OUR process
the cqc difference
With years of hands-on experience renovating and remodeling homes in Raleigh, NC, we’ve developed a proven process that removes the stress from project management for our clients. Our approach keeps everything organized, transparent, and on track from start to finish. Each project we undertake follows five key phases—carefully structured to ensure quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and a seamless experience every step of the way.
01. EXPLORATION
During the exploration phase, we get to know you and your goals for transforming your attic or basement. We’ll discuss how you envision using the space—whether it’s a guest suite, home theater, gym, or office—and assess the possibilities based on your home’s layout. We also encourage you to research our past projects and read client reviews. If we both agree to move forward, we begin the design phase.
02. DESIGN
While in the design phase, we measure your attic or basement and interview you to determine your needs and goals for the space. We use this information to create 3D models of our proposed design ideas. You’ll get to decide how the space will be used—such as a home office, gym, or media room. Then, you’ll visit our showroom to pick out finishes. Once the designs are chosen, the project is moved into the refine phase.
03. REFINEMENT
In the Refinement Phase, we work with you to finalize all design choices and material selections, ensuring everything aligns with your vision. We also take care of securing any necessary permits and approvals during this stage, so when it’s time to begin, we’re ready to move forward without delays—especially important for structural attic and basement work.
04. BUILD
The fourth stage is the Build Phase. We begin by protecting the areas of your home not involved in the renovation, then start construction on your new attic or basement. You’ll receive regular updates to keep you informed every step of the way.
05. ENJOYMENT
The final phase is all about enjoying your new space. With the work complete, we’ll walk you through the finished attic or basement and make sure everything meets your expectations. Now it’s time to relax and enjoy the transformation!
