01
phone consult
Reach out to schedule your phone consult.
First find us and reach out! Then we discuss your project briefly over the phone and determine a time for a free visit at your home.
02
Home meeting
First home meeting is no charge.
We 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" or "percentage of the project" nonsense.
03
adaptive consult
Once you've decided to move forward, we set an adaptive consultation.
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.
04
online design meetings
Discussing exciting options for your home.
We continue working together in a very collaborative manner, involving continual consulting throughout, until we have determined a space plan, furniture & cabinetry layouts and fantastic lighting scenarios that have you jumping up and down in anticipation!
05
finished plans
Time for your finished plans.
You'll use this Final Design Set for bidding and build-out. Simply forward the PDF we send you to cabinet companies, contractors and whomever to get dialed-in bids. You can also drop the PDF into your city's permit portal to begin the permitting process. Simple!
06
establish your team
Find your contractor and cabinet company.
If you already have a contractor then we'll advise them in the designs we develop together. If you don't, then we have several contractors we have vetted & worked with that we would be thrilled to recommend. Also, we present you with several spectacular, vetted cabinet companies that run the cost spectrum.
