Given that most people do only one major home improvement project in their lifetime, there are often a lot of questions surrounding the design and construction process.

But the questions and answers are not the same for everyone - it depends on where you are in your due diligence process. In our experience, we've found people fall into one of three groups and are seeking answers unique to their situation.

The Three Groups
1. Tire Kicking - general information on how things work
2. Drilling Down - project-specific information
3. Ready to Hire - information on selecting a design partner 

To help you better identify relevant information, we've used these three groups to organize various resources.

General Information

Or, stated another way, how things work.

​The design and construction processes are foreign to most people, and, as a result, questions abound. This section covers the most commonly asked questions we get from people early on in their due diligence process.

Project-Specific Information

Every residential design project is different - there is no straight chalk line to follow. Figuring out the specifics of your project, such as what can be done, how things are done, and how much things cost are the most important questions to address as you refine your project planning.
