When planning a home remodel or commercial construction job, the first question that most clients ask is “How long will it take?” Though every job is different, Peak Construction utilizes a process that has been proven to keep your project on schedule from initial consultation through final inspection. Knowing what steps are involved and how long each typically takes will help you plan and be comfortable with your investment.
Step 1: The Initial Consultation (1–2 Weeks)
Every project starts with a consultation. We’ll have our team sit down with you during your first consultation to learn all about your vision, goals, and budget. We’ll talk about timelines, potential challenges, and the scope of work. This often includes some visits to the site and some initial discussions around design and materials.
What it means for you: Clear communication in the beginning avoids those costly delays later. Be ready to share ideas, photos, and must-have features so our team can capture your vision.
Step 2: Design & Planning (3–6 Weeks)
After the consultation, we move into the design phase. Whether you’re renovating a kitchen, expanding living areas, or undertaking a whole commercial project. We create detailed plans and review those with you. We refine layouts, select materials, and finalize budgets.
What this means for you: We need your input promptly. The quicker design decisions are made, the quicker we can get into construction.
Step 3: Permitting & Approvals (2–8 Weeks)
Building in the Hudson Valley almost always involves permits from the local municipality, especially with historic homes that require an added approval process. Peak Construction takes care of the permitting process for you so that everything is up to par with local building codes.
What this means for you: Permits take different times in various towns, and depending on how complex your project is. Having someone who knows the process professionally will help you avoid setbacks that can be avoided.
Step 4: Construction (Varies by Project)
This is where the transformation really begins. Construction covers everything from site preparation, framing, electrical and plumbing work, finishing work, and everything in between. Timelines will depend on the size and scope of your project:
- Small remodels (bathrooms, kitchens): 4–8 weeks
- Full home renovations: Several months
- Commercial builds: Project-dependent, often 6–12 months
Quality, safety, and efficiency are always our top priorities during the construction process. Our team will provide you with progress updates throughout this process.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Inspection (1–2 Weeks)
After construction ends, we will take you on a walk-through to make sure it all meets your expectations. Final inspections will follow right after, verifying that everything complies with the set building codes.
What this means for you: This last step makes certain that your project isn’t just beautiful; it’s safe, compliant, and built to last.
