Process & Services

We made the process of getting your home designed a simple process, we will make sure you understand each phase of your project, and answer any questions you have about getting your dream renovation or full new build designed.

How it works

The Process

The process is based on the full package, but you are able to use any one of our services if you don't want the entire package! If you only need a permit package, that's not a problem! We've got you more then covered.

Initial Meeting

To discuss what services you're looking into, from renovations to new builds, we will plan out your dream renovation.

Home Measurement

If you pre-paid your retainer, we can begin the design! First we start by measuring your house so we can begin planning the floor layouts, and we will need this information for the permit package that your contractor will use.

2D Floor Layout & 3D Renderings

We use our expertise to give you the ultimate floor layout of your dreams. We can make several changes in this stage until you are happy with the finalized layout. Once that's complete, you are able to purchase 3D renderings to view what the space will look like.

Pricing Estimate

We work with your contractors to get a pricing estimate on your renovation. By doing this we can get a clear idea of how much your renovation will cost, and if you're over budget we will re-design!

Permit Package

Once all the designs are finalized we begin the permit package that your contractor will use to build your renovation! The permit package is extremely important to get exactly what you want and saves you money down the road.
