Our Process
Step #1: Initial Meeting
In this first meeting, we will discuss your overall dreams and desires. We’ll meet either at our office or on the prospective site to survey it—and you can share any pictures from magazines that inspire you.
We will discuss the type of construction you’d like to use and how we can save you money on your future energy bills. Ultimate Construction is a green builder!
Step #2: Financial Planning
Because construction costs are constantly changing, it is crucial to make a budget and set aside money for additional purchases throughout the process.
After gathering architectural plans and your basic design choices, Ultimate Construction will gather proposed bids from all sub-contractors who may be involved. This process may take several weeks as we wait for the bids to come back.
Step #3: Pre-Construction Agreement
After consulting with all the sub-contractors and suppliers, Ultimate Construction will meet with you to discuss a detailed breakdown of costs. Once you have determined a budget, Ultimate Construction will draw up and sign the construction contract documents.
Step #4: Scheduling & Permits
A detailed project schedule is developed for your project. Our company reviews and adjusts it on a weekly to sometimes daily basis, and informs you of any problems or changes that may affect the completion date. In order to begin construction, the permit applications are submitted with the associated building jurisdictions. Once approvals are obtained, construction can begin!
Step #5: Project Construction
We begin and complete project construction according to the approved plan and specifications. You will be updated frequently on construction progress and any problems that may arise. The scope of work includes all aspects of building a new house such as foundations, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical work, drywall installation, and painting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of building with SIP panels in Dane County’s climate?
Structural Insulated Panels offer superior insulation and airtight construction, reducing heating and cooling costs by up to 50–60%. In Wisconsin’s cold winters and warm summers, SIPs enhance indoor comfort, reduce air infiltration, and help prevent mold and mildew.
How do I start a project with Ultimate Construction?
Begin with an initial planning meeting either at their Cottage Grove office or on-site. Share your inspiration, discuss budgets, and review construction options. They’ll manage bidding, contract documentation, permits, and scheduling from there.
How do SIP homes impact indoor air quality for residents with allergies?
SIP-built structures have tight envelopes that minimize drafts and infiltration of allergens, mold, and pollutants. Paired with ventilation systems, they help maintain clean and healthy indoor air year-round.
How does Ultimate Construction compare to other contractors in the area?
With over 35 years of experience, top-tier BuildZoom licensing scores, and a strong commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability, they rank among the higher‑rated contractors in Dane County.
Can Ultimate Construction handle both residential additions and large commercial projects?
Yes. From home additions and kitchen remodels to building commercial spaces like retail stores and restaurants, they offer full-scale project management across project sizes and types.
What does “shouse” construction involve and why choose it in Wisconsin?
A “shouse” is a hybrid structure that merges strength and utility of a shed with the comfort and functionality of a living space. Using SIPs and post-frame techniques, these structures stand up well to Wisconsin weather and are cost-effective to build.
Do they offer remodeling and green construction in Madison proper?
Yes. Ultimate Construction serves Madison and the surrounding Dane County area, providing expertise in remodeling, new green builds, and commercial projects across the region.
Will Ultimate Construction help me with energy-efficient planning and long-term utility savings?
Absolutely. They educate clients on energy-saving options (like SIPs) during early design phases, incorporating sustainable practices and materials to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
