As the quote goes, a picture says a thousand words. Can you image what a whole concept board, finish schedule, and floor plan would say? In my experience, a complete design package is worth its weight in gold - the more detail the better. Below are examples of design documents that you can expect to see included in your project documents. 

Floor Plans & Elevations

These 2-dimensional drawings are the road map to a final design solution. From furniture layouts to full cabinetry designs, your AutoCAD drawings will provide a lot of information in a single glance. 

Concept Boards

Every great journey begins with a destination in mind. Concept Boards are a mainstay of all my design projects. They include a combination of inspiration images, sketches, finishes, selected lighting, and future furniture and accessories. ​Your concept boards will allow us to design the feel of the space before knocking down any walls, lifting a paint brush, or spending a ton of money.  

Sketches & Renderings

I am still waiting on the technology that allows people see right inside my head and know exactly what I am envisioning. Until then, I find a quick sketch is the best way to really give my clients a sense of the space. Don't you just feel you can walk right into that kitchen? Then add a splash of color matching our selected finishes and, pow, there is your design come to life. 

Action Plan and Specifications

The devil is in the details and boy do I love details. Here are some examples of what could be included on your project. An Action Plan lists the scope of work for an entire home especially if it is not all construction related. You use an Action Plan like a design check-off sheet to tackle the project one task at a time. A full design plan is not complete without the supporting specification documents that explain in detail the finishes, fixtures, and lighting for each room. Specifications are the documents the contractors and trades-people will use primarily to complete the job as designed.
