Depending on the scope of the project, a $1000 or 2% of the customer budget is collected as a design retainer and work begins on design.

DESIGNS
A design will be assigned to your project and begin designing your remodeling dream. Preliminary drawings are done and discuss of the drawing. Modifications are made until a plan that balances design, budget and program is created.

PRICING
Subcontractors who would work on the project (electricians, plumbers, HVAC) walk through the project site to create an accurate bid of the cost to do their work.

PRESENTATION OF FINAL COSTS
The final design and costs are presented to the customer.
