Our Process
Embarking on a remodel or building a new home can be overwhelming; our clear-cut process will help guide you through each phase.
1. Inquiry & Proposal
We discuss the scope of your project, and then provide you with a proposal based on our hourly rates and the services you request.
3. Schematic Design
We have a pre-design meeting with you to confirm your design goals, review inspiration photos, and discuss potential directions for the designs. From there, we get started with the design work, creating schematic floor plans/designs based on what’s included in your proposal and scope of work.
5. Permit & Construction Documents
We develop the design into a set of detailed plans to submit to the local jurisdiction for the required permits. The plans continue to be developed with code information, elevations, and construction details.
7. Construction Observation
We can help facilitate decisions on changes that need to be made during construction by attending weekly or bi-weekly meetings with you and the contractor. This phase can also include framing review, changes requested by client, and punch list to completion.
2. Programming & Site Analysis
The H2D team comes out to measure the as-builts of the existing house. We then research zoning laws and building codes in your jurisdiction, and schedule a survey of the site if needed.
4. Design Development
After you approve moving forward with one of the schematic plans, we develop the plans and iterate them as needed to get to a final design that meets all of your needs and objectives. Meanwhile, we begin engaging structural engineers, and share the initial plans with any builders you’d like to bid the project.
6. Interior Design
H2D’s in-house interior designer will work with you through the interior design process simultaneously. Components of our interior design packages include interior elevations, 3d renderings, electrical plans, colorboards, sourcing fixtures and finishes, exterior paint/siding layouts, and documenting selections.
