Introductory Phone Call
The first step is a complimentary 15 minute phone call where we discuss your budget, timeline, and overall project vision. This helps us understand your needs and determine if we’re the right fit for your project.
In-Person Design Consultation
If the initial phone call leads to a good fit, we’ll schedule a 1-2 hour in-person consultation at your project site. This meeting requires a non-refundable design fee of $350. During the consultation, we’ll dive deeper into the design details, scope, budget, logistics, and your expected timeline.
Design Proposal
After the consultation, we’ll provide a detailed design proposal outlining a projected range of design hours—both minimum and maximum—needed to complete the overall design. This forecast includes the time required to develop and present your design. Please note that any time spent after the design presentation—such as design revisions, reselections, purchasing, procurement, coordination of deliveries, project site visits, or creative time spent at vendor showrooms—is billed separately. Design time is billed at $195 per hour, while procurement and purchasing services are billed at $70 per hour. The proposal will also include initial time allocations for construction drawings and 3D renderings; if additional drawing work is needed beyond the original scope, those hours will be billed accordingly.
Design Presentation
Once you approve the proposal, we’ll set a presentation date, typically 4-6 weeks from approval. This is where we bring your design vision to life and showcase the creative concepts we’ve developed for your project.
Procurement & Planning
After design approval, the purchasing phase begins. This process can take several days to a month as we finalize orders and prepare for the next steps. You’ll receive an invoice detailing your selected items.
Please note that procurement and purchasing services—including proposal preparation for your selected items—are billed at $70 per hour. Time spent sourcing, coordinating, and compiling this purchasing document will be invoiced accordingly.
During this time, we’ll also introduce you to our trusted architects, contractors, and trade partners who will help bring your project to life with the highest level of craftsmanship.
Full Design & Construction Binder
Once you’ve secured your preferred contractor, we will provide a comprehensive design and construction binder. This binder includes all approved drawings and design plans, ensuring that your project is executed exactly as intended with no mistakes or miscommunication.
With this thorough documentation, both you and your team can confidently move forward, knowing every aspect of the design is clearly outlined and ready for implementation.
Construction & Furnishings
As construction and furnishings begin, you will receive monthly invoices for both procurement time and any receiving and storage fees. These charges are passed through from the third-party warehouse and receiving company we recommend for your project. This facility provides secure, climate-controlled storage and performs a white glove inspection of each item as it arrives, ensuring it is in perfect condition ahead of installation.
All furniture, lighting, and other large-scale items you’ve approved to be delivered to this facility will be managed there until you are ready for final installation. Storage fees may fluctuate based on the volume and duration of stored items. This process ensures your investment is protected and your install is seamless.
The Reveal
Once the project is ready for installation, we’ll ask for ample time to ensure a seamless and professional install. Multiple vendors will be involved in this phase. Afterward, you’ll receive the final project bill.
Final Touch: Photography
Lastly, we’ll photograph the completed project for our portfolio, capturing your beautifully designed space.
