The Design Phase

You approve the whole house before demo begins.

A whole-home remodel is hundreds of decisions. The design phase turns them into three things you sign:

One design

Every room rendered in one model of your home, revised in your client portal until it's right.

One price

Fixed, measured from a 3D scan and priced room by room, allowances included.

One schedule

Every phase and trade dated before demo, with payments tied to milestones.

Selections

The search is ours, the choice is yours

Your designer narrows every decision, from stone to hardware, to a short list that already works. You choose, and see each selection rendered in your own rooms before anything is ordered.

How We Build

Behind the drywall, a healthier house

A whole-home scope opens every wall, the one chance to rebuild what's behind them. Three things we make right while the house is open.

Austin whole-home remodel mid-build: an open corridor with mineral wool in every stud bay and a zip-wall barrier sealing the far end
1

Rockwool in the walls

Mineral wool in the open bays: it quiets rooms, resists fire, and doesn’t feed mold if water ever finds it.

2

New plumbing and wiring

Supply lines, drains, and circuits rerouted and brought current while every wall is reachable.

3

Dust contained, air filtered

The work zone seals behind zip-wall barriers, with HEPA filtration running through demo. Dust stays behind the plastic.

During Construction

Occupied or moved out, an honest answer

Some whole-home scopes are livable and some aren't. We tell you which yours is during the first walkthrough, and the schedule is built around that answer.

Common Questions

Whole home remodeling, answered

How much does a whole home remodel cost in Austin?
A main-level refresh typically starts around $200K, a full interior remodel runs $200K–$500K, and studs-out projects with new systems, windows, and siding start around $500K. Every project is priced line by line from a 3D scan of your home, room by room, so you see where every dollar sits before you sign. For a range today, the calculator takes two minutes.
How long does a whole home remodel take?
Design takes 3–4 weeks for a whole house, from walkthrough to a complete plan. Construction on most full-interior remodels runs 10–14 weeks depending on scope, and you know your dates before demo: every phase, trade, and milestone goes into a schedule you sign off on, and we report against it in your client portal every working day.
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
For most scopes, yes. The house splits into zones behind sealed containment with HEPA filtration, and we sequence the work so you keep a working kitchen setup and at least one full bathroom every night. For studs-out scopes there is no livable zone, and we tell you that plainly before you sign, with exact move-out and move-back dates on the schedule.
Do we have to remodel everything at once?
No. Many clients design the whole house once, then build in phases as budget allows. We game-plan which systems and spaces belong in which phase, sequenced to maximize both efficiency and livability, so phase two never undoes phase one.
Who manages all the different trades?
During design, your interior designer is your main point of contact. Once construction begins, the superintendent assigned to your project runs the job site day to day, scheduling and supervising framers, plumbers, electricians, and finish trades against the plan you approved. You get photos and a written update in your client portal every working day.
What about permits and structural changes?
Wall removals, new circuits, plumbing moves, and HVAC changes all carry City of Austin permits, and whole-home scopes usually need structural engineering. Both are scoped during the design phase, so approvals and stamped drawings are moving before your schedule is set, and the beam you need is priced before you sign.
What happens if something unexpected turns up behind the walls?
You get options and real prices, not an ultimatum. Design settles selections and scans the house before pricing, which is why surprise change orders are rare on Enso projects. When something genuinely concealed appears, your superintendent brings you choices with line-item costs. And if design should have caught it, the Enso Guarantee applies – the cost of fixing it is ours.
How do payments work?
The construction contract is fixed price, backed by the completed design, and payments are tied to milestones on the schedule, not to dates on a calendar. You can read how milestone-based pricing works on our process page. The final payment is 10% of the contract, and we don’t bill it until the punch list is complete and you’ve signed off. Three months later we’re back to make sure everything works the way it should, and all the work carries a one-year craftsmanship warranty.
