The Four Phases of a Project

A project has four distinct phases. Each has certain deliverables and timelines. As busy individuals, we know you will value our processes to keep your project moving forward.

 

PRE-PLANNING

The first step is to reach out to us to complete an intake survey, schedule a discovery call with our team, and meet us for an in home consultation.

Phase 1: Design and Planning

Here is where the magic begins! The heart of your design is created in this first phase. We will craft the perfect schematic plan accounting for function and flow. We will surely surprise you with our ideas as we develop renders, design concepts, and select materials and finishes. At the end of this phase we will produce a detailed set of documents outlining all the drawings and specifications for your project. We will review final materials budgets and get ready to order materials.

This phase includes everything from the initial design concept, sketches and renderings, product selections, final designs and drawings, and signing materials contracts.

Expected timeline: This phase typically takes a minimum of 12 weeks and up to 24 weeks for larger projects, and can vary by client's availability and travel. We are happy to quote a time frame based on your scope.


Phase 2: Permitting and Pre-ConstructiON

Once we complete all the design goodness in Phase 1 it’s time to have the contractor secure permits. This will allow us time to procure all your construction materials such as cabinets, countertops, tiles, lighting, and plumbing.  

Expected timeline: An average of eight to ten weeks, but may vary depending on materials and municipalities.

Phase 3: Construction

Now the fun really begins! This is when the walls get knocked down, cabinets ripped out, floors stripped, and whatever other construction is needed to transform your house!

Expected timeline: Your builder will be able to provide a better idea of your project time frame, but here are averages based on our experience:

  • Average whole residence remodel: 6+ months

  • Average kitchen remodel: 10-14 weeks

  • Average master bathroom remodel: 10-14 weeks

  • Average guest bathroom remodel: 8-10 weeks


Phase 4: Furniture and Styling

As construction is wrapping up, we will schedule install for all your furniture items. Our team will be on site for install day or week and carefully direct our delivery crews for perfect placement of all your items. We will set finishing touches such as hanging draperies, mirrors, and style with accessories. We can’t wait to reveal what we have created for you!
