Reach out through our contact page, call us at (504) 612-1222, or email info@greenterraconstruction.com. We'll schedule a site visit and owner meeting to understand your vision, review drawings and scope, and walk you through our TERRA process — Tell Us Your Vision, Evaluate & Align, Refine the Plan, Run the Build, and Assure.

TERRA is our client-facing project journey: T — Tell Us Your Vision, E — Evaluate & Align, R — Refine the Plan, R — Run the Build, A — Assure. We don't break ground until everything else is grounded — your scope, your budget, and your expectations.

After the site visit and scope review, we provide a non-itemized estimate. For clients who want a detailed breakdown, we offer a Preliminary Agreement that covers an itemized division cost breakdown with prorated overhead and profit. This ensures full transparency before a contract is signed.

We use milestone-based draws tied to project progress. A mobilization draw is collected before work begins (covering permits, material procurement, and initial scheduling), and subsequent draws are tied to completed phases. Every payment milestone is outlined in the contract before signing.

Timelines vary based on scope, permitting, and complexity. A kitchen or bath renovation might take 6–10 weeks, while a full home renovation or new build can range from 4–12 months. Historic projects in HDLC or VCC jurisdictions may require additional review time. We provide a detailed schedule during the planning phase.

GREEN stands for our core values: Growth, Reliability, Efficiency, Ethics, and Network. These aren't just words on a wall — they guide every decision we make, from how we hire to how we build. Learn more on our GREEN Way page.
