Step 1

Your Vision

We get to know you and your dream, and establish the vision you have for the space. Not every detail needs to be decided all at once, but you should feel that we understand what you are looking to get out of your home.

Step 2

Project Overview

Your ideas start to take shape. We'll identify the priority details, refine the direction of the project, and ensure it reflects the way you plan to live in the space.

Step 3

Timeline

Building gets messy, often leading to bloated budgets due to short-sighted planning. We help first by holistically outlining the budget evenly to ensure no space is left out of balance.

You've got questions.

How many homes does iLevel have going at once?

We intentionally keep our workload controlled so every client receives the attention they deserve. Typically, we have 4–7 homes in active construction at one time, depending on the phase of each project. Some homes may be just starting excavation, while others are in the framing or finishing stages. This balance allows us to maintain quality, communication, and proper oversight on every project.

How often does the project manager visit the jobsite?

Our project manager is involved multiple times per week, and sometimes daily, depending on the phase of construction. Certain stages, such as foundations, framing, mechanical rough-ins, and finishing work, require closer supervision. We stay closely connected with our subcontractors throughout the process to make sure everything stays on schedule and is built correctly.

How often can I visit the jobsite?

You're welcome to visit the jobsite anytime with coordination. We simply ask that you schedule the visits with us so we can ensure safety and avoid interrupting subcontractors while they're actively working. Many clients like to visit during key milestones, such as framing completion, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, and finishing.

What insurance coverage does iLevel carry?

iLevel carries Builder's Risk insurance on every project, which helps protect the structure during the course of construction. Your home is scheduled under our policy based on the project's contract value, and that coverage stays in place until the project is completed and your homeowner's insurance takes over. Builder's Risk typically helps protect against covered losses such as:

  • Fire
  • Storm damage
  • Theft
  • Vandalism
  • Jobsite damage during construction
What about Builder's Risk insurance required by the bank?

Many lenders require the homeowner to carry a Builder's Risk policy as well. In our experience, this creates dual coverage, which is a good thing. If something unforeseen were to happen during construction, having two policies in place provides additional protection for the project.

How do you keep homeowners informed throughout the process?

Communication is a big part of the iLevel experience. We keep homeowners informed through several methods, including:

  • Daily logs through our project management software, typically at least 1–2 per week, often more
  • Jobsite photos
  • Phone calls and Zoom meetings
  • 3D scans of the home during construction, especially helpful for out-of-state clients

The goal is to keep you connected to the project, even when you're not physically on site.

What is the communication process during the build?

Communication happens consistently throughout the build, with updates happening weekly or as needed, depending on the stage of construction. Some weeks involve more discussion when selections or decisions are required, while other weeks are simply progress updates.

Jason did an amazing job. He was great at communicating. There were no unexpected costs — he kept to his quote, with exception of a couple of add-ons we agreed to in advance. I highly recommend Jason and iLevel Construction.
