THE DESIGN PROCESS FOR REMODELING

THESE ARE THE STEPS WE FOLLOW TO REACH FINAL DESIGN AND PERMIT DRAWINGS

A. PHONE OR EMAIL INTERVIEW   (503-761-8300)   jbhammer@comcast.net

B. BEGIN THE DESIGN PROCESS. (Note: The number of Design Meetings will vary depending on complexity and size of the  project.)

1) Design Meeting One: Clients share ideas with Designer and Designer creates Phase One Design(s).  This meeting usually takes place when signing an agreement and measuring the house.

2) Design Meeting Two: Clients review Phase One Design(s).  After clients critique, correct and revise Phase One Design(s), Designer develops Phase Two Design(s).  (Client is allowed one week for for review if needed.)

3) Design Meeting Three: Clients review Phase Two Design(s). After clients critique, correct and revise Phase Two Design(s), Designer creates Final Design. (Client is allowed one week for for review if needed.)

4) Design Meeting Four: Clients review and make corrections on Final Design and approve with signature.   After the Final Design is approved, Designer prepares Permit Drawings.  (Corrections allowed to Final Design are cosmetic changes).

NOTE: ALL MEETINGS AFTER DESIGN MEETING ONE CAN TAKE PLACE IN THE DESIGNERS OFFICE OR BY EMAIL AT CLIENT'S PREFERENCE.

 

INFORMATION NEEDED AT DESIGN MEETING ONE

1) Client ideas or copies of floor plans, elevations, clippings, photos or sketches that contribute to interior and exterior design concept.

2) Available site information, such as legal description, zoning and CC&R's.  Survey with coordinates and topography if necessary and available.
