Frequently Asked Questions

This is a collaborative process, and we’ll refine ideas together throughout the day to ensure you’re thrilled with the result.

Not at all! I’ll guide you through different possibilities based on your needs and preferences

This process results in concept sketches to guide your project. A builder may be able to give you an estimate based on these but you would need detailed architectural documentation, engineering drawings and appovals before a builder could be engaged.

You will leave with a solid design direction and guidelines regarding the next steps, but if you want further refinements, we can discuss options for additional support
