We always start with a budget first then we break it down so we know how much we can spend in each room. I.E. $750 for backsplash in kitchen, $20 yd. for carpet etc.
See our article on budgets on this site.
We talk about what they want the home to feel like when done, I.E. contemporary, rustic elegance and so on.
We talk about flow & function and many other questions to help us understand what they want the finished product to look like.
Then when everyone is comfortable we start the selection process with the client.
On completion the customer signs off on the selection sheets. (No mistakes like I didn't pick the tile or something)
Then we have professional installers to install the products within your schedule.
We are very sensitive to the builders schedule (See our contractor video on this page) comment by Eric Brown
