Our Process

  • Pre- Design / Planning

    The process involves interviewing the client to understand their needs and constraints, analyzing the site, developing a program of required spaces, and aligning the project scope with the budget.

  • Design Development

    The design development stage involves refining and finalizing the design concept. During this phase, designers focus on selecting materials, finishes, furniture, and fixtures, ensuring they align with the overall vision. Detailed plans and drawings are created to guide construction and installation.

  • Project Management

    The project management phase of interior design involves organizing and overseeing the entire design process. This includes setting timelines, managing budgets, coordinating with contractors and suppliers, and ensuring the design vision is executed as planned. We address any issues to keep the project on track and exceed client expectations.

  • Offboarding

    The offboarding process ensures a smooth project transition for clients, involving a final walkthrough to meet expectations, resolving outstanding issues, and providing a handover package with maintenance instructions, warranties, and contact information.

FAQs

What type of training and certifications do you have?

Samantha holds a degree in interior design and is an active member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). With over a decade of experience, she possesses the expertise to specify high-quality products and materials while also crafting aesthetically pleasing spaces tailored to each client’s unique preferences.

Earl has been immersed in the home construction industry since the age of 14 and has previously worked as a contractor. His extensive knowledge of quality construction is complemented by a keen eye for detail, particularly in interior finish work.

What kind of construction do you specialize in?

We specialize primarily in residential design, encompassing both new construction and renovations. If we are to be completely candid, we particularly excel in residential renovations.

If you previously worked as a contractor, why not have your own design-build construction company?

We are committed to leveraging our strengths. While we possess the capability to operate as a design-build construction company, we prefer to concentrate on assisting other contractors in areas of home building that are often less favored. By alleviating the burden of managing every aspect of a project, contractors can dedicate more time to aspects they genuinely enjoy, as well as to spending quality moments with friends and family. Additionally, we take great satisfaction in and excel at these specific areas of construction, which makes our work even more rewarding.

What is your service area?

We service the southern area of Tennessee such as Triune, Murphysboro, Shelbyville, Franklin, Chapel Hill, ect.

Can I buy my own materials?

If you could share the names of the subcontractors you collaborate with, such as your plumber or electrician, we will ensure they receive the specified products. While we offer our own lines of cabinets, these must be purchased directly through us. We have conducted extensive research on these quality brands, and we are deeply committed to maintaining high standards in our offerings.
