Expert Home Design Services

Initial Consultation

Upon request, we will schedule a design consultation, during which we can assess your needs and discuss kitchen or bathroom designs as well as the benefits you hope to obtain from remodeling. More importantly, our team will review your budget and give you a ballpark estimate based on our past projects. This initial meeting should help you know if we are a good fit for your customized renovation.

Preliminary Design

After receipt of your design retainer for a Remodeling Presentation, we’ll work together as a team to define the broad conceptual ideas of the project in three ways:

• A “Scope of Work” will be developed, which will describe all of your wants, wishes, and goals in a written format.
• From this document, the “Preliminary Floor Plan” drawings will be developed to portray your list of objectives in a visual format.
• A budget analysis is generated, to narrow the estimated cost to within an accuracy of plus or minus 10% of the final cost, will be conducted based on the Scope of Work and Preliminary Floor Plans.

Design Development

Using the latest computer design technology, we will model your bathroom or kitchen remodeling ideas in full detail to better understand what is to be changed or added during the project. Styles, materials, finishes, and products are chosen as we finalize the aesthetic elements of your new space, which will help the actual construction run smoother, faster, and remain near the estimated expense.

• Feasibility Study (Optional) – For a fee, we along with our Trade Partners perform a feasibility study to get a more detailed analysis of the budget and better define the scope of your project. Once complete, the written Project Overview and the associated budget range will be reviewed at a follow-up meeting in our office to establish a realistic budget with which you are comfortable.

Construction Documents/Pre-Construction

Our last step in design will be to finalize any structural and detail drawings for the project, such as engineering and framing details, electrical and lighting plans, and cabinetry layout. The project budget will be set to a fixed amount based on the final design details.

At this point we will give you a window of time within which we anticipate starting your home remodeling project, as well as an approximate duration for the construction. Additionally, we begin all the “behind the scenes” work: placing orders, developing material lists, pulling applicable permits, and developing the production schedule from which we’ll be working.

Construction

We’ll review the project details one more time and address any concerns you may have and discuss special considerations we need to be aware of while working in your home. Once construction is underway, we will remain committed to it until it’s done, respecting your home, keeping it clean and safe, and leaving you with a beautiful, finished project.
