The multitude of selections to be made from the word \u2018go\u2019 can be overwhelming, and the timeliness of those decisions is what will keep your build on track. Working with us through the initial phase of the construction ensures a cohesive design both inside and out, making your exterior view an extension of your interior spaces.<\/p>\n

As your design concierge, we will work with you in reviewing construction documents to make sure that every detail of your new home fits the needs of your family. We will discuss interior room layouts to to verify\u00a0that furniture and built-in features can be accommodated. After meeting with you, we will\u00a0convey these ideas and adjustments to the architect in a concise manner through drawings, meeting notes, and conferencing. These changes will\u00a0then be reflected in your set of plans, leading to less change-orders, and therefore fewer additional costs.<\/p>\n

We will take the time to design a thorough lighting plan, including fixture types and placement, and switch locations. These are the details that are easily overlooked by\u00a0homeowners in the initial planning phase with their architect. Again, the more concise a plan we can develop before your home goes to potential\u00a0builders, the more accurate your bids will be.<\/p>\n
