Step 2: The Creative Phase (Outdoors)

Step 2: Where Vision Meets Paper

Now that we know we’re a good fit, it’s time to get creative. In this video, we walk you through the most exciting part of the early process: The Creative Phase. Watch to discover:

  • The In-Home Consult: How we analyze your space in person.
  • The Creative Session: Experience real-time sketching and collaboration with our design team.
  • The Guarantee: If we don’t earn your business during this phase, there is no charge.

Collaborative Design

Step 2 is where abstract ideas turn into tangible concepts. We believe that you shouldn’t have to commit to a massive contract just to see if we share the same creative vision. That is why we broke this phase into two distinct interactions:

The In-Home Consultation

First, we come to you. We walk your property, take measurements, and discuss the potential of your space.

  • The Goal: To see the canvas we are working with and understand the physical constraints and opportunities of your home.

The Creative Phase

Next, we invite you to our office for a collaborative working session. This isn’t just a presentation; it’s a partnership.

  • Real-Time Sketching: Watch as our designers sketch out solutions while you watch, allowing for instant feedback and adjustments.
  • Budget Reality Check: We don’t just draw pretty pictures; we attach real-world numbers to them. We review the budget based on the sketches to ensure the design is financially feasible.

Our ‘No Risk’ Guarantee

We are confident in our process. If, after the Creative Session, you feel that our vision doesn’t align with yours, there is no charge for the work done so far.
