Sutcliffe Homes and Renovations has been building custom homes and renovations for over 35 years. New clients can engage in confidence with a builder whose approach has been refined over time.

Our process is open and consultative in the Discovery and Construction / Design Proposal phases and detailed and accountable during all the Construction, Permitting and After Care phases. The following steps offers an outline of the Sutcliffe Homes and Renovations Process.

You’ve browsed our website, or perhaps seen us working in your neighbourhood or better still, had a friend refer us. Now what?

Reach out to us by phone, email or preferably through our contact form and we will engage one of our Project Developers. During this conversation we can determine the scope of your plans and you can learn how we would bring our experience to the project.

If we are aligned we move to…

“Sutcliffe Homes is clearly focussed on customer service and customer satisfaction, and show pride in a job well-done.”

You’ve met us on the phone or email, now we can get together in person. So much is learned by us taking a walk in your space or property. You can tell us about your expectations and vision for the project and we in return can offer valuable design/build advice and options. Possibilities and potential challenges are identified and addressed. With a fuller understanding we can move to the Proposal stage.

“Our first visit to the showroom was a great experience. We felt welcomed and valued. We can’t thank Sutcliffe Homes enough for all their support and guidance during the renovations.”

A detailed proposal including firm costs and proposed timeline is prepared and presented for your review.

“Communication was clear, follow-up was prompt, and the care your team showed for our project was exceptional.”

We finalize the construction agreement as a commitment from both sides and move forward into the Pre-Construction stage with a committed construction start date.

“From the very start of the process when we received a quote, to the very end when the last touch-up was complete, this company embodied professionalism, high quality work standards, transparent & frequent communication and remarkable customer service. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.”

This should be an exciting step! We dive into a series of meetings to finalize many of the details including project design, construction drawings and design selections. This process occurs in conjunction with the coordination of the necessary planning and permitting required to physically begin bringing your dream to life.

“We can’t think of anything the team could have done to make our experience better and we are absolutely delighted with the design, the workmanship and the relationship we have with the team.”

We finalize the construction agreement as a commitment from both sides. With all necessary permits in hand, we start as promised on the scheduled construction start date and move into each stage of construction. Our clients remain involved and present during every step, from the plumbing and electrical walkthroughs to the completion meeting.

“Overall a fantastic experience with Sutcliffe. Communication was good, staff were very respectful, and work quality is excellent. We are extremely pleased with our new kitchen and main floor renovations.”
