The Stel Builders Process

We excel at turning our clients' dreams into reality. Through our trusted process, clients are guided step by step through the design, selection, and construction phases — with one integrated team from start to finish.

1. Pre-Consultation Research

We do our homework before even stepping foot inside your home. Our team gathers detailed information about your property — including zoning stipulations and restrictions — before we meet, so our first conversation is grounded in what's actually possible.

2. Initial Consultation

We work to understand your unique needs, then provide ideas, sketches, cost ranges, and a bevy of images from previously completed projects. Think of it as a funnel: we refine a number of relevant ideas down into one custom design that fits your home, your goals, and your budget.

3. Design & Selections

Using our in-house interior designer, we guide you through the most up-to-date showrooms in town — our suppliers. Rather than maintaining a static showroom, we walk the showrooms with you to review options and make selections that come together as a cohesive design.

4. Construction with Specialty Trades

We build with specialty trades rather than a single crew. A typical project involves between 10 and 35 different crews of skilled workers, each held to exacting standards for their specific scope. The result is craftsmanship at every step.

5. Project Management

Precise project management, multiple pre-job meetings, and decades of industry expertise let us keep projects moving — often well ahead of industry-standard time frames. One point of contact keeps you informed from the first day to the last.

6. The Marathon, Not the Sprint

Once the details are agreed upon, we begin a marathon — not a sprint. As experts in our field, we know that pacing a project carefully is the most efficient way to reach the finish line: on time and on budget.
