Consultations

A consultation will provide you with an expert opinion without the expense of a full contract. Sometimes people need advice on cost or design to decide if they even want to or can afford to start the project. That is why we offer customized consultations in all of our service areas.

We will come to you and provide the services you need to help you make your decision(s). A typical consultation will run from 2-4 hours and will explore the aesthetics and costs of your potential project. Using our years of expertise we will establish your goals, discuss the challenges specific to your project, form cost estimations and discuss a realistic schedule in moving forward. On larger projects we will discuss broader changes to be implemented whereas on a smaller project we may actually figure out very detailed specifics.

At the end of the consultation the client will have design advice, budgeting advice and an idea of what to expect when they proceed with the project. Some clients choose to stop there while others will go on to fully implement the changes. Additional services could include schematic drawings, sketches and perspective views of the space to better aid in seeing the end result. For larger projects, the next step would be to develop a full Architectural proposal for the project.

Examples of small project consultations performed include advice for opening up a floor plan in an older home, moving structural walls and picking options, colors and materials for interior renovations. Larger project examples would be looking at whole house renovations, exterior facade updates, site feasibility studies and large project cost estimations.

A standard consultation is $275. This fee is credited back should you go on to do a larger project with us.
