1
Discovery & Consultation

 

We begin by learning about your vision, lifestyle, design preferences, budget expectations, property, and project goals. This initial consultation allows us to evaluate feasibility, define priorities, and determine whether LivModern is the right partner for your project.

Pre-Construction Partnership

 

Once we decide to move forward together, LivModern begins assembling and coordinating the team required to bring the project to life. We establish an initial financial framework, identify project requirements, review site and constructability considerations, and develop a clear path for planning and design.

Design Development
​​

 

Working collaboratively with the homeowner, architect, designers, engineers, and consultants, LivModern helps guide the plans from initial concepts toward a construction-ready design. We provide practical building insight, monitor budget alignment, and help ensure that the evolving design remains consistent with the client’s vision.

Permitting, Pricing & Selections

As the plans progress, LivModern coordinates permitting, develops detailed project pricing, confirms allowances, and guides material, fixture, and finish selections. This phase brings the design, budget, and project requirements into alignment before construction begins.

Construction Management

 

LivModern manages the construction process through hands-on leadership, careful coordination, and consistent communication. We oversee scheduling, trade partners, materials, workmanship, budget considerations, and quality control while keeping the client informed as the home takes shape.

Completion & Warranty
​

 

As construction nears completion, LivModern conducts detailed reviews, coordinates final inspections, and addresses remaining items before turnover. After the client takes possession, we remain available to provide warranty support and help ensure the home continues to meet LivModern’s standards.

Lets Create Something Distinctive.

Whether you are planning a custom home or transformative renovation in Chicago or Naples, LivModern is ready to guide your project from the first conversation through completion.
