The Process / 03

Six modular project phases. One schedule.

Every ModMax project moves through the same disciplined sequence — from feasibility call to delivery and final punch and pass-off to the general contractor. Each phase has a target window, a deliverable, and one person accountable. We are not complete until the customer is satisfied.

and Site Feasibility

Project review with owner, developer, or builder. We determine land acreage, units, financing, schedule, and site layout. A quote is delivered to the customer for review and finalization prior to design kickoff.

After delivery, the local AHJ typically does a foundation set inspection — the "set permit" — to verify tie-in, weather seal, and utility connections. That clears the path to certificate of occupancy.
