THE PROCESS
Each project begins with an on site design consultation with Lauren to discuss the objectives and budget, as well as to obtain a sense of the clients style and the way they live. If the objectives and our services are a good fit, we'll prepare a design proposal which will define our scope of work and design fees for the project.
In preparation for the design presentation, measurements of the space to be designed are confirmed, floor and furniture plans are drawn, schemes complete with layouts, furnishings, fabrics, and paint colour options are composed, and a straightforward budget spreadsheet is drafted with line items, expected completion dates, and a projected budget outlay.
At the design presentation, the client provides feedback on design direction and budgeting, and a dialogue begins. Furniture plans, furnishings, fabrics, and paint colours are approved or reworked and design development commences. A project schedule is issued right away and purchase orders are sent to the client as soon as possible in order to move forward. The period between an initial consultation and a project’s completion depends upon the size and scope of the project, and can span anywhere between 2 months to 1 year.
