Design Consultation Description: “What am I paying for? “

Design Consultations clarify to our clients what they want to do. The client presents the areas that they need to work on and budgets to cover project expenses. We speak about design ideas (verbal), we walk through the space, speak about our services and processes.

What to expect after the design consultation?

• a project design fee proposal within one week of our visit
• follow up emails/calls

What we do not provide during design consultation:

• construction cost proposal (We cannot assume the construction cost proposal without drawings)

Construction Consultation Description: “What am I paying for? “

• Construction consultations are needed only for these individuals who already have a set of drawings in hand
• If you would like to set up a consultation for the contractor to look at your space and drawings you should choose construction consultation
• If you would like to meet the contractor and provide you with a “ballpark” estimate to see how much money you need to budget +/-, construction consultation is the right pick

What we do not provide during construction consultation:

• Written construction cost proposal (If you need a written cost proposal for construction services, we would be happy to put together fees for pre-construction services. It is beneficial for our clients to order pre-construction contractor’s assistance to make sure the design comes on budget) Please call us about specifics.

Design/Build Consultation Description:

Some people like the idea of having one party to produce drawings and construction services.

If you are looking for combined services the design/build consultation is the right kind for you. You will receive the assistance described in both design and construction consultation above.

Feasibility Study:

If your project means expansion of the existing footprint, or you need a new building design it is necessary to order a feasibility study before we arrive at your site. We will provide you with a research about your property described in the link below:
