01
Define the outcome
We start with how the home needs to work—not with a product catalog. We discuss use, comfort, style, schedule, investment range, and known constraints.
Project goalsConsultation typeInitial fit and service-area review
Design-build process
Clarity before construction.
PROJECT CONTROL / 01—07
The purpose of the process is simple: define the work carefully, expose assumptions early, and give the field team documents they can actually build from.
The Mattison commitment
No deposit until you have a detailed contract and approved drawings.
Project sequence
Every phase earns the next.
Some jobs are straightforward and some need deeper engineering or approvals. The sequence stays disciplined even when the scope changes.
02
Read the property
We inspect the house and site, measure visible conditions, review access, identify likely permit and design issues, and document what must be verified.
Field observationsExisting-condition photosMeasurement and constraint list
03
Design the solution
The scope takes shape around layout, roof geometry, structure, openings, materials, water management, comfort systems, and finish transitions.
Concept directionMaterial and system assumptionsDrawing and engineering needs
04
Document the agreement
You receive a detailed written contract and drawings for review. Inclusions, exclusions, allowances, responsibilities, and the payment schedule are made visible.
Detailed scopeContract documentsApproved drawings before deposit
05
Complete approvals
Permit, zoning, HOA, engineering, utility, product, and finish selections are coordinated as required by the project and jurisdiction.
Required submittalsSelections and orderingPre-construction readiness review
06
Build in controlled phases
Work proceeds through protection, demolition, support, structure, dry-in, rough systems, insulation, finishes, and exterior completion in the correct order.
Milestone coordinationWritten changes when neededField quality checks
07
Close out the project
We review the completed scope, record punch-list items, explain relevant product or maintenance information, and close the work deliberately.

Choose the right first meeting
Start where you are.
You do not need complete plans to schedule. Bring the problem, the idea, your priorities, and any photos or documents you already have.
In-home design consultation
A 30-minute visit to see the home, hear the goals, and determine the next design step.
Phone consultation
A focused first conversation for questions, early fit, and planning before a site visit.
Video consultation
Walk the site by phone camera when distance or schedule makes an initial in-person visit impractical.
Existing-customer service visit
A dedicated appointment for an active or completed Mattison project.
Permits & approvals
Building, electrical, mechanical, zoning, HOA, shoreline, septic, or other approvals may apply. The contract identifies responsibilities and known assumptions.
Selections & lead times
Windows, doors, specialty glass, roofing, decking, trim, fixtures, and finishes are confirmed early enough to protect the sequence where practical.
Changes & concealed work
A change in price, material, or schedule is documented. Concealed conditions are evaluated after they are exposed instead of guessed into the contract.
