    Planning a Construction Project?

    Serious projects start with design.

    If you are planning an addition, garage, porch, outdoor living space, remodel, or new construction project, Highlander may recommend starting with a paid Design & Consultation Agreement. This helps define the scope, create useful drawings, understand realistic budget ranges, and prepare the project for estimating, permitting, and construction.

    Still exploring? That is okay. Tell us what you are considering, and we will help you understand the right next step.

    Tell us about the project.

    For many construction projects, the first step is not an instant quote — it is defining the scope. Share what you are considering, any plans you already have, and your timeline. A Highlander project advisor will personally review and respond as soon as possible.

    Plan Before You Build.

    When a project needs paid design, Highlander's Design & Consultation Agreement defines the phase, deliverables, price, schedule expectations, and other commercial terms before design work begins.

    Phase 1

    Discovery & Scope

    Site review, goals, constraints, and a written scope of work. We define what the project really is — before anyone draws or prices it.

    Phase 2

    Plans, 3D Views & Material Direction

    Our in-house design team produces layouts, 3D views, and material direction so you can see, refine, and approve the build before it starts.

    Phase 3

    Permit Set & Construction Documents

    Drawings and construction documents prepared for the agreed scope and, when applicable, jurisdiction review. The reviewing authority decides permit approval and any required revisions.

    Paid design and construction are separate commitments. Any construction credit, ownership/use right, or other commercial term applies only when it is stated in the signed project agreement.
