OUR BUILDING PROCESS
At Caliber Contractor we approach each and every residential or commercial project that we build in St. George as a piece of art, a creation if you will. We work hand in hand with all of our subs and contractors to ensure that the quality of work that they provide exceeds any requirements that we have, meaning that the quality of your home and the craftsmanship involved will surely satisfy your expectations. We use only the finest artisans in our cabinets, counter tops, floors, painting and all other aspects, and you will find Kaden visiting each job site most every day to ensure that we are on schedule, but most important, on point with excellent construction.
A SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
The process of building your home is one in which you are certainly involved in every step of the process. Our goal is to provide you with a transparent building process, enabling you to be informed, be aware and keep in “the loop” with all we are doing. We also hope to make the creation of your home an enjoyable process. Here is a brief rundown of what we do to bring your home to fruition:
1. The Initial Meeting
We will set up a time to meet at Caliber Contractors office. Here we will discuss location, initial design criteria, budget, and financing if necessary.
2. Location and Plan Design
We will visit the location and make sure there is no issues that will affect the construction process. If necessary we will help our clients through the design process with the architect of their choice or our inhouse architect.
3. Plan Review
Once preliminary is perfect and final set is drawn, final numbers for cost will be established and any final details to be included in cost of construction.
Tips: When in this stage it is very important to know all of your selections or wants for the home we are about to build. We will provide you with a selection sheet to fill out for your home. This will help avoid any change orders during the construction process. By hashing out all the details at the start of the construction process we avoid time delays during the process.
4. Contract Signing and Earnest Money Placed
An official agreement outlining the terms will be written up and signed by all involved parties.
5. Documents and Lending Finalization
We will get copies of documents over to appropriate parties
Home owners to finalize lending
6. Construction Phase and Selection Process Can Begin
At this point construction can begin. We will obtain the appropriate permits and begin the home building process.
We will guide you through each phase as to what we will need from you and help you stay in your budget.
7. Meetings/Contact
Throughout the construction phase we will be in constant contact with you regarding the progress of your home. At this time we will be continually discussing the upcoming finishing materials that you want to use. We will also keep track of your budget continually with you and if you decide to go over your allowance at any time, those overages are to be paid for at that time.
We will also discuss when you can lock in your rate when we begin to near the final stages of construction.
8. Final Stages of Construction and Closing Preparations
We will go through your home throughout the construction process and near the end will make sure every detail is in place.
This is when appraisals and inspections can be set up
We will work with you to schedule a closing date
A walk-thru will be preformed with you – details such as whirlpool tubs (if applicable), how to adjust thresholds, cabinet guides, and etc. will be discussed.

When closing occurs, we will hand over your remaining keys! Please have appropriate utilities ready to switch over everything into your name as the new official home owners!
