How our build process works
Clarity, craftsmanship, and care from day one. Here's exactly what you can expect when working with us — open any step to see what it entails.
01Initial call → ballpark quote
We start with a simple conversation.
What we do
- Learn about your space, goals, and ideal sauna experience.
- Provide a ballpark 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.
This is not a formal bid — just a realistic range to get us moving in the right direction.
02Site 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.
- An overview of past projects we've done to align on style and budget.
We then send you a written estimate, designed to fall within 20% of your final build cost, assuming the project scope doesn't change significantly.
03Estimate → custom design proposal
For custom projects or complete wellness spaces, if you approve the estimate, we move into the design phase.
What you receive
- 3D rendered design options tailored to your space, aesthetic, and lifestyle.
- Recommendations of materials, layout, heater type, and key design elements.
- Scope of work and timeline outline.
This involves a design fee that is usually 5% of the site-visit estimated cost.
04Final build quote → deposit and schedule
The design process results in a build quote, which is your final price. Once everything looks right, we collect a deposit for materials and put you on our build schedule. Most kits are done in under a week; custom units run 3–8 weeks depending on scope and scale.
We outline clear terms
- Payment schedule.
- Scope of work.
- What's included — and what's not.
Final costs can still shift with
- Material price fluctuations.
- Site-specific construction challenges.
- Client-driven scope changes.
We work to minimize surprises, and we'll communicate any changes before work proceeds.
05Construction → handoff and ongoing support
The week before your build, we'll be in touch to align on our arrival window and anticipated timeline based on weather and other conditions. Our expert team builds your setup and leaves you with a ready-to-use wellness space.
As part of the experience
- We introduce you to your setup — the basics of caring for everything.
- Maintenance and use guidelines, plus a packet of information to get you started.
- We're just a call away if anything comes up.
