How we work
A transparent sequence from first conversation to construction documentation. Timelines vary by property size, permit requirements, and your decision cadence.
Phase 1 — Discovery and feasibility
We review your goals, budget range, and schedule. For commercial interior design work, we also map stakeholder review points (facilities, IT, brand). Deliverables may include a written summary of constraints and a proposed scope outline. No design concepts are promised at this stage until measurements and access are understood.
Phase 2 — Site information
Measurements and photos
Accurate as-built information underpins interior design USA projects whether local or remote. We accept architect-supplied CAD files when available; otherwise we coordinate a field survey or guide your team through a photo-measure protocol.
Phase 3 — Concept and space planning
We explore two or more layout directions where appropriate, test furniture clearances, and align circulation with code-related notes your licensed professionals can validate. Visuals are intentionally restrained—intended to support decisions, not to market unfinished work.
Phase 4 — Design development
Finishes, fixtures, and lighting
Renovation design services expand into schedules: plumbing fixture models, tile layouts, switch locations, and reflected ceiling plans as required. We track lead times for long-order items and flag substitutions early if supply chains shift.
Phase 5 — Construction documentation
We consolidate approved selections into a package suitable for pricing and installation. Revisions after tender may incur additional time; changes are logged with version dates.
Phase 6 — Site support
Optional meetings or virtual calls to interpret drawings for trades. We do not direct workers on sequencing or safety—those duties belong to licensed contractors. Home styling solutions may follow substantial completion if included in your scope.
Meetings and file handoff
Typical review cadence is biweekly during active design, moving to weekly near deadlines if agreed in writing. Files are delivered as PDF and, when applicable, shared links to structured specification spreadsheets.
