A 2.0
The schedule of work
Five scopes, deliberately not merged into one. Each is priced, drawn and sequenced by different rules, so each gets its own page instead of a shared paragraph.
Kestrel Ridge Builders, LLC builds new single-family houses. Everything below is part of doing that, and on most projects several of them run as one continuous piece of work under one contract.
They are listed separately here because they answer different questions and fail in different ways. Site development is a water and access problem. Foundations are a soil problem. The envelope is a climate problem. Design-build is a sequencing problem about when you find out what things cost. Treating them as one undifferentiated service is how a proposal ends up saying “turnkey construction” and nothing else useful.
The schedule of work
Typical spans are planning ranges, not commitments. Follow any row through to its own page.
A house built to one household's drawings on one specific lot, priced from a specification rather than from a square-foot average.
Design-Build
Drawings and price developed together, so the plan is tested against the lot and the budget while it can still change cheaply.
Clearing, grading, drainage, driveway and utilities on a raw lot, established before anything vertical is scheduled.
Slab-on-grade, stem wall or pier and beam, selected from what the soil report says rather than from habit.
Air sealing, insulation and mechanical sizing designed as one assembly for a hot, humid climate rather than borrowed from a colder one.
Typical spans are planning ranges for scheduling conversations. The span for your house is set in your written specification and draw schedule, once selections are made and the permit path for your parcel is known.
Not sure which of these your project needs
Most people are not, and it is not something you should have to work out in advance. Describe the parcel and what you are hoping to build, and we will tell you which scopes are involved and in what order.
