This consultation serves as an opportunity for us to determine if we’re the right fit for your project. If we both agree to move forward, we’ll schedule a 60-minute, in-person $350 consultation where we explore your vision further. Following this, we’ll utilize the insights gathered to create detailed 3D renderings that bring your ideas to life. Once you’re satisfied with the designs, we’ll invite you to our studio to handpick materials and finalize pricing. Upon reaching an agreement, we’ll proceed to sign the contract, marking the official commencement of our collaborative journey towards realizing your dream space.

Upon payment, our process typically spans a timeframe of 6-9 months from start to finish. However, it’s important to note that the actual disruption to your home is typically confined to a shorter period, typically ranging from 3-6 weeks. This timeframe may vary depending on the scale and complexity of your project, ensuring minimal disruption while achieving exceptional results tailored to your needs.
Communication is fundamental to our process, as we prioritize understanding your preferences and lifestyle needs to tailor a custom design experience. While platforms like Pinterest offer valuable inspiration for design elements and color palettes, we emphasize customization that aligns with the unique architectural aspects of your home. By engaging in meaningful conversations, we ensure that your vision is translated into a personalized design that reflects your individual style and enhances your living space.
When discussing the scope of your project, we delve into the intricacies, including architectural planning considerations. It’s essential to evaluate factors such as the potential removal of load-bearing walls and whether expert consultation is necessary. As a guideline, the cost of your kitchen renovation typically ranges from 25-30% of your home’s overall value. These discussions ensure that we meticulously plan every aspect of your project, from structural adjustments to budget allocation, to achieve exceptional results tailored to your needs.
I have established relationships with preferred suppliers, which allows for seamless coordination and ensures quality standards are met throughout your project. However, I’m also open to collaborating with any suppliers you prefer, provided they meet our stringent quality criteria. Our goal is to facilitate a successful installation process that minimizes stress and maximizes the desired outcome, regardless of the supplier involved.
Effective communication is key throughout the project journey. We navigate each decision methodically, acknowledging that unforeseen challenges may arise, such as hidden elements within walls. In response, we pivot swiftly and rectify any issues to ensure the seamless progress of your project. Rest assured, I am fully committed to the success of your project and will work tirelessly to achieve your desired outcome.
Absolutely, we offer comprehensive project management services to ensure a smooth and efficient implementation phase.
