How We Work

From first conversation to final walkthrough.

Every Shipwright Homes project moves through six stages. Each one is structured, transparent, and led by a single point of accountability.

01 — The Six Stages

A process designed around clarity.

Construction is uncertain by nature. Our process exists to make the uncertainty manageable — for us, and especially for you.

/ 01

Consultation

We start with a conversation. Your goals, your lot, your timing, your budget. No commitment, no hard sell — just an honest assessment of whether we're the right fit for the project.

/ 02

Design coordination

If we're building new or renovating substantially, the design phase comes next. We work with your architect or introduce one of our trusted design partners. The goal: a buildable, beautifully detailed plan you'll love.

/ 03

Estimating & contract

Firm bids from every sub-trade before we sign anything. You'll see line-item pricing and know exactly what the project costs before construction starts — not after.

/ 04

Permits & pre-construction

Permit submittal, engineering review, material orders, and pre-construction scheduling. We handle the jurisdiction work so you don't have to.

/ 05

Construction

On-site every day, with weekly updates and milestone walkthroughs. Subcontractors managed, schedule held, surprises surfaced and explained promptly.

/ 06

Punch list & handoff

Walkthrough, punch list, documentation, and clean handover. Every system, every fixture, every detail documented for ongoing care.

02 — Begin

Let’s talk about your project.

The first conversation costs nothing and tells us both whether the project is a fit. We’ll talk through goals, scope, timing, and what a realistic budget looks like.
