When it comes to creating your dream outdoor space, it’s essential to have a clear plan in place. At Hinkle Outdoor Living, we’ve honed our process over the years to make it as straightforward and efficient as possible. With over 2500 satisfied clients in the Kansas City area, our Hinkle Outdoor Living Process has proven to be a successful roadmap for bringing your outdoor vision to life.
Step 1: Begin with a Conversation
Our Hinkle Outdoor Living Process kicks off with a simple yet crucial step – initiating a conversation. Head over to our website and either book a call or click on the “Get Started” tab. By filling out the necessary information, you provide us with vital details about your location, project goals, and budget. This initial contact is your first step towards turning your vision into a reality.
Step 2: The 30-Minute Design Call
Once you’ve taken the first step, you’ll have a 30-minute design call with none other than Zach Hinkle himself. During this conversation, we explore the specifics of your project. This call serves multiple purposes: to ensure that your project aligns with our expertise, to determine if we are the right fit for you, and to discuss your project’s ideas, scope, and budget. This personal touch allows for a more detailed discussion than talking to a receptionist.
Step 3: The Design Consultation Meeting
If it’s established that we are a suitable match for your project, the next phase is scheduling a design consultation meeting. During this on-site visit, our team, including Randy, our 3D expert, will come to your property. Randy will take measurements, capture photographs, and request a plot plan if available. This data forms the foundation for creating a 3D design that is tailored precisely to your project. Involving multiple team members ensures thoroughness and accuracy.
Step 4: Collaborative 3D Design Review
Within 5 to 10 business days of the design consultation meeting, we will present you with a 3D rendering of your project. You can schedule a Zoom call at your convenience to review the design with us. This collaborative approach allows us to walk through the design hand in hand with you, making any necessary adjustments. This process minimizes misunderstandings and ensures that the design aligns perfectly with your vision.
Step 5: Detailed Budget Proposal
With the design finalized, we move on to creating a detailed budget proposal, which typically takes around 5 to 7 business days. This proposal is based on the approved design, and we’ll send you another link to review it together. During this session, we will explain all the elements and options, providing complete transparency. If any material changes are needed, we’ll discuss them at this stage.
Step 6: Engineering and Permitting
Should you choose to proceed with your project, we’ll collect a small deposit upfront, often referred to as an engineering deposit. This deposit allows us to involve an engineer if necessary, ensuring your project complies with all local regulations. We work closely with you to refine the project details during this phase. Once the engineering aspects are settled, we move on to the permitting stage. As a licensed Class C contractor, we handle all the necessary permits, ensuring a smooth process.
Conclusion
At Hinkle Outdoor Living, our aim is to make your outdoor project an enjoyable and hassle-free experience from start to finish. We offer assistance with material selection at our design centers and strive to be by your side at every step.
