My 15 Steps from Before to After
1 - Discussion and Assessment.
I invite you to tell me what you want. I ask a series of questions and listen carefully to understand your style, objectives and budget.
2- Engagement of Services.
A written agreement is completed and with your permission I place a small sign on your lawn. I further access the space and take inventory of items to stay.
3 - Design Floor Plan.
I design a floor plan for you. The design provides for your objectives, traffic flow and focal points in your room.
4 - Review of Plan.
Together we review what the space will look like and how it will function once completed.
5 - Walk-Through and Approval.
We walk through the space and discuss it. On your approval, I develop the conceptual plans, including sketches to illustrate design concepts.
6 - Material and Finishes.
I select the materials and finishes that best represent your preferred look.
7 - Furniture, Fixtures and Millwork Selection.
I select these to maintain the design direction in the space and present them to you for your approval.
8 - Instruction to Trades.
I provide detail drawings to the trades to facilitate pricing, construction, installation and electrical requirements.
9 - Compliance and Review.
I review the construction documents, including plans, elevations, details and specifications, to ensure compliance with the design direction.
10 - Project Management.
I manage schedules for the work to complete the project and interface with other professionals for you including architects, engineers and trades.
11 - Review of Bids.
I help you review bids and negotiate pricing to ensure adhesion to budget and design.
12 - Purchase Furniture and Fixtures.
I co-ordinate the purchase of the selected furniture, lighting and fixtures.
13 - Site Supervision.
I supervise installation of the furniture, lighting and fixtures.
14 - Final Dressing.
I complete the project with a final dressing of the space. This includes final touches such as wall décor, placement of pictures and use of accessories.
15 - Client Satisfaction Survey.
My goal is to exceed your expectations. Please complete my brief survey. I welcome and value your comments.
