the SKDS process
the SKDS process + services
-
1- Design Consultation
It all begins with seeing your space and talking through the big picture. Design Consultations are in person or virtual, depending on your location. This one-on-one meeting with Sarah will establish the scope of work for larger projects, client wish lists and how we plan to move forward together. They can also be used as a one-off meeting if you want to discuss your own renovation and decor plans and are looking for Sarah’s insight and advice.

2- Design Drawings (phase one)
Design Drawings are PHASE ONE of the renovation process. Working off the client wish list and scope of work established in the Design Consultation, the team will create full design drawings that clearly communicate the proposed renovation designs through plans and elevations. High level image boards help establish the look, feel and overall styling of the project. PHASE ONE can be billed as a flat rate.
-
3- Construction Drawings (phase two)
PHASE TWO begins once Design Drawings are approved and the client wants to move forward with the work. Working in collaboration with third party Architects and/or Structural Engineers, SKDS keeps up to date Construction Drawings for your General Contractor and all vendors, such as Millworkers and Fabricators. These drawings are ever evolving with “as-built” changes that might come up during the construction process, and provide the answers needed to ensure all details are executed exactly as planned.
