Our Interior Design Process
Our interior design services guide you through a comprehensive, step-by-step journey, transforming your initial abstract ideas into a fully realized, buildable design concept for your residential or commercial space. This process culminates in a design environment you'll ultimately occupy, use, and enjoy.

Getting Started
To begin, we'll present a detailed proposal outlining the design fees for your project. Upon your agreement and the signing of a Design Services Agreement, our formal design process will commence.

The first step is a 1-hour Design Meeting with your designer. During this meeting, we'll delve into your vision for the space and explore initial design directions tailored to your project. Following this discussion, precise site measurements will be taken.

The Design Phase
The duration of the design process will vary based on the project's complexity, scale, and the designer's schedule. Once the design concept is fully developed, a 1.5-hour Design Presentation will be scheduled for your review.

During this presentation, you'll have the valuable opportunity to provide feedback and request modifications to the proposed design. At the end of the presentation, you and the designer will formally agree upon the scope of any necessary changes. Your designer will then meticulously incorporate these agreed-upon revisions. We allow for up to two revisions without additional design fees. The interior design work is considered finalized upon completion of these agreed revisions.

Project Completion
Upon completion of the design process, you'll receive a comprehensive Design Package. This package includes a physical copy of all project drawings, 3D renderings, and material selections/specifications produced by your designer. Additional copies can be ordered for an extra cost. This officially concludes our Interior Design Services for your project, and your signed Design Services Agreement will be considered wholly fulfilled.

Design Fees
For reference, design fees for small projects typically start from approximately CAD $1,000, and they go up from there. The final amount is determined by factors such as complexity, scale, and specific client requirements, etc. We highly recommend contacting us directly for a personalized quote.

While we specialize in interior design, it's important to clarify that we do not provide contractor services or manage construction directly, nor are we affiliated with local contractors. Clients are responsible for independently sourcing and appointing a reputable general contractor for the construction phase of their project.

Post-Design Services
To further support our clients, we offer optional Post-Design Services exclusively for projects we've designed. These services are designed to streamline the transition from design to construction and include:

Building Permit Applications: We will apply for necessary building permits on your behalf. Please be aware that permit approval times vary significantly, from a few weeks to several months, and are subject to city processes beyond our control.

Contractor Meetings: We'll attend meetings with your appointed general contractor to review design drawings and selected materials, ensuring clarity and alignment.

Design Coordination: Our team will provide essential design coordination with the assigned Project Manager throughout the construction phase.

Site Visits and Monitoring: We conduct weekly site visits to document progress and monitor that the construction aligns with the approved design concept.

Post-Construction Walk-Through: Upon completion of construction, we'll arrange a 1-hour on-site walk-through with you to review the finished space.

Agreement and Recommendations
Post-Design Services are entirely optional and are separate from our initial Interior Design Services. Should you choose to proceed, a Post-Design Services Agreement will need to be signed, and the hourly-based service fees agreed upon. This must be settled before construction begins, as scheduled by your contractor.

To avoid any potential delays, we highly recommend deciding on Post-Design Services early in the process, ideally at the same time as the initial Interior Design Services Agreement. Please note that we are not responsible for delays caused by client actions related to the Post-Design Services agreement.

Finally, please understand that we are not responsible for the performance or actions of any appointed contractors. Clients also have the option to manage this phase of the project independently if they prefer.
