One team from first sketch to final reveal
BuildStellar is a design-build remodeler, which means design and construction live under one roof. You are not hiring a designer to draw a plan, then hunting for a separate contractor to build it and hoping the two agree. One accountable team handles your project from the first in-home visit through the final walkthrough, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
That structure is why our projects stay on scope and on budget. The people designing your kitchen, bathroom or whole-home remodel are the same people who know what it costs to build and how long it takes, so the plan you approve is a plan we can actually deliver. Below is exactly how a BuildStellar remodel comes together, and what to expect at each stage.
Your remodel, step by step
Every remodel is different and these phases often overlap. The timelines below are typical ranges, not fixed promises. We build a schedule specific to your project before any work begins.
In-Home Consultation
Free, about 1 hourWe come to your home, listen to how you live and what you want to change, look at the space in person, and talk honestly about budget and timeline. There is no cost and no obligation.
Design Development
About 2 to 4 weeksOur designers turn your ideas into a real plan: floor plans, elevations and a clear scope of work. We refine layout, flow and function together until the plan fits your home and your budget.
3D Renderings
Alongside designYou see your remodel before we build it. Photorealistic 3D renderings let you walk through the new space, test finishes and layouts, and make changes on screen instead of mid-construction.
Material Selection Appointments
About 2 to 3 weeksWe guide you through selecting cabinetry, countertops, tile, flooring, fixtures, hardware and paint. You work from real samples in focused appointments, so choices feel clear instead of overwhelming.
Permitting
About 1 to 3 weeksWe prepare and submit the drawings and pull all required permits through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, then coordinate inspections so your project stays compliant from start to finish.
Construction
Varies by scopeOur vetted in-house crew builds it, led by a dedicated project manager. We keep clean, organized job sites, protect the rest of your home, and give you steady updates every week.
Final Reveal and Walkthrough
Final weekWe finish the punch list, then walk the completed space with you in detail. We do not call your remodel done until the craftsmanship is right and you are ready to enjoy it.
