Step 1: Meet With Us & Begin Design
The first step is to contact us for a consultation. We will come to your home and perform an initial assessment. For simple projects, we may finalize design elements on the spot; others will take several days or weeks to develop. At this meeting, we will determine whether other professionals will need to be involved in the project such as architects, designers, engineers, etc. If needed, we will schedule another time for them to come in.
Step 2: Once We Finalize Design, We Deliver An Estimate
Before providing an estimate, we make sure that the design and engineering process is at least 90-95% complete. We will collect information, create drawings and other construction documents, and put together a preliminary design and budget. We understand that the scope of the project is subject to change, but confirming as many design elements as possible beforehand ensures that we’re on the right path, giving you the most accurate estimate possible.
Step 3: Contract, Deposit, & Schedule
Whether you are doing a fixed price or open book project, the client will be asked to approve the budget proposal, sign the contract, and we collect the deposit. Once this is complete, we will begin to discuss scheduling.
Step 4: Begin Making Product & Design Selections
At this time, we will work with you to make your selections, such as fixtures, paint colors, trim, cabinetry, countertops, etc. We are available to provide you complete guidance through this crucial process, from researching product specifications to sitting in on meetings with various suppliers and vendors.
