One Team, from Design to Build
Because we're a design-build firm, the same team designs your project and builds it — so nothing gets lost between a designer who drew it and a crew who never saw the plan. That's what makes our process feel smooth: you're never passed off, and there are no "surprise costs" or guesswork along the way.
The 5 Steps
1. Initial Call
A quick conversation to learn about your project and make sure it's a good fit — scope, goals, and timeline.
2. Consultation
We come to your home to see the space in person, understand how you live in it, and talk through your vision and goals.
3. Design Phase
This is where it comes to life: space planning, material selections, CAD layouts, and an on-site mechanical analysis so the design is grounded in what's actually behind your walls.
4. Project Estimate
We line-item every cost and list the contingencies, so you see exactly what you're paying for before anything begins — complete transparency, with no "surprise costs."
5. Build
The same team that designed your project builds it — and we treat your home like our own. That means HEPA-filtered containment, zip-wall barriers, daily cleaning, and low- and zero-VOC materials throughout. We handle permitting and inspections, and we keep you informed the whole way to the final walkthrough.
Why Our Process Protects You
One accountable team from start to finish. A design priced against real construction costs, so the plan you fall in love with is the one you can actually build. And a jobsite run cleanly and respectfully, because you're still living your life while we work. That's the New Creations difference — and it's what's earned us 170+ five-star reviews from Austin homeowners.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the remodeling process start?
With a quick initial call to learn about your project, followed by an on-site consultation. From there we move into design, a transparent line-itemed estimate, and the build.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes — permitting and inspections are part of our process, so it's not on you.
Will I know the cost before work begins?
Yes. We line-item every cost and list contingencies during the estimate phase, so there are no surprise costs once the build starts.
Do you charge for the design phase?
Yes. Design is billed at $125 an hour, typically 30 to 70 hours for a complete kitchen or bath. A professional, accurate plan takes real time and expertise — and it’s what makes the rest of your remodel run smoothly.
