WILL I FEEL PRESSURED DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS? HOW DO YOU PUT YOUR CLIENTS AT EASE?
We pride ourselves on being highly communicative with our clients. We know the home build process can be incredibly stressful, and we want to minimize that stress in any way we can. We help our clients create a space that works for them and their family, not that conforms to any specific style or trend. We guide our clients in a direction they are comfortable with. Additionally, we believe in respecting the client's budget. Providing us with a clear budget up front provides a framework for our designs.
HOW DO YOU TYPICALLY COMMUNICATE?
Based on years of experience, we have several best practices when it comes to communication. This includes creating a shared Design File, to gather and discuss concepts, Room Boards, to review specific products and furnishings for each room, in-person on-site meetings, email, and phone communication. Clients are provided with regular updates on the procurement and logistics of furnishings purchased.
