Design Development:
Fine-tuning the design for the perfect balance of beauty and functionality.
Design development is the most important and time consuming phase of any project. We take the approved schematic design and input the floor plans, site plan, and exterior elevations into computer aided design. We create rough wall sections and cross sections to understand how the house comes together. We also play with scale, materials, and refining the space plan. 3D services are available during the design development stage. At the completion of design development, the builder has enough information to provide a more accurate estimate. We encourage a pause in the process to allow for that estimate.
Documentation:
Compiling comprehensive documents to pave the way for construction.

Our turnaround time is directly impacted by how quickly our clients can provide us with feedback. We ask clients to let us know If more than one week is needed to make a decision as this could impact our workflows.
Our hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Fridays. With advance notice, we are happy to accommodate meetings outside of those hours.
We strive to answer all emails and phone messages within one business day. We encourage any written correspondence to be done through email versus text message, as emails are easier to catalog and reference over the course of a project.
I have now done a basement project using Design Elite as well as a new house build and architectural plans. They have been fantastic to work with, and I have become a huge believer in using their team to confirm all details and drawings prior to getting bids from contractors. This has helped the contractor process tremendously so there is no confusion of expectations. Thank you all so much for your help and support.
