our process
While building great homes, every experience is a little different. Genre offers a complete, custom, design/build process whether it’s building new or renovating the old, however the overall process remains fairly consistent. Overall timelines are certainly by the local weather and by which municipality the permit review will be conducted in. The timelines below represent the entire process, of which, approximately half is upfront with design, engineering and permitting.
