Feasibility Assessment

1-3 weeks

Site assessment includes remote site analysis, access review, set-backs to property lines, zoning verification, a quote from a local GC, and final quote preparation. At this step, we de-risk the project to ensure it can be delivered effectively.

Sign the contract

1-2 weeks
  • Together, we fine-tune your design configuration and iron out any final details.

  • Payment 1 - 20% - upon signing

Following steps happen in parallel

Permitting

10-16 weeks
  • We do all the permitting for you. We'll prepare and submit all required paperwork to the state and local county jurisdiction for building permits.

  • At the same time, we begin procuring materials for your dwellings. It's about to come to life!

  • Payment 2 - 50% - once framing begins

Fabrication

8-16 weeks
  • We handcraft your dwelling down to the finest details in our workshop in Colorado. [Read about our team, culture, and employee-ownership manifesto.]

Site Prep

8-12 weeks

In parallel with fabrication, your local GC begins work to make your site ready - this includes preparing the foundation, utility connections, drainage, and earthwork.

For an additional service fee, ELMNTL can manage a local GC on your behalf.

Delivery + Installation

1-2 weeks
  • Your dwelling is ready! We get it ready for the journey to your site so it's delivered completed and in mint condition.

  • Quick 2-3 day installation - that is what our modular design is made for! Your local GC will manage craning the module from the delivery truck and onto the foundation, along with final utility hook-ups. A ELMNTL project manager will be present on site to consult on the correct installation and help take any guesswork out of the process.

  • Payment 4 (final) - 10% - before dispatch
