Request a Visit

Thank you for your interest. We will go over your vision for the space and discuss a variety of topics. Most of the time we can get a good feeling for the layout and do a quick sketch and collaborative design during the intial zoom meeting, but sometimes we need a site visit. You can read more about our process here, and you can find some additional information on typical job costs for kitchens, bathrooms and other projects here.

Please fill out this form and we will contact you within the next 1-2 days so we can set a time in the next few weeks for one of us to meet with you. 

Zoom meetings are the most efficient first meeting as the designers can sketch the project on the computer in real-time. Then following the initial meeting, I review the sketch and look up projects that are similar in scope to send a ballpark estimate. Be sure to let the designer know if you are "budgeting to a design" or "designing to a budget" this way, if you are "designing to a budget," they can help try to draw a scope of work that is around the budgeted number. At this point, it is not an estimate/quote, as we can't estimate without selecting the materials; it is just a ballpark figure to go off of to make sure your budget lines up in the range of similar projects we have done in the past. I tend to follow up within a day.

After this first meeting if you are comfortable proceeding, we will schedule an onsite meeting to start the design process. During the second meeting, I take detailed measurements and update the sketch so it is a drawing we can use for designing and building. The Design Fee is 1.5% of the projected cost established during the first meeting, which covers the entire design process, is usually paid at the end of this first Design Meeting once we are both comfortable. During the meeting, I'll assess the space to confirm the initial cost estimate and ensure we're a good fit. If either of us feels uncomfortable, we won't proceed with the Design Agreement. I'll use a 3D scanner to take measurements, so we ask people only to schedule this 2nd meeting if they are relatively confident about proceeding. But it's okay to back out if either of us feels uncomfortable with something during the meeting.

The Design phase tends to take a month or more and we will work with you to determine all the materials needed to provide a detailed estimate. At the end of the design phase, we present you with construction-ready drawings and a fixed-price construction contract.
