Our Design-Build Process

Hearthstone Construction uses a 5-phase design-build process for timber frame homes, barns, and pavilions — providing single-point accountability from first consultation through final walkthrough.

1. Discovery & Feasibility — Scope definition, site constraint assessment, budget reality check, permitting flags and zoning review, schedule framework.
2. Design Development — Architect and engineer coordination, timber frame engineering interfaces, value alignment before permit submission, material selections and finish specs.
3. Pre-Construction — Permit strategy and submission, long-lead material ordering (timber frames require 8–12 week fabrication), trade sequencing, pre-construction meeting with all parties.
4. Construction — Weekly scheduling and coordination, quality checkpoints at each phase, change control and documentation, client communication cadence.
5. Closeout & Warranty — As-built documentation, system walkthrough and training, warranty and service plan, final inspection and certificate of occupancy.
