Design Process FAQs
How long does the entire design process typically take?
The timeline varies based on project scope and complexity. A single room typically takes 8-10 weeks from consultation to completion, while a full home interior can take 12-16 weeks. The design phase (steps 1-4) usually takes 4-6 weeks, and execution (steps 5-6) takes 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the consultation phase.
Can I make changes during the execution phase?
Yes, changes can be made during execution, though they may impact the timeline and budget. We recommend finalizing all design decisions before execution begins to ensure efficiency. If changes are necessary, we assess the implications and provide a revised timeline and cost estimate for your approval before proceeding.
How involved do I need to be during the process?
Your involvement is most crucial during the consultation, concept development, and design finalization stages. During execution, we handle most details while keeping you informed through regular updates. We typically schedule weekly check-ins and are available for any questions or decisions that require your input. The process is designed to be collaborative without being overwhelming.
What happens if there are delays in the project?
We build buffer time into our schedules to accommodate minor delays. If significant delays occur due to unforeseen circumstances (like material shortages or weather), we immediately communicate the situation, provide a revised timeline, and discuss solutions. Our project management system helps us anticipate potential issues and proactively address them.
Do you provide post-completion support?
Yes, we provide comprehensive post-completion support. This includes a 1-year warranty on workmanship, guidance on maintenance for different materials, and assistance with any issues that may arise. We also offer follow-up consultations for future projects or additions to your space. Our relationship with clients continues beyond project completion.
