We’ll meet at our design studio to review your preliminary 3D design, project scope, target investment range, and projected timeframe. Plus, you’ll learn more about our approach to remodeling and meet other team members..
DESIGN & PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
If you appreciate our full-service approach and you’re on board with the preliminary plan, we’ll present you with a Design & Project Development Agreement and collect the retainer. Next, we’ll dive deeper into your project to figure out all the details.
INSPIRATION
We want to know what appeals to you! We’ll ask lots of questions to get a feel for your distinct style and preferences. We’ll also discuss your goals and vision for how your remodeled space will function, along with pros and cons of your current layout. You’re encouraged to share ideas, photos, online inspiration boards, magazine pics — anything that helps us tailor your design.
DESIGN & SCOPE FINALIZED
We’ll make an in-depth assessment of your current space and its functionality, then we’ll determine the best layout to meet your goals. Next, we’ll focus on selecting cabinetry, countertop, fixtures, tile, flooring, and beyond. Focusing on both function and form ensures we present you a fully curated design.
