PHASE 1 - INITIAL CONSULTATION
1-2 hour high level consultation to discuss the scope of work involved in the renovation or new build project. Our goal is to gather enough information to provide a design fee for the project and a range of what you can expect the total project to cost. This time can be used however you'd like. If you need help with items outside of the project, such as picking a paint colour for another room, the time can be used in this manner as well.
PHASE 2 - CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & SITE MEASURE
The goal of this meeting is to understand your design aesthetic by taking a deep dive into your preferences of specific design elements such as colour, lines, texture, patterns, etc. Understanding your aesthetic is achieved through asking a series of questions and showing you visual examples. Inspiration photos from the client are welcome and encouraged at this phase. If the project is a renovation of an existing space, this meeting will take place at the renovation site where we will also measure the spaces to be renovated. If your project is a new construction build or if you have architectural plans please provide them at this time.
PHASE 3 - DESIGN PLANNING & REVISIONS
This phase is where our team works hard behind the scenes to bring your vision to life through CAD drawings, 3D renderings, and mood boards. Upon completion we will present the layout, renderings and finish selections as well as provide any physical samples we are able to obtain. 2 revisions are included in our design fee. It is extremely important to be as specific and definitive as possible with your feedback. Further revisions will be charged on an hourly basis.
PHASE 4 - DESIGN APPROVAL & BIDS
Once you sign off on the design; including layout, hard finishes, and soft finishes, we will send these elements to the contractor of your choice to provide pricing for the cost of labor associated with the renovation. If you don't have a contractor, we can recommend a list of our preferred contractors. While it is our preference to work with our list of contractors, we want you to feel comfortable with who is working in your home and will collaborate with the contractor of your choice.
PHASE 5 - CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & SITE MEASURE
After receiving the estimate from your contractor you now have a full picture of what the project will cost and are able to give final approval to move ahead. During this phase we will resend a packet of all of the products to be ordered with pricing. At this time you will need to sign off and provide payment for these items. We will then go ahead with the execution and provide receipts for all orders.
PHASE 6 - CONSTRUCTION & OVERSIGHT
During this phase we will work closely with your contractor to make sure the design of any renovation work is being executed according to plan. We will make regular site visits, participate in any necessary site meetings and act as a liaison between you and your contractor. Should “surprises” arise, as they often do during renovations, we will be there to troubleshoot and advise you on the best course of action given the situation. The most efficient way to get your questions answered regarding subcontractor timelines and work performance is to contact the contractor directly.
PHASE 7 - INSTALLATION
The day has finally arrived and construction is complete. During this phase we will have your furnishings, rugs, and accessories delivered and installed. We will be there to direct the crew and layer in our finishing touches.
PHASE 8 - PHOTOGRAPHY
At the completion of each project we love to have the opportunity to photograph our work. Each project is special and unique to us and having the opportunity to have us professionally photograph it helps us grow. Depending on the size of the project and timeline of completion we may ask to photograph one space as we go, or shoot all of the completed spaces in one day. We like to be as minimally invasive as possible, but may bring in some items to accessorize and may move existing items around a bit. Don't fret we will always put everything back where we found it.
