The Stonewing Process
- Existing conditions validation
- Risk & phasing considerations
- Preliminary scope alignment
We pressure-test the scope against real-world costs, schedules, and funding constraints. If adjustments are needed, they happen early—before documents lock in problems.
Outputs:
- Order-of-magnitude or fixed-cost budget (as appropriate)
- Scope clarifications and alternates
- Early value-engineering options (if needed)
When design is required, we coordinate with architects, engineers, and inspectors to ensure drawings are buildable, code-compliant, and aligned with the budget—especially for ADA, structural, and envelope work.
Outputs:
- Permit-ready documents
- ADA/code compliance checks
- Clear scope boundaries to reduce change orders
- Trade coordination & sequencing
- Confirmed schedule & milestones
- Submittals, procurement, and logistics plan
- Communication plan for stakeholders
- Minimal disruption
- Clear communication
- Fast issue resolution
- Disciplined change management
We handle punchlists, inspections, and closeout documentation so your team isn’t chasing missing items months later.
Deliverables include:
- Final inspections & approvals
- As-builts and warranties
- Clean closeout package
- Final walkthrough & acceptance
Christine is the entrepreneurial force behind Stonewing’s operations. Inspired by her father, she launched her first business nearly 30 years ago, gaining extensive experience in business ownership and executive leadership across both small and large enterprises. Her expertise spans strategic planning, customer fulfillment, business finance, marketing, and forecasting. With a passion for overcoming challenges and improving lives, Christine consistently strives for the best outcomes for her clients, the brands she represents, and the employees she leads.
As a role model for women business owners and executives, Christine exemplifies excellence and leadership in every endeavor. Outside of work, Christine enjoys reading, traveling, and exploring new cultures. Her greatest passion, however, is her family—her husband of 30 years and best friend Derek, her son Taylor, daughter Josie, two dogs (Casey and Gus), and two cats (Reggie and Oprah).
