Most remodels don’t fail because of bad materials. They fail because no one is managing the complexity.
We don’t perform the construction labor. We plan the scope of work to be performed, guide selections, coordinate vetted trades, and protect your your kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel budget and timeline from start to finish, so you don’t have to manage contractors, schedules, or decisions.
Remodeling Shouldn’t Feel Overwhelming
Most homeowners don’t realize how complex a remodel really is . . . until they’re living in it.
Too many contractors • Conflicting opinions • Missed details • Budget creep • Constant decisions • No clear accountability
That’s where we come in.
ACL INNOVATIONS acts as your advocate and single point of contact, so the process feels calm, clear, and handled.
All projects begin with a structured, paid Planning Engagement..
Before You Remodel, Know the Risk.
On a typical $45,000 remodel:
Remodeling doesn’t fall apart because of paint colors.
It falls apart because no one owns the project scope, sequencing, and decision control.
That’s where Remodeling Management makes the difference.
WHAT MAKES ACL INNOVATIONS DIFFERENT
We Don’t Build Remodels. We Manage Them.
ACL INNOVATIONS operates as a Remodeling Management Company™.
We do not perform the physical construction work.
Instead, we act as your advocate and single point of contact, managing licensed trade professionals, materials, scheduling, and decision control from start to finish.
That means:
You get one accountable authority protecting your project from start to finish.
We Don’t Start With Free Estimates. We Start With Structure.
Every successful remodel at ACL INNOVATIONS begins with a Planning Engagement.
This phase includes:
The investment ranges from $750–$2,500, depending on scope.
This is professional planning — not guesswork.
If we move forward together, that planning becomes the foundation of your Managed Remodel.
HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS
Phase 1
Planning Engagement
We define scope, budget, and sequencing before demo
Phase 2
Pre-Construction Lock-In
Selections are finalized. Long-lead items are ordered. Trades are sequenced correctly.
Phase 3
Active Management
We coordinate trades, enforce timelines, manage communication, and control changes.
Phase 4
Closeout
Punch list completed. Documentation delivered. Project finished correctly.
No guessing. No unmanaged gaps
CONTRACTOR VS REMODELING MANAGEMENT
A Contractor Builds. We Manage.
A contractor performs labor.
A design-build firm designs and builds under one roof.

THE TRUTH ABOUT REMODELING
Remodeling Fails Because It’s Unmanaged
Most remodels don’t go over budget because of bad materials.
They go over budget because:
When no one owns the plan, the homeowner absorbs the risk.
You shouldn’t have to act as the project manager for your own home.
Frequently asked questions
A Planning Engagement is the structured first phase of your remodel.
Before any demolition or construction begins, we build the roadmap that protects your investment.
During this phase, we:
• Define a clear written scope (inclusions and exclusions)
• Establish budget guardrails
• Create a realistic timeline map
• Identify long-lead materials and decision deadlines
• Review feasibility, risks, and potential constraints
This is professional planning, not a free estimate.
Most remodeling problems begin before construction.
The Planning Engagement eliminates ambiguity before it becomes expensive.
If we move forward together, this plan becomes the foundation of your fully managed remodel.
A general contractor builds the project.
We manage and protect the project.
Contractors are responsible for performing construction work.
We are responsible for ensuring the project stays aligned to scope, budget, sequencing, and decisions.
The difference:
• A contractor focuses on execution.
• We focus on coordination, accountability, and risk control.
We do not perform construction labor.
We coordinate licensed trade professionals and oversee the entire process on your behalf.
When no one is clearly managing scope and sequencing, homeowners absorb the risk.
Our role is to eliminate unmanaged complexity.
Our coordination fee covers full Remodeling Management from pre-construction through closeout.
That includes:
• Trade coordination and scheduling
• Procurement oversight for materials
• Timeline enforcement
• Weekly progress updates
• Communication management
• Issue resolution and escalation
• Structured change control
• Quality checkpoints
• Final walkthrough and punch list oversight
We act as your single point of contact and accountable authority throughout the project.
We don’t charge to “stop by the job.” We manage the project from start to finish.
We assist with design direction, layout guidance, and material selections as part of the planning process.
For projects requiring architectural drawings, structural changes, or highly custom design, we collaborate with independent designers or architects when needed.
You do not need to hire a designer before contacting us.
Design, scope definition, and selection planning are integrated into the Planning Engagement so that construction decisions are grounded in clarity, not assumptions.
Because free estimates often skip the work that prevents change orders and delays.
A remodel is too significant of an investment to begin with assumptions.
Structured planning protects your time, your budget, and your expectations before construction begins.
Why Homeowners Like This Model
Traditional contractors often profit when the scope of work changes. Our job is the opposite: we protect the plan.
Your investment is for planning, coordination, communication, and oversigh. Plus access to professional-grade material options that typically save clients money.
We’ll walk you through exactly what’s included before you commit.
