Our Client Fit Process
Because every project receives focused creative attention, we selectively accept projects aligned with our expertise, timelines, and working style. Our process is designed to ensure strong alignment before any project begins.
01. Design Questionnaire
All projects begin with a Design Questionnaire. This helps us understand:
Property type and location
Details of rooms/spaces
Project goals and intended market
Design expectations and aesthetic direction
Estimated investment range
Timeline readiness
Decision-making structure
Answers to the Design Questionnaire are reviewed before scheduling any consultation or strategy session.
At this stage, we determine whether the project aligns with our current capacity, expertise, and creative direction.
We prioritize clients who value thoughtful design, efficient communication, and long-term property positioning over rushed or purely price-driven decisions.
02. Paid Design Strategy Session
This session is intended for serious project planning and may include:
Property evaluation
Design direction assessment
Guest or buyer positioning
Space optimization recommendations
Visual and branding direction
Scope alignment and feasibility discussion
This ensures all creative and strategic discussions are intentional, structured, and actionable.
03. Proposal & Project Alignment
Following the strategy session, qualified clients receive a tailored proposal outlining:
Recommended service scope
Estimated timeline
Investment range
Deliverables
Collaboration structure
Projects move forward only after:
Scope approval
Signed agreement
Initial retainer payment
This allows the project to begin with clear expectations, aligned communication, and defined objectives.
04. Design Development
Once onboarding is complete, the creative process begins. Depending on the selected scope, project development may include:
Space planning
Mood boards and concept direction
Material and furnishing specifications
Photorealistic visualizations
Listing-focused styling recommendations
Brand-aligned visual systems
Each phase is intentionally structured to maintain clarity, efficiency, and strong creative direction.
05. Final Delivery & Implementation
Final deliverables are organized into a streamlined digital handover package for implementation. Depending on project scope, this may include:
Architectural Blueprints
Structural Blueprints
Electrical Blueprints
Plumbing Blueprints
Mechanical Blueprints
Design Presentation Boards
Rendered Perspectives
Listing-ready Visual Assets
General Construction (for selected local clients only)
Implementation guidance may also be provided remotely depending on project requirements.
