Our Process

At Matchbook Design + Build, our process is designed to keep creativity and construction aligned from day one. By bringing designers, builders, and clients together under one roof, we eliminate the disconnect that often slows projects down — and replace it with clarity, collaboration, and craftsmanship.

Discovery

Every great project starts with a spark.
We begin with a conversation — learning about your goals, your lifestyle, your site, and your vision. Together, we define the scope, timeline, and budget to make sure we’re building on a solid foundation.

What happens here:

  • Initial consultation + site visit

  • Understanding your needs and style

  • Budget and feasibility discussion

  • Project proposal

Design Development

This is where ideas take form.
Our design team creates concept plans, 3D visuals, and material palettes that reflect your goals and the unique character of your space. We collaborate closely with you to refine every detail before construction begins.

What happens here:

  • Concept sketches + architectural drawings

  • Interior design + material selections

  • 3D modeling and visualization

  • Budget alignment + scope confirmation

Pre-Construction

Before we build, we plan — carefully.
Our construction team reviews the design in detail, finalizes pricing, and develops a comprehensive project schedule. Permits and approvals are secured, and we make sure everything is ready to move smoothly into the build phase.

What happens here:

  • Detailed construction drawings

  • Final budget + schedule approval

  • Permitting and documentation

  • Pre-construction meeting

Build

The moment design becomes reality.
Our builders and craftsmen bring every detail to life with precision and care. Because our design and build teams work as one, questions get answered fast and adjustments are made seamlessly — keeping your project on time and on budget.

What happens here:

  • Construction management + site supervision

  • Quality control + progress updates

  • Design-team oversight throughout build

  • Regular client walkthroughs

Completion + Beyond

When the last detail is finished, we walk through your new space together to ensure everything meets our shared expectations. But our relationship doesn’t end there — we stand behind our work and remain a resource long after move-in day.

What happens here:

  • Final inspection + client walkthrough

  • Punch list completion

  • Warranty + support

  • Project photography + celebration
