Your vision is our North Star
Our process is one we’ve refined over more than 20 years. It has served numerous clients across hundreds of projects, bridging the gap between architecture, engineering, interior design, and construction. But more importantly, it keeps your satisfaction at the very core of our efforts.
Each step in our process invites you to collaborate with our team, contribute ideas, and move with confidence toward a finished product you’ll cherish.
Every step of the way.
Step 1
INITIAL DESIGN EXPLORATION
Before we begin work, we want to understand your ideas, must-haves, anxieties, and frustrations. Our dedicated Initial Design Coordinator will sit down with you to hear your thoughts, review floor plans and renderings of your space, and provide feedback.
As our team continues developing your project, we will take the lead on any zoning, architectural, and engineering requirements. Then, once you’re excited about the direction of our initial designs, we will present you with an itemized budget to help you prioritize and invest your resources where you’ll derive the most value and joy.
Step 2
FULL DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Now that we’ve confirmed a project direction and gained clarity on your investment goals, we can delve into the details of your project. This is where the real fun starts.
We’ll talk through flow, structure, furniture layout, lighting, materials, and finishes. We’ll also encourage you to share Pinterest or Houzz idea collections with us so that we can help curate project elements. Your designer will combine this inspiration with the Initial Design renderings to bring your vision one step closer to fruition.
All the while, our development team will be learning more about your home, assessing potential pricing risks to better inform our budget and forecast complications. This is just one more way we strive to create an environment of support and transparency for our clients.
Step 3
Logistics &
Pre-Construction
Once you’ve finished the design phases, approved the final plans, and signed the construction agreement, our team will begin the pre-construction process. This phase is all about preparation, as we confirm trade schedules, apply for permits, purchase materials, and perform final walkthroughs and prepare you to move out/live in the space.
Once construction begins, it’s harder to change plans, so our goal is to be as thorough as possible here. We also want you to feel prepared. Even the most efficiently-managed home renovation project is a considerable undertaking for a homeowner. We’ll work with you to make sure that our work never disrupts yours.
Step 4
Construction, Project Close Out & WArranty
We love what we do and we want you to love it, too. That’s never more apparent than once we begin work on your home. Home remodeling can be stressful, but our seasoned staff strive to bring joy and ease to every project.
Throughout construction, we’ll meet with you for on-site updates, send progress updates through our online dashboard, and check in to make sure you always feel taken care of. Watching your space transform into a new home is exciting, and we’ll keep you looped in at every step.
Your project isn’t finished until you have had every opportunity to test it out. Our 2-year limited warranty leads our competition by leaps and bounds. We will take direct responsibility for most labor warranty issues and will help you handle your product warranties as well.
