Home Design
Our exceptional in house designers and project coordinators will initially meet with you to gather the scope of work. From here, a design fee proposal is produced and we will meet with you to go over the required design phases/ process for your project. From here we work closely to design your custom home or renovation while considering your desires, design aesthetic and function, and budget.
Specification Development
This is where your design will stand out from others! In this phase we will work with you to really personalize your project by viewing and selecting all specifications including plumbing and electrical fixtures, millwork, finish carpentry details and more. A drawing set will be finalized for the next phase.
Budget & Schedule Development
A budget is developed based off of the completed construction drawings and approved specifications. At this time, any revisions will be made to your drawing set to accommodate your final construction cost, as well as scheduling your project start date.
