Our Collaborative 3-Phase Design Journey

Phase 1: Your Custom Vision & Conceptual Design

This is where we listen. We start by diving deep into your goals, your lifestyle, and how you want your new space to feel and function. We explore inspiration photos and discuss your aesthetic preferences to develop a clear, custom design direction.

Floor Plans & Space Planning: We create detailed layouts to optimize flow and ensure the design works perfectly for your daily life.
3D Renderings: We bring the floor plans to life with realistic visualizations, allowing you to see and feel your custom space before construction begins.

Phase 2: Curated Selections & Finishes

With a layout confirmed, we move to the details that will define your home’s character. We provide a guided, curated experience to make selecting finishes enjoyable and ensure a cohesive, personalized result.

Material Guidance: We help you choose from our network of trusted suppliers for everything from cabinetry to countertops and tile.
Fixtures & Finishes: We assist in selecting plumbing fixtures, lighting, and hardware to create a complete and harmonious design palette that is uniquely yours.

Phase 3: Finalizing Your Custom Blueprint

In the final phase, we consolidate all design decisions into a comprehensive set of construction-ready documents, ensuring every detail of your custom vision is accounted for.

Construction Documents: We finalize all architectural plans and detailed specifications.
Fixed-Price Proposal: We present a transparent, detailed proposal outlining the full scope of work, a fixed price, and a clear project timeline.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to help you understand our process, services, and commitment before starting your WORKs project.

Do I have to pay for the design process separately?

Yes. We formalize this stage with a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA). This allows our team to dedicate the significant resources required to produce detailed plans, 3D renderings, and a fixed-price proposal. This investment in thorough planning is the single best way to ensure your construction phase runs smoothly and without costly surprises.

How much input will I have during the design phase?

You are the most important member of the design team. This entire process is built around collaboration and your vision. From initial layout concepts to the final material selections, we rely on your feedback at every step to ensure the final plan is a perfect reflection of your style and functional needs.

What do we receive at the end of the Design & Planning phase?

You will receive a complete, construction-ready package. This includes finalized architectural plans, a detailed scope of work, a full list of all material and finish selections, a guaranteed fixed-price construction contract, and a comprehensive project timeline. It is the complete roadmap for your project.

Can you work with an architect or interior designer I’ve already hired?
