3. How does the design process work with your team, for instance does the client do one design meeting and work with your vendors or pick finishes on their own?
A: At an “initial consultation” with the potential client, a “preliminary budget” is established. That first 30-60 minutes provides an opportunity for our Sales and/or Design Team to assess the clients project, vision, budget, timeframe. If we agree, we then request a “design retainer” for our calculated design hours and set an appointment to begin the process. The clients “vision” is put to paper. Conceptual drawings are created, and the material selection begins. Cabinet drawings created, where applicable, costs and availability established, the project cost careful to respect the agreed budget.
Some design sessions result in the project selections occurring in one day, or over a multiple day multiple appointment session. At the clients home, one or more of our suppliers showrooms, or a combination of all.
4. Do you have a model or design center?
A: We utilize a combination of our sample products, our suppliers locations, online options, and a national design center showroom that allows us to provide the design experience, within in 5 mile radius from each other, while allowing us to keep our overhead low and remain competitively priced.
5. I am a Realtor, does your team honor a 3% commission for client referrals?
A: Our commission structure allows for a REFERRAL REWARD. Projects come from a variety of resources. Digital marketing, advertising, GOOGLE, repeat, 3-peat, and quad-peat customers, and yes referrals.
We encourage, and incentivize our clients, friends and neighbors, family, realtors, colleagues and Team members to actively promote our projects and services and reward a percentage of contract for projects we close.
6. Does your company have a specific niche, style of building?
A: Our licensed designer has the experience necessary to incorporate the style, or personal requirements to the most discerning client.
Recent projects include a personal gym on the back of the home, modifying an existing kitchen on the 15th floor of The Ritz Condominium Association, custom cabinets, modifying others to receive new appliances, and we are under contract to expand the indoor living space into the pool area for an exquisite home on St Armands Circle.
We pride ourselves on competent contracting, reliable planning and execution and a balance of PERFORMANCE • QUALITY • VALUE

And we have long established working relationships with licensed engineers and architects to finalize, or create, the project plans for permitting purposes. A few ongoing projects currently with the latter.

9. Do you have any lots available or does the client need the land selected first?
