🔥 ChillFire Saunas – How Our Process Works

At ChillFire Saunas, we believe in clarity, craftsmanship, and care from day one. Here's exactly what you can expect when working with us:

1. Initial Call → Ballpark Quote

We start with a simple conversation.

What we do:

  • Learn about your space, goals, and ideal sauna experience.

  • Provide a ballpark quote range to help you decide if we’re aligned on budget.

What the ballpark assumes:

  • No major changes to plumbing, electrical, or structural components.

  • Site is accessible and doesn't require heavy prep or demolition.

Note: This is not a formal bid—just a realistic range to get us moving in the right direction.

2. Site Visit ($150) → Written Estimate

If the ballpark sounds good, we schedule a professional site visit.

What’s included:

  • A walkthrough of your space.

  • Discussion of possible layout options and material preferences.

  • Identification of any site-specific challenges.

We then send you a written estimate, which is designed to fall within 20% of your final build cost, assuming the project scope doesn't change significantly.

3. Estimate → Custom Design Proposal

If you approve the estimate, we move into the design phase.

What you receive:

  • A Custom Design Proposal tailored to your space, aesthetic, and lifestyle.

  • Selection of materials, layout, heater type, and key design elements.

  • Full scope of work and timeline.

  • This involves a design fee that is usually 7.5% of the site visit estimated cost.

4. Final Build Quote → Construction

The design process results in a build quote, which is your final price.

We outline clear terms, including:

  • Payment schedule.

  • Scope of work.

  • What’s included—and what’s not.

Important Note:

While we work to minimize surprises, final costs are still subject to change due to:

Material price fluctuations

Site-specific construction challenges

Client-driven scope changes

We'll communicate any changes before work proceeds.
