Five steps, about four minutes

Tell us about the house

This brief asks what we would ask on the phone. Answer it and the walk-through starts from a much more useful place than what colour would you like the kitchen.

Bright and empty modern room with hardwood floors and large window view.

Consultation brief

Step 1 of 5

What are you planning?

Pick the closest. Nothing here is binding.

What band are you working to?

Bands, not numbers. If you do not have one yet, say so and we will give you one after the walk-through.

When would you like to start?

Design runs ten to sixteen weeks and permit review adds six to twenty, so a spring start means a conversation now.

Will you stay in the house?
Photographs help more than anything

You can bring these to the walk-through instead. This demo does not upload anything, but the list is the real one we ask for.

  • Rooms as they are nowOne wide shot per room. Phone photos are fine.
  • Crawlspace or basementEspecially anything under the wall you want to remove.
  • The electrical panelDoor open, so we can read the amperage and the breaker count.
  • Plans or permitsAny old drawings, permit cards or a county record card.
How do we reach you?

One working day, with two proposed times for the walk-through.
