Working with Elizabeth

I follow a set procedure to help my clients navigate through all the thoughts, ideas, decisions and desired outcomes that are the process of design. Whether it is for a kitchen, a bathroom, a whole house design, a decorating project, or looking at feng Shui principles in home design

In a nutshell this means that

• We start with a discovery call to establish a potential working relationship, to understand your needs and to see if we are a good fit. It is a free phone consultation and the important starting point so I can get an idea of your design project and you have the opportunity to check me out too and decide if we think we could work well together. We discuss your dream and your needs for the outcome of the project. I can then direct you to the best way forward and what design procedure would work best for you.

After that we go through the process of design, time honoured tried and true format for all things design. This will become clearer as we go, after the initial consultation.

• initial consultation - site visit with site survey and a start on finding some initial design concept solutions.

• design development - where we try one or several ideas, drawn so you can see how each idea works and have time to think through your preference. Then we select all that is required in materials, finishes and fittings to fulfil that design.

• design documentation and drawings - when the right design solution has been established and all selections are made, then the required paperwork is prepared to make it happen.

• construction phase
