the process
6 Step Process
The following 6 steps outline our unique process. Each is critical to the desired result. Which is an informed, happy and confident homeowner prepared and excited to begin the transformation of their house into a haven.
+ Phone consult
+ home meeting
+ adaptive consult
+ online design meetings
+ finished plans
+ ESTABLISH YOUR TEAM
I feel the surest way to develop a great relationship is to meet as new friends, rather than you writing a check with no clue what you'll get out of it. At this meeting we discuss the scope of your project and I present a cost for us to design it. This cost is one number...no "by the hour" nonsense.
First Home Meeting is No Charge
Home Meeting
step 2
This means if 10 different homeowners were to approach us about the same exact space...well, then we come up with 10 different designs. Everyone's unique, so their new spaces should reflect this. We also gather all the info & measurements of the space and take 50% of the design fee.
once you've decided to move forward, we set an adaptive consultation

Q & A
A Page Devoted to the Most Common Questions & Answers with Brian.
Everyone has their own mixed bag of priorities, frustrations, and concerns and interests. So these answers certainly don't cover everything. We would enjoy discussing your project and your particular "mixed bag" anytime!
