  • How is your process for Design & Build Remodeling or New Construction:

    Our projects advance in stages. 


    First is the Discovery Stage (1-3 weeks).

    We begin with an exploratory phone call or zoom meeting to get to know each other & discuss a in a little more detail the goals for the project. It is important for both parties to feel that we are a good match for each other. After all the necessary details of the project are understood, we sign a contract detailing the scope of work & applicable fees.


    Second is the Design Stage (4-8 weeks).

    At this point, we have signed a contract and received a deposit for services. In this stage our clients begin using our online platform to access the virtual studio where we share images, information, inspiration, renderings and all other deliverables throughout the project.


    Third is the Procurement & Production Stage (4-12 weeks).

    During this stage we place orders & manufacture all of the items needed for installation.


    Forth is the Installation Stage (3 - 12 weeks).

    By far the most gratifying, once we have obtained all of the elements needed for the project, we begin installation.
