- DesignStep 1
Phase One: Conceptual and Budget Feasibility
The intent of phase one is to explore design and material options enabling us to develop a conceptual plan and recommended budget for the proposed project.
- We will interview the client to assess their needs and take detailed measurements of the proposed space to be renovated.
- We will provide one or more design options to be presented in the form of conceptual floor plans.
- Plans will show general changes in room design including new doors, windows, added space and changed wall configurations.
- Cabinets and countertops will be laid out including appliances and fixture locations. Specialty built-in items will be included on the concept plans.
- A recommended budget will be provided including cabinets, counter tops, fixtures, flooring, and remodeling labor. Final pricing is subject to completion of detailed plans and specifications. We will only move to phase two once a conceptual plan and budget are agreed to.
Phase Two: Detailed Design Development
The intent of phase two is to move the conceptual design into detailed plans, 3D models, and specifications from which a final proposal can be presented.
- Final plans will include a detailed floor showing all structural and non-structural changes to the proposed space.
- Detailed layouts for cabinets, countertops, appliances, fixtures, and specialty built-in items will be included.
