How It Works
Design Customization
Our expertise lies in crafting customized architectural designs that exactly align with your unique tastes and vision. The process begins with a comprehensive design consultation. Our consultations follow a structured process consisting of the following key phases:
1. Initial Discussion
As your trusted advisor, we'll first begin by exploring how to best implement your vision. Zoom meetings will be scheduled for us to thoroughly review drawings, explore various concepts, and identify the best design solution that aligns with your objectives.
2. Schematic Design
To ensure a clear and comprehensive understanding of your goals, we will prepare a schematic design for your project. Schematics can include conceptual plans, renderings, and reference imagery.
3. Design Services Proposal
After finalizing your schematic design and establishing a clear plan, a design services proposal will be created. This comprehensive proposal will outline all the necessary details, including a fixed cost and a firm schedule for implementing your customization.
