Project Fit

What helps MEA price the work.

A useful inquiry includes location, photos or plans, desired timing, known access constraints, and what the finished space needs to do.

Residential Projects

Patios, walls, steps, paver work, stone features, and masonry repairs are reviewed against the site conditions and desired finish.

Builder and Contractor Partnerships

MEA reviews masonry and hardscape packages for custom-home builders, general contractors, landscape contractors, and designers when plans, photos, or site notes are available.

Subcontract Work

Trade packages need enough drawings, notes, or site photographs to identify inclusions, exclusions, and unknown conditions before pricing.

Project Evaluation

Location, terrain, drainage, access, budget range, timing, and current capacity determine whether MEA can take the work on.

Process

From first conversation to walk-through

Before work starts, MEA reviews site conditions, materials, scope details, and timing, and flags any unknowns up front.

  1. 01

    Meet on site

    Start by sharing the location, kind of work, timing, photos or plans, and anything that could affect access.

  2. 02

    Confirm scope

    We look at access, grade, drainage, materials, and tie-ins that could affect the job.

  3. 03

    Prepare the base

    Your proposal spells out the work, what's excluded, key assumptions, and pricing.

  4. 04

    Build with intent

    Start dates are set based on material lead times, site readiness, and crew availability.

  5. 05

    Walk through the finished work

    We walk the finished work with you and note any follow ups.
