We sit down with you to discuss your goals, timelines, and budget, ensuring we’re aligned from the beginning. This is where we get to know your business and how we can design a space that helps it thrive.
2. Detailed Planning & Feasibility Studies: With your vision in mind, our team conducts a thorough site assessment and feasibility study. This stage involves evaluating the site’s potential, addressing any regulatory requirements, and creating a clear roadmap for the project. We’ll also provide budgeting and scheduling estimates to ensure everything stays on track.
3. Collaborative Design & Pre-Construction: Our design-build team works hand-in-hand with you to create a plan that reflects your goals while considering functionality and long-term value. We handle all aspects of permitting and compliance with local codes, ensuring a smooth transition from design to build. This collaborative approach guarantees that the project stays true to your vision.

We understand that time is a critical factor in any commercial construction project. Here’s what you can expect from start to finish, ensuring transparency and efficiency every step of the way.

1. Discovery & Planning (2-4 Weeks)
We begin with a detailed consultation to align with your vision and project requirements. During this phase, we’ll assess the site, review zoning or regulatory needs, and draft a preliminary budget and schedule. You can expect open communication as we outline a clear path forward.

2. Design & Pre-Construction (6-12 Weeks)
Our design-build team collaborates closely with architects and engineers to finalize your design. We also handle all permits and ensure regulatory compliance, laying the groundwork for a seamless transition into construction. You’ll receive detailed cost estimates and a finalized project timeline during this phase, giving you confidence in the next steps.

3. Groundbreaking & Site Preparation (2-6 Weeks)
Once permits are approved, we prepare the site for construction. This includes clearing, grading, and setting up utilities. Our project managers coordinate all necessary resources, ensuring your site is fully prepped for the construction phase, no matter the complexity of the site conditions.

4. Construction Phase (3-12+ Months)
Whether it’s a small tenant build-out or a large-scale industrial facility, our team manages every aspect of construction with precision. From framing and systems installation to finishing touches, we’ll provide regular updates and walkthroughs to ensure you’re kept in the loop. Depending on the size and complexity of your project, this phase could last anywhere from a few months to over a year.

5. Final Inspections & Walkthrough (1-2 Weeks)
Before we hand over your space, we conduct thorough inspections to ensure everything meets safety standards and your specifications. You’ll be invited for a final walkthrough to review the completed work. If any adjustments are needed, we’ll handle them promptly to ensure your satisfaction.

6. Handover & Post-Construction Support (Ongoing)
After construction is complete, we provide all necessary documentation, including warranties and maintenance guidelines. Our relationship doesn’t end here—Bridgethorn Construction offers ongoing support to address any post-construction needs, ensuring your building continues to operate at its best.

We understand that cost is a crucial factor in any commercial project. While pricing can vary depending on the size, complexity, and specific requirements of your build, we’re here to ensure you get the best value for your investment.

Factors that Influence Cost:

1. Project Size & Scope: A smaller office renovation will have a different price point than a large-scale industrial facility or mixed-use development. The scale of the project directly impacts materials, labor, and timeline.
2. Materials & Finishes: Whether you’re looking for high-end, custom finishes or durable, cost-effective materials, the choice of materials plays a significant role in the overall budget. We guide you through these decisions to find the right balance of quality and cost.
3. Complexity of Design: The more complex your design, the more it can impact construction costs. Custom architectural details, specialized systems (like advanced HVAC or energy-efficient installations), or unique structural requirements can affect the final price.
4. Location & Site Conditions: The specific site can influence cost depending on factors like accessibility, grading needs, or any pre-existing structures that need to be cleared.

Our Commitment to Budget Transparency: From the very beginning, we work closely with you to develop a clear and realistic budget. During our pre-construction phase, we provide detailed cost estimates and help you understand where costs can fluctuate. We also offer value engineering solutions, ensuring you can make informed decisions about where to save without sacrificing quality.

No Surprises, Just Value: Our priority is delivering long-term value that lasts. We don’t believe in cutting corners to meet a lower price point, and we take the time to get things right. You might find that our process takes a little longer than others, but it’s because we’re committed to building a space that exceeds your expectations and stands the test of time. When you work with Bridgethorn, you’ll receive top-quality craftsmanship, transparency throughout the process, and a finished project that’s ready to support your business from day one.

“Hi Steven, Just wanted to say how grateful I am that you built my house. You did an amazing job and this storm just proved it. Hope you and your family fared the same way!”
– Barney C, Clermont, FL

“Hey buddy this is Josh on Oak island lane. I just wanted to tell you that I had one of those companies that try and sell more energy efficient equipment for homes come out to see if they could help me save money on my electric bill and the salesman actually told me that he couldn’t sell me anything because you did such a great job building the house. Thought you might enjoy hearing that.”
– Josh H, Clermont, FL

“Starting our new Forever Home in the middle of the COVID Epidemic might not have been the best of choices. However, choosing Steve Trowbridge as our builder was the perfect choice.

Steve hires only top professionals in his business and he was always on top of everything. We never had questions that he did not take the time and energy to explain in detail any process and timelines going forward.

“It has been a pleasure working with Steven on our new house. He is very knowledgeable on the local Florida building practices and has a good team of quality subcontractors. He doesn’t just build to the building code but has found a really good balance where exceeding the building code makes sense (e.g. energy efficiency), build quality and cost.”
– Peter, Clermont, FL
