Understanding the Remodeling Process: From Plans to Permits to Construction

Many homeowners begin a remodel not fully knowing what to expect — and that’s completely normal. A successful renovation relies on organization, clear planning, and a contractor who guides the entire process. At Under Construction Co., Bill manages every step to ensure your remodel stays on track and aligned with your vision.

Here’s what the remodeling process typically looks like.

1. Initial Consultation & Vision Planning

Every project begins with a conversation about your goals, budget, and the functionality you want to achieve. We evaluate your home and determine what’s possible.

2. Drafting the Plans

Unlike many contractors, Bill drafts the plans directly — eliminating the need for third-party designers or architects for most residential remodels.

3. Permitting & Approvals

We handle all communication with Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, or county permitting offices. This step ensures your project meets local structural and safety standards.

4. Construction & Project Coordination

With trusted subcontractors and proven processes, we manage all phases of construction, keeping the worksite clean, organized, and safe throughout.

5. Final Walkthrough & Completion

We ensure every detail is finished correctly and that your new space meets expectations in both function and quality.

Conclusion

Understanding the remodeling process can help you make confident decisions and enjoy the transformation of your home. If you’re ready to start your project, we’re here to help.
