The Consulation
When you contact us, an early part of the process will involve scheduling a consultation where we discuss your plans and the design ideas you have.
We offer two kinds of consultations: In-person and Virtual.
IN-PERSON CONSULTATIONS
We visit your location to do an in-person walkthrough.
VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS
You send us photos and measurements of your space and / or, using video cam technology such as Zoom or over the phone, we discuss your project.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THIS STAGE?
We get to know you, your tastes, goals and use cases for the space you want to design.
We clarify your budget for the project.
WHAT CAN I DO TO PREPARE?
If you have any design ideas or inspiration, make note of them, so we can go over them during the consultation.
For virtual consultations, take clear photos of your space, so we can clearly visualize the work area.
Establishing the Brief
After the consultation stage we will establish the brief.
This brief outlines the goals for the project, the scope of work, the budget and the deliverables.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THIS STAGE?
We will define the brief, as we understand it, in a project proposal.
The proposal will contain the scope of work, the deliverables on our end and yours, and present a realistic budget that will be required to successfully execute the project.
Project Kickoff
After you receive our proposal, if you're in agreement with our recommendations and the terms of the proposal, then we move on to getting started with the actual work for your project.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THIS STAGE?
You sign the design contract contained within the proposal, which constitutes the work order to begin the project.
You make a requisite deposit of a percentage of the project design fee.
Work & Delivery
At this stage our team of designers, contractors, electricians, carpenters and other artisans get to work on your project.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT THIS STAGE?

WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS STAGE TO MAKE THINGS GO SMOOTHLY?
