How soon should I involve a designer in my project?

 

As designers we consider all factors.  It is important that your space is high functioning and aesthetically pleasing.  In order to ensure that you achieve this balance it is recommended to involve a designer before any decisions have been made.  We will create a plan that takes you through the process step-by-step and often we are able to make suggestions that you may not have thought to consider.

Help!  My builder is asking me so many questions!  How can a designer help with new construction?

 

A designer will create a plan for you so that all of these questions have been answered before your builder even asks!  You will receive a comprehensive design guide that has everything from space planning, and detailed drawings of built-ins to flooring and paint colors.  When all of these decisions are made in advance all you need to do is turn the information over to your builder and allow them to order materials.  This creates a streamlined process and eliminates major delays in construction.
