Key Contributors On Your Home Remodeling Project

Our design consultants engage with homeowners through discovery and design phases to create a detailed vision for your home. They are your first main point of contact at the start of your project. They’ll show you plans and renderings, working directly with you to make architectural decisions, select all project materials, and discuss what’s possible.

They work with the design associate, building design specialist, and project manager to ensure the design can be achieved within  your home’s current or potential structure and your budget. You’ll be presented with a detailed scope and budget to execute the project, resulting in a contract to move forward. The Design Consultant will be your main point of contact until construction begins and will be available as needed throughout the project.

Design Associate

Our design associates help select and source the materials for your project and develop the project budget. They keep a sharp eye on the timelines for the order and delivery of materials, create 3D renderings based on the Designer’s architectural plans and product selections, and organize the project documents for the design and contract phases.

Building design specialists determine the feasibility and scope of your project, identifying the most cost-effective approach to architectural or engineering changes. It’s also their job to incorporate health, safety, and environmentally conscious factors in the design.

Vendors

Our vendors are trusted manufacturers, suppliers, and dealers of project materials such as appliances, cabinets, flooring, tile, countertops, plumbing, and electrical fixtures. We have access to a long list of high-quality vendors no matter your style or needs, and our vendors are expected to keep our design and production staff up-to-date on all order and delivery timelines.
