Consultation
The initial consultation with a potential client is an opportunity to talk through their project goals and see if their job and our firm will be a good fit. Project scope may be designing a home from the ground up, redesigning a space in the home you live in, updating your exterior for better curb appeal or anything in between. This is where we can discuss your specific needs and how we can approach finding a solution to them.
Design
After analyzing the existing conditions of the project site, SIH will develop conceptual drawings or ideas that combine the clients’ goals with our design aesthetic and schematic approach. Inspiration photos can be helpful in establishing client preferences, but ultimately we will share different concepts to help narrow the desired design approach. Arriving at the right solution sometimes happens quickly, while other times it can involve more back and forth, taking longer.
Construction Drawings
After settling on a design direction with the client, we proceed to a documentation phase that involves more extensive drawings. This is still part of the design process, but more all-encompassing and detailed in its execution. Materials, interior finishes and plumbing/electrical specifications will be a part of this phase. Things considered and determined will specify the design’s details so that permitting may be obtained and a contractor will be able to follow the plan.
