The Ramos Way
At Ramos Companies, we are dedicated to making sure that your every need is addressed during the construction process. We provide our customers with a concierge level of service before, during, and after the construction process. Ramos Design Build uses a proprietary 12-step construction process to deliver each of our homes in a consistent and professional manner, regardless of the project's size.

The Steps on the Ramos Way

We work to understand your needs and develop your vision.
The first step in our collaborative building process is to discuss your needs, understand your lifestyle, and define a vision. We develop a vision brief, define a timeline, and educate you on our 12-step engagement process. A clear vision provides a basis to begin the design process.

We believe that building a family home must start on a firm foundation
The second step in the process is to research the construction site, design the project, and establish a detailed budget. We assemble a team consisting of an Architect, Designer, and any needed Contractors that work in conjunction to ensure that every detail is addressed. Our proprietary hybrid construction agreements provide a layer of transparency, flexibility, and comfort to the process.

Executing the plan and building the home
The third step in our process encompasses the tasks necessary to build and finish the home. We help you select the finishes, pull permits, build the structure, integrate mechanicals, and finish the interior. These are the special details that make the home unique and specific to your family's needs. We provide you with an online construction portal so that you are informed on each detail throughout the process. On remodel projects, we leverage our Construction Clean Process that uses Visqueen, HEPA filters, and negative pressure air to ensure that your home remains clean through the project.
