Simplified Design-Build for Tualatin Homeowners
Kalen Development offers an organized, unified approach that eliminates the need to coordinate separate architects, general contractors, and project supervisors. When one team handles both planning and building, it becomes easier to maintain alignment across scope, budget, and timeline.
- Single point of contact manages planning, estimating, and construction for streamlined collaboration
- Designs developed alongside real-world construction pricing for accurate budgeting
- Functional layouts crafted for daily living, not just visual appeal
This model minimizes unexpected changes, keeps communication direct, and ensures better job site coordination from beginning to end.
How Our Design-Build Process Works
Kalen Development follows a methodical design-build approach, so you understand what happens at every phase.
- Initial Meeting & Property Assessment – We review your objectives, financial parameters, and evaluate your site or current structure
- Design Development & Cost Planning – Working with your designer or ours, we establish preliminary plans and establish a working budget.
- Final Plans & Material Choices – Drawings, finishes, and project specifications are completed so we can finalize pricing and submit for permits.
- Permit Processing & Timeline Creation – We manage City of Tualatin permit requirements and develop a detailed construction calendar.
- Building & Project Closeout – Our crew oversees construction, manages subcontractors, and conducts a comprehensive final review before handover
