Before and after...

1. The first step is to schedule an appointment at our office. At this first meeting we will discuss the type of project being considered, a preliminary feasibility analysis, a discussion of how our process works, and a basic budget estimate along with a quotation for design services. To this point, there is no financial obligation on your part, but is rather, still considered part of your selection process.

2. The next step starts when you decide to go ahead with the design. You will be asked to enter into a contractual agreement for completion of the design phase of the project. The fees for such work vary from a few hundred dollars to as much as 10% of the project's value. This part of the relationship with Stevenson Design Works is documented so that there is a clear understanding as to what design work is to be performed and what the ultimate cost will be. At this point, we are ready to begin actual plans and specifications of your project. At the end of this stage, you will have completed plan specifications and a realistic budget estimate to complete the work on your project.
