The Process:
STEP ONE: Initial Discovery
We start with a discovery call with you and your client to get to know goals and vision, property details and constraints, desired timeline, and any other design, engineering, and budgeting details that apply to the project. We're here to support you as you work your clients through the process. Always.
STEP TWO: Engagement
As soon as the Sales Order has been signed and the deposit sent, we send the take-off to you for your client's final approval.
To ease the process, Feris ADU designs are pre-engineered and ready for permitting submission, if applicable (in this case, no permit was required).
THE TAKE-OFF:
Pre-engineered. Ready for permitting (if applicable), then production.
