How We Work

Numbered steps. Checked off in order. No mystery phases.

  1. Site Walk & Scope

    On-site visit within the Lubbock + 2-hr radius. Measure, photograph, note access and drainage. You get a written scope — not a verbal ballpark.

  2. Estimate & Schedule

    Line-item bid with material allowances and timeline. We log lead times for stone, lumber, and specialty orders before you sign.

  3. Build & Daily Logs

    Crew on site per schedule. Progress photos logged to the job file. Change orders documented before extra work starts.

  4. Walkthrough & Closeout

    Final inspection with you on site. Punch list completed, warranty notes filed, maintenance tips handed over.

@hqcolorado

HQ Design & Build started in Colorado in 2017. Nathan moved operations to Lubbock with the same standard: show up, document the job, build it right, and leave a clean site.

Outdoor living is the core — but masonry, hardscape, pergolas, and interior finish work all run through the same field process. One binder, one point of contact, no runaround between trades.

Service area covers Lubbock and roughly a two-hour radius. If the job is real and the scope is clear, he'll walk the site and log it.

Site Notes

Observations from the field — not testimonials. Documented patterns we see on jobs.

Drainage gets skipped on half the bids we compete against. We won't pour stone until pitch is verified — it's in the log before we start.

West Texas wind means pergola posts get engineered anchors, not deck screws. We document hardware spec on every shade structure.

Change orders go in the binder before work starts. No surprise line items on closeout day.

Colorado craft, Lubbock schedule. Same crew lead from estimate to final walkthrough.
