How It Works

Every project, every time.

Consultation

We learn the space, the scope, and what you want to feel when it's done. No obligation, no fee.

  • Site walkthrough or virtual call
  • Review of goals and timeline
  • Budget range discussion
  • Permit requirements assessment
  • Questions answered before we proceed

Proposal

A detailed written estimate that defines the full scope, materials, cost, and timeline, before any work begins.

  • Line-by-line scope of work
  • Material specifications
  • Permit fees included
  • Realistic project timeline
  • Payment schedule outlined

Build

Licensed subcontractors, coordinated by us. We manage the schedule, the permits, and the trades, you have one point of contact.

  • Permits applied for and managed by us
  • Licensed tradespeople on every project
  • Weekly progress updates
  • Documented change orders if scope shifts
  • Site kept clean and organized

Delivery

A final walk-through together. Punch-list items are addressed before we close the project, not after.

  • Final inspection with client
  • Punch-list completed before closeout
  • Permit final and certificate of completion
  • Warranty information provided
  • Receive a space that is ready to use
Why It Matters

The structure that prevents
the problems clients dread.

Scope creep

Defined before a dollar is spent

The most common source of construction frustration is a scope that was never clearly defined to begin with. We document every line of work in the proposal so you know exactly what you're approving before it starts.

Budget surprises

Change orders in writing, always

When conditions change, a hidden pipe, a design revision, a material upgrade, we write it up before we proceed. The cost and the schedule impact are yours to approve or decline. No verbal agreements.

Communication gaps

One contact from start to finish

You don't coordinate with subcontractors. You don't chase down status updates. You have one number to call, ours, and we give you a clear answer every time.

Permit problems

Permits handled correctly, the first time

Unpermitted work can block a property sale, void homeowner's insurance, and expose you to liability. We pull every permit that the project requires and close every inspection before the project is considered complete.

Common Questions

What clients ask
before they start.

How long does a home renovation take in Miami?

A kitchen or bathroom remodel typically takes 4–8 weeks. A full-home renovation or significant addition can take 3–6 months or more. We provide a realistic timeline in the written proposal before work begins, and we communicate immediately if anything shifts.

How does Elysium handle the permitting process?

We manage the full permit process, application, inspections, and certificate of completion, through the applicable building department. For Miami-Dade projects, that may be the county or a municipality like Coral Gables or Miami Beach (each has its own department). In Broward, we work through the relevant city. You don't manage any of this.

Do I need to be home during construction?

Not at all times. We coordinate site access with you at the start of the project and schedule trades to minimize disruption to occupied homes. You'll always know who is on site and what they're doing.

What happens if the scope changes mid-project?

Any change in scope, client-requested or discovered in the field, is documented in a written change order before additional work proceeds. The order specifies what additional work is involved, the cost, and the schedule impact. Nothing moves without your written approval.

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes. The consultation is a no-obligation conversation about your project. We'll walk through your goals, assess the scope, and discuss your timeline and budget. From there we prepare a detailed written proposal at no charge.
