The Design House Approach

 

DESIGN. PLAN. BUILD. FURNISH.

DESIGN

Contact

 The first step is yours! Don’t be nervous, just reach out and say “hi”! We’re excited to meet you and we'll book an appointment to chat as soon as possible.

Initial Consult

Let's meet!  We are usually on site for about 2 hours, and 2 designers attend.  We will review what you are hoping to achieve in the space, go over likes, and dislikes, needs, wants, budget etc. We will take measurements at this time as well, and just get to know each other!  There will be an invoice sent out for this a few days prior and we just request payment be made before our appointment.

Inspiration Package

 Once everyone has signed off, the fun can really start!  

 Priced per hour, which will be outlined in a document we will send you called Scope of Work.  We take a 50% retainer on the cost of the package up front.  The package will include items like AutoCAD floor plans and elevations (an opt in for 3D renderings as well) all materials and furniture/accessories sourced will be shown.

Presentation

 This is our favourite part!  We have samples out on display and present your Inspiration Package as well as go over any drawings.  This is billed at our hourly rate as well.  This will be approx. 4 weeks after the Scope of Work is signed back.  Tears of joy are common!

Selections

 Now that we all share the same vision for the space, we’ll solidify the selections and specifics that will bring the project to life. This includes millwork, flooring, plumbing, paint, electrical, HVAC, trim and built-ins – the works.

Pricing & Quotes

 We will have a Trade Day at your home in order to prepare pricing and gather quotes from vendors and sub-trades.  This gives us the chance to review all plans and selections with each trade.  We will then put together your Construction Budget and review this with you.   We maintain quality assurance by using reputable contractors and managing the job alongside them.

Create Timeline

 From here, we will create our project timeline, put schedules in place, and collect deposits.

Refinement & Procurement

 Using the product schedule you have approved, we can assist in the procurement of ordering/inspecting/delivering and assembling all product and accessories as well.

Project Management

 Once the contractor is confirmed, it’s time to put our plan into action.   A designer will be at your side through every step of this process.  We will take care of big stuff, little stuff and everything in between.

Final Walk Through

With you, we will take inventory of any additional tweaks or changes to be made until everything is as it should be.
