The May long weekend ~ The official start of our Canadian summer! Many of us in Ontario flee the city to country homes or cottages to enjoy an escape from our hectic lives in the city. A comfortable, beautiful, well functioning restful retreat is what we want right?!

We love to work in Collingwood and cottage country. We understand the needs and requirements for working on these properties first hand.

As many of you know Kaitlyn and I both grew up spending summers lakeside in North Kawartha and winters in the Collingwood area. We understand the lifestyle and can easily integrate that knowledge into functional, beautiful, comfortable spaces for you to enjoy!

The Design Phase ~ Last week we went over Trade Da

The Design Phase ~ Last week we went over Trade Day, after Trade Day we begin the design phase.

This is one of the stages in the creative process that we love to do, it’s one of my favourite things about being a Designer. Depending on the size of your project this phase can be anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months!

After gathering all of the information from our clients wants and needs we create our design, starting with drawings and sourcing everything within the scope of the design.

We will wrap up this phase with a full presentation for our clients that includes the drawings, concepts, and a full proposal for every trade and item required for this project including pricing and totals.

It is crucial that this phase is done well in advance of any work that starts. We need to be well prepared for ordering materials/furnishings in advance of any work that starts . This ensures an efficient implementation phase!

Trade Day ~ Last week we talked about the Initial

Trade Day ~ Last week we talked about the Initial Consultation which is our first working appointment for all of our projects. After the design summary / scope of work is solidified, proposal for our hours are presented and contract sent.

Our next step is “Trade Day” which is on-site measurements, photos and final criteria meeting with all trades that will be involved on the project. This meeting can be several hours but ultimately gets everyone involved in the project to come through the home and review their specific scope of work, explore, discuss ideas and enables them to quote on their part of the project.

This one time meeting saves design fees, saves the constant interruption to the client where the designer would bring each trade in individually.

Any renovation or design project involves a multitude of trades and it’s essential that there is an organized and a streamlined process. Please reach out to find out more how we run projects and how we can make your dream a reality.
