The Design Consultation
The design consultation is the launching pad for every new project. During this first meeting we will discuss the scope of your project, your goals and your budget. I’ll ask questions to learn about your tastes, your lifestyle, and how you intend to use the space. Please make sure all decision-makers are at this meeting and budget one hour.
During the consultation, we will cover:
1. The scope of your project in detail. This will include all the rooms involved in the project, how you intend to use each room, and your ideas and goals for each space.
2. Your tastes, preferences, likes, dislikes, style and lifestyle. I’ll ask lots of questions and we’ll look at pictures to focus in on your tastes.
3. Budget. It’s best to work out your finances and set an overall budget before you begin the project. If you are unsure about where to begin, I will work with you to determine your goals and set a realistic budget for your space. Design fees are calculated separately from the budget.
4. Design process and letter of agreement. We will review the design process in detail and go over a sample letter of agreement so you know how things will proceed every step of the way.
5. Contact person assigned. If there is more than one decision-making adult in the household, you will assign one to be the contact person for the project. This person will be named in the letter of agreement as having authority to make decisions and sign off on work orders on behalf of both parties. This will also be the person I will have direct contact with and receive direction from during the project. Because it is not always possible to meet with both people at the same time, the contact person will be responsible for communicating any ideas or decisions to his or her partner.
6. Questions or concerns. We will address any questions you might have about Koos Design or about your project.
