one. For small, simple projects, we provide the plans ourselves.

Finish and Fixture Selection

Selections are made early because of material lead times. We advise on your choices, recommend suppliers, and coordinate delivery.

Phase 2

Price and Permit

Know the cost, agree on payments, and get city approval.

Steps 3 to 5

Estimate

Based on your drawings and selections. If countertops, tile, or flooring are not chosen yet, we include an allowance set to your budget level, mid-range or high-end.

Payment Schedule

Up to 35 percent of the estimate is due at contract signing. The rest is invoiced as completion milestones are reached.

Building Permits

We submit your blueprints to the city planning office and handle the approval, then contact you to schedule the start.

Phase 3

Build

Construction, checked by city inspectors before anything is closed in.

Steps 6 to 10

Demolition

Existing structures and fixtures are removed, with dust contained by plastic walls.

Structural Work

Framing comes first, followed by plumbing, electrical, and heating and air conditioning installation.

City Inspections

Inspectors check the structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work before it is covered by walls and floors.

Drywall and Flooring

Walls and floors are finished once the close-in inspections pass.

Finishing

Cabinets, countertops, appliances, and fixtures are installed, followed by painting and final cleanup.

Phase 4

Finish

Review the work together and close out the project.

Steps 11 to 12

Punch List

You note anything that needs attention, and we address each item one by one.

Final Walk-Through and Payment

You review the finished project. Once every punch list item is resolved, the final 10 percent is due.

Payment Schedule

You Pay as the Work Gets Done

BODYNo large upfront payment, and the last payment waits until you're satisfied.

Up to 35%

At Contract Signing

A deposit of up to 35 percent of the estimate secures your project.

Common Questions

Process FAQs

Straight answers about payments, permits, and what to expect on site.

When do I pay?

Up to 35 percent of the estimate is due at contract signing. The balance is invoiced as completion milestones are reached, and the final 10 percent is due after every punch list item is resolved.

What if I haven't chosen all my finishes?

That’s fine. Your estimate includes an allowance for countertops, tile, or flooring you haven’t picked yet, set to your budget level, mid-range or high-end.

Who handles the permits?

We do. We submit your blueprints to the city planning office, handle the approval, and contact you to schedule the start once it’s approved.

What do the city inspections cover?

Inspectors check the structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work before it’s covered by walls and floors.

How do you keep dust under control?

During demolition, we contain dust with plastic walls while we remove existing structures and fixtures.

What is a punch list?

Near the end of the project, you note anything that needs attention, and we address each item one by one. The final payment is due only after every item is resolved.
