The Creative Process
What it's like to work with us
Timeline
Day 1
Initial Phone Call
The first step in the process is to sign up for a free 15 minute “ask the expert” phone call. During this call we will get to know you and ask a series of questions to determine if your home is a good candidate based on several key factors.
Week 1-4
Feasibility Study
We will get to know you and your family, the site and the goals you have for your home. This information helps us conceptualize the scope of work. From this, we will put together a high-level budget. This will allow you to fully understand the requirements and constraints moving forward. The Needs and options delivery includes the sketch and high level budget (a la carte components of your specific goals). This process is a paid service. The Needs and Options report is YOURS TO KEEP.
Week 4-6
Programming
We work to understand what style of home best fits your personal preferences, neighborhood and the scale of the homes around you (context, vernacular, style, colors/materials).
Week 6-10
Design Development
We will further refine the design of your second-story addition and amenities.
Week 8-12
Bidding / Value Engineering
Receive estimates for construction from local construction teams. Meet with pre-vetted Contactor’s. Discuss cost and value.
Week 12-18
