FOR BUYERS:
Understanding your home and how you live in it is so important!
The planning process is necessary for us to understand your home’s unique elements. We have to look at the infrastructure, environmental and sustainable considerations. Also, what are the special needs for your family. Using the universal design basis, we can assess your needs for your project.
The design process starts with the planning for the functional areas and then allowing for the mechanical items necessary for that space. Providing good access for all people and movement through the space is so important. There will special areas that you want extra consideration for design items. The design team can then figure the best solutions for your space and style of your home.
The install process involves removing all the personal item into another space so they won’t get damaged or lost in the remodeling process. Then the necessary items to be demo’ed will be removed from the space. The structural and functional items will be installed. If staging was part of the agreement, then that process will be the final step.
