CHAPTER III · THE WAY WE WORK

CHAPTER III · PROCESS

Five chapters, from first sketch to final walk-through.

  1. 01

    Design

    We start in the room, not in a spreadsheet. We walk the space with you, listen to how the household actually moves through it, then sketch the scope before we price anything.

  2. 02

    Estimate

    Line-item estimates, honest about what's known and what isn't. No auto-quote. If a wall is load-bearing or a slab is uneven, you hear it from us before the contract.

  3. 03

    Permits

    We pull the permits the City of Portland requires for the scope we signed. Structural, electrical, plumbing — handled, documented, ready for inspection.

  4. 04

    Build

    One project lead, one schedule, one daily clean-up. We tell you what we did and what's next at the end of every working day. Change orders go in writing before any work changes.

  5. 05

    Punch-list & Warranty

    We walk the finished work with you, write the punch-list together, and stand behind the build after move-in. Twenty years of doing this has taught us where to come back and check.

CHAPTER V · THE FIRM · SILVIU OLTEAN, OWNER

CHAPTER V · ABOUT

Twenty years of Portland homes, one builder at a time.

Oltean Construction is owned and operated by Silviu Oltean. We build custom homes and remodel the homes Portland already has — kitchens, bathrooms, entries, living rooms, offices — across the greater Portland metro.

Twenty years on the same trade teaches you which corners not to cut and which questions to ask before the first wall comes down. We build the rooms our clients actually live in, not the ones a template suggests.

    The principal, the crew, the metrics.

    Section-cut through the office. A draftsperson's heavy line sweeps left to right; the detail flag plants on the right. That is the discipline this firm runs on.

    Homeowner notes from the binder.

    Each note is anchored to a specific project sheet. We do not publish a note without a matching project record.

    Real notes from real homeowners will be issued here on the firm's review; we do not fabricate quotes to fill space.

    A-0.0 · PROJECT INTAKE

    Start a project.

    Five sheets. Each click commits to a project step. We respond inside two business days with a real human reply — no auto-quotes, no carnival copy.

      A-1.0 What kind of project are you planning? DRAFT

      KN 1 · We talk through type before quoting scope — the project type sets the drawing set we'll work from.

      A-2.0 How deep does the work go? DRAFT

      KN 2 · Scope decides whether we issue for permit; structural work always does.

      A-3.0 When would you want to start? DRAFT

      KN 3 · Schedules cut both ways — planning ahead gets you on the calendar earlier.

      A-4.0 A real budget conversation, not a quote. DRAFT

      KN 4 · We don't publish prices because price follows scope. Honest ranges save both sides time.

      A-5.0 Issue the intake sheet. DRAFT

      KN 5 · A real human reads every intake inside two business days. The next move is a site walk — no obligation, no pressure.
