Envision Your Project From Start to Finish
Process Guide
We focus on making your project manageable and exciting by helping you envision the process from start to finish. Every home and project is unique, but this is how you can typically expect a home lighting design and installation project to progress.
01 / 03
Upon receiving your contact form submission or design request, we’ll confirm receipt and review your project to discern whether it is an appropriate fit for White River Electric. We might contact you with questions concerning your project to more accurately determine the scope and requirements and better understand your goals.
Initial REview
- Lighting specifications.
- Lighting controls.
- Construction schedule if this is a new build or if you are having other work performed on your home. This includes mechanical and appliance schedules.
- Bidding deadline or when you are looking to have all bids received.
Step 01: Initial Review & Consultations
02 / 03
If we know we can make your project a success, we will call you to set up a follow-up consultation. We will create a line-item budget so you can clearly understand the investment in your home lighting system and so we can answer any questions you might have. Here is where your ideas begin taking shape as we help you refine your controls and lighting system design.
Initial Consultation
03 / 03
With a complete understanding of your design goals, we will submit a detailed project scope and accompanying estimate. Upon your review, we can answer any questions, provide a further scope, and discuss additional options for your project and pricing, helping you outline your ideal lighting system.
Project & Budget Consultation
01 / 03
We will refine your project scope and deliver a revised estimate by implementing your ideas and desired options.
Design COmpletion
02 / 03
Once we have the design honed to your liking and you have approved the plan, we will schedule your project for a time that is convenient for your schedule. At this point, we will conduct an on-site meeting to walk through the project and guarantee we have a comprehensive vision and can deliver precisely what you are looking for.
Design Approval & Project Scheduling
03 / 03
Now we’re ready to bring your design to life! Our expert electricians will be on-site managing your project from start to finish.
Installation
01 / 03
When your new lighting system passes its final inspection, our team will equip you to understand and use your new lighting controls with ease and convenience.
Final Inspection and Owner Training
02 / 03
We don’t consider a project complete until your expectations have been exceeded. If you have any concerns or questions, the punch list phase is where those will be addressed. We will finalize every detail and make sure your system is operating perfectly.
Finalizing Punch List Items
03 / 03
Once we have resolved every punch list item, we will conduct a final walk-through and quality check. At this time, we can schedule a follow-up inspection nine months out from the date of the project’s completion. We can also discuss any follow-up fixture care and warranty information.
