House Plans
Spec Sheet Review
Bring your own for us to review or use our draftsman to create your house plans.
During this review, we collaborate with you to designate each detail of your home.
The specification sheet outlines all the key details of your home—from your preferred materials to the finishes you envision. It plays a vital role in bringing your dream home to life, serving as a clear reference point for every step we take throughout the build.
Bidding
Budget
With an accepted budget, the spec sheet will be finalized which will guide every step of your build.
The house plans & spec sheet will be sent to our incredible trade partners for bidding.
Contract Signing
Once the contract is signed, you will be given access to our online project management software - CoConstruct.
CoConstruct is a user-friendly project management platform designed specifically for builders and their clients. At Fortify, we use CoConstruct to help us keep your project organized and stress-free. It lets you view schedules, make selections, track progress, and message us—all in one place. It’s easy to use, and it keeps everyone on the same page, so you always know what’s happening.
Fortify will secure the required permits for your build.
