Wentworth Process

These 10 steps take you through our home remodeling process in more detail:

  1. Initial Consultation: We meet with you in your home to view the space and gather information about your goals for the design-build project.
  2. Conceptual Budget: Based on the initial information, we establish a conceptual budget for your home architecture project.
  3. Design Phase: We measure and photograph your house and begin to develop design solutions.
  4. Design Presentation: We present you with designs – complete with plans, elevations, perspectives, product samples and more.
  5. Budget Review: The preferred design is used to establish a more accurate budget range for your home architecture project.
  6. Home Construction Documents: On your authorization, we prepare final drawings and specifications.
  7. Interior Design, Products and Finishes: Our interior design staff guides you through the selection process.
  8. Fixed-Price Contract: A fixed-price contract is prepared from the final plans and specifications.
  9. Building Permits: We procure all necessary approvals and permits for construction.
  10. Home Construction: Construction begins as scheduled.

From kitchen remodels to two-story additions, the Wentworth team has experience with all types of design-build and is familiar with building codes and permit requirements in the Washington, DC area.

“ Hi, Bruce,
I look forward to your articles in Chevy Chase Village Life -- I love bungalows so I immediately read the article in the latest issue that arrived yesterday (as your team was here planning for the photo shoot). I also liked the Sponsor Spotlight this month -- featuring your company. Is it possible to get a reprint or link to your article on porches that appeared recently? I would love to add one to our NC beach home, but so far no one has been able to figure out how to get access from the inside to the outside! I know my sister would love to see the article too. Thanks for ALL of your amazing work. I hope you will feel free (and confident) to use us as references. The only hard part will be communicating what an outstanding job -- beyond our high expectations -- your team did for us. We are demanding, but your team is more demanding in the excellence that they deliver. ”
