Design Process
The design phase is broken down in smaller, more manageable decisions:

- Start by collecting photographs of ideas and items you would like to incorporate into your home.
- We then design the room concentrating on functionality while keeping the finished look and feel in mind.
- Formulate a materials budget. Once a preliminary design is decided upon, it's time to get bids from General Contractors to determine a total job cost. (The tasks above are typical of an initial design agreement.)

- At this point the countertop materials (such as granite) are selected and reserved; we are now building the color palette for the room.
- Shop for cabinetry and select a doorstyle and finish color.
- Sinks, faucets and fixtures are now decided upon and purchased.
- It's now time to revisit the room design, revise as needed and purchase cabinetry.
- All plans and product specifications are assembled into one comprehensive project binder that all contractors and craftsman work from.
- Once all products have been delivered to your home, it's time to start the construction phase of the project.
We can also assist you with Kitchen and Bath design that is useable by people of varied physical abilities.
