Process

Every day, we meet homeowners ready to reimagine how they live, whether it is a thoughtful refresh or a full-scale transformation. The first question is almost always the same: “Where do we begin?”

That is why we created the Lucas Brothers Design-Build Experience, a curated journey that guides you from inspiration to completion while crafting homes as unique as the people who live in them.

  • Modern black-and-white kitchen with a large island sink, gas range, open shelving, pendant light, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking trees

    1. Free Consultation

    (Find out if your project makes sense, at no cost.)

    • Schedule your visit. Pick a time that works for you and tell us a little about your project. No pressure and no sales pitch.

    • Free home visit. We come to you, walk the space, take basic measurements and talk through your vision and goals.

    • Investment range. After the visit, you’ll receive a written range tailored to your project, along with a short personal video walking you through it. You’ll know whether your project is realistic before you spend anything.

    If the range feels right, the next step is design, where we plan every detail so your price can be locked.”

  • Blurred drafting workspace with architectural drawings, rulers, pencils, and design notes on a desk

    2. Design

    (Where we plan every detail, so the price can be locked.)

    • Design. We work with you on layout, materials, and finishes, and put the scope in writing down to the details. The design fee is scaled to your project, and one-third of it is credited toward your build.

    • Numbers meeting. We walk you through the full scope and the numbers, so you can see where the money goes and ask anything before you decide.

    • Fixed price. You receive one price, with the full written scope and plans. It’s yours to keep, and it doesn’t change.

  • Modern open-concept living room and kitchen with gray cabinets, marble island, pendant lights, bar stools, and hardwood floors

    3. Build

    (Your plan, built the way it was designed.)

    • Kickoff. Before work begins, we confirm the schedule, order materials, and walk through what to expect during construction, so day one holds no surprises.

    • Your project manager. Every project has a dedicated project manager who keeps it on plan and on schedule. They’re your point of contact from the first day of construction to the final walkthrough.

    • Construction. Our trade crews build your project exactly as it was designed and priced, with your project manager overseeing the work and the schedule.

    • Weekly reports. Each week you receive a comprehensive report covering what was completed and what’s coming next, so you never have to wonder where things stand.

    • Finish and walkthrough. We walk the finished space with you together, and we don’t call it complete until you’re happy with it.
