Initial Meeting

The initial meeting is always complimentary. We discuss the vision, scope, and what our involvement in the project will be. This is where we are able to answer any questions pertaining to the project and the design/construction industry. We also talk about how the billing works (retainer method). This meeting helps both of us decide if we are a good fit.

Measure

We come in and measure pertinent spaces to the scope of the project. This meeting is the beginning of the project and after obtaining the measurements we typically schedule the design meeting.

Design Meeting

This is the first collaborative meeting. We start in 2D and discuss big picture layouts. We draw all over the floor plans, collaborate, and combine layouts until we have a rough draft of the project. We dream big (within reason)!

Bidding Phase

The layout is sent to a contractor for numbers. This step can be tedious and takes time, but we are always available for encouragement and to answer any questions clients might have. Once we get the bids, we can decide with more clarity how to move forward, what to change, and ways to adapt.

Specification Phase

The specification phase can sometimes overlap the bidding phase. Here, we dive into the details, ranging from the flooring, cabinetry, and countertops to the drawer pulls and grout color. We can bring samples to you or we can shop together! Once decisions are made, we get things ordered.

Construction Phase

This is the messy phase. We walk alongside clients during construction and assist both them and the contractor by answering questions and helping when problems arise. We are here for you and will continue to offer ideas and adjustments as needed.

Wrap-Up

We tie up loose ends, get photos of your new space, and celebrate!
