One-Time Consultation
(out of service area)

During these in-home consultations, we discuss your problem areas, possible solutions and provide guidance by teaching homeowners the approach we take to designing a space (hint: it doesn't start with Pinterest). We provide up to 90 minutes in your home for this meeting. We spend approximately one hour to follow up with a meeting report to include a summary of our discussion, the proposed scope of work for ongoing services, and proposed design fee.

Scheduling of this appointment indicates acceptance of the terms below.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

SERVICES PROVIDED

The one-time consultation includes one site visit to the Owner’s home at the location specified in the intake form to include the following on a priority basis as time permits:

  • Designer will walk through the space briefly with the Owner and listen to the design challenges.

  • Upon viewing the full home/space of interest, we will evaluate the problem areas in order of client priority.

  • Designer will review Owner-provided finishes as needed and advise.

  • Color consulting services as is possible during the 90-minute timeframe. If this consult is purely color consulting, the design brief will be substituted with color selections to include sheen and placement.

  • Within 7-10 business days, the designer will follow up with a design brief that covers the solutions developed on-site. This brief will include a proposal for ongoing services as-needed.

DESIGNER AND CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

The Designer shall provide Interior and Architectural Design Consulting services for the Project as described in this agreement on a time-limited basis. The Designer will work through this meeting to keep the Owner on track so that time may be used efficiently and priority areas considered thoroughly.

The Owner will walk through the space prior to the meeting and develop a list of goals, questions, and problem areas with any decision-makers. This list shall be prioritized, allowing the Designer to provide the highest priority services first due to the limited time available.

CONSULTING EXPECTATIONS

It is understood that a design consultation is not a design, but a brainstorming session. Colors may be selected as a result of this consultation if this is the priority and time permits.

This consultation is a flat fee of $500 for 90 minutes plus travel time ($250) of the Designer’s time in the home to be followed by a report, proposal, and Scope of Work document for approval. Overage of this time may or may not be available based on the Designer’s schedule. Additional time will be billed at the Designer’s hourly rate of $190. Designer is subject to ferry schedule times and may need to request adjustment due to ferry schedule updates. We will notify you immediately if an adjustment is needed.

If the meeting is less than the allotted 90 minutes time, that time may be utilized off-site to generate additional ideas to be included in the brief. Otherwise, the design brief provided as a summary of this meeting is a summary only and does not include additional design time or idea generation outside the consultation.

The design consultation requires up-front pre-payment and is non-refundable. In the event an agreed time is unavailable Designer will endeavor to select an alternate time of mutual acceptability by proposing at least three alternative times. If no time is mutually acceptable the Owner will forfeit the consultation fee.

**This is not a live design session**

Design is a time-intensive process. This is the first step, and a chance to talk out the project, or to verify choices and gain direction.
