How We Work
Website Questionnaire:
To provide each client with a customized experience, we ask that you complete the Website Discovery Questionnaire. This questionnaire allows us to learn if the project aligns with our expertise while also allowing us to leverage our skills and knowledge to benefit the client.
Discovery Call:
The website questionnaire will be followed up with a phone or online meeting. This meeting will allow us to get to know you better and see if we are aligned on your project goals, investment parameters, and vision so that we can deliver a result that exceeds your expectations.
Strategic Planning Phase:
This is the project's initial phase and includes a site visit for an in-person review of the scope of work. We discover more about your expectations and design ambitions for the project and finalize your timeline and budget, allowing us to build a detailed design plan based on your requirements and preferences. During the site visit, I will provide suggestions and ideas of possibilities for your home. This conversation takes approximately two hours, and the investment fee is $750.00. Once we decide to move forward, this fee is deducted from the engagement fee.
Concept Development Phase:
This begins our engagement in the creative process. During this phase, spaces are thoughtfully planned out with options based on our conversations and your design preferences. Furniture layouts are prepared, architectural layouts are created for your property, and we begin to investigate finishes, design styles, and influences. A "TRADE DAY' is scheduled with all involved contractors & vendors, i.e., builders, window treatment installers, wallpaper hangers, electricians, etc., to review the scope and answer any questions prior to renovation.
Design Development Phase:
Design concepts and ideas for your project are presented during this phase. We will also present drawings and see images of completed spaces with similar ideas for reference. Materials and finishes, as well as furniture, fabrics, and lighting options, are presented for review and approval. Once you have selected these items, we will create a full proposal for final approval.
Procurement Phase:
After final approval of all items, you will be invoiced for all approved materials, and once payment is received, all purchase orders will be placed with vendors. It is imperative that final decisions are made in a timely manner since industry lead times will vary. Your items will be delivered to a warehouse receiver over time, and they will be inspected for damage or errors prior to delivery and installation.
Construction Maintenance & Administration Phase:
While the procurement is taking place, we will work closely with the contractors and sub-contractors to successfully implement our design. We will be on-site periodically for walk-throughs or during the installation of key elements requiring direction, such as tile layout, lighting placement, flooring, and wall coverings.
Installation Phase:
The installation is the final event in the design process. All furniture, lighting, accessories, and art are delivered via White Glove delivery from the warehouse and placed in the proper location. To provide you with a luxury experience, we respectfully require that clients NOT be present during installation day(s) and allow us the time to complete the project fully. If necessary, day activities, hotel, or other arrangements will be made at our expense for your convenience. Please note if owners are present or the installation is interrupted for more than 30 minutes, a service charge of between $3,000-$5,000 will be assessed, and the installation will cease and be rescheduled.
