Design Retainers - Details

The purpose of a design retainer is to allow us to give you our best design efforts, knowing that our design time is at least partially paid for.

Here's How it Works:

We will:

• Prepare a finished floor plan and perspective based upon the preferred layout.

• Obtain Subcontractor quotes for the work they must perform to do the project.

• Prepare a comprehensive project estimate.

• Prepare a schedule of cost options so that you have maximum flexibility in putting the project together to suit your needs.

• Hold a consultation meeting to prevent the final plans, estimate, cost options and specifications, contracting for the project at this time.

 
Please be advised that the non-refundable retainer fee is applied against the total purchase price and that the plans are released when we have contracted for the Project.
