Our Estimate Process

The Design and Budget Consult

The goal is to help you discover new ideas, explore options and understand costs. Not just email you a quote.

How To Get An Estimate

We call our estimate process a Design and Budget Consult.

Before we schedule your consult we like to have a short discovery call to learn more about your project and explain how we work.

 

Our Design & Budget Consult Has 3 Steps:

1. It starts with a home visit to get accurate measurements

2. We create 3D concept drawings & a good better best budget

3. Meet in our showroom to review everything together.

At the end of the consult you will have 3D concept drawings, a detailed scope of work and a realistic ‘good, better, best’ budget for your project.

Our Consult Fees

If you want a rough idea of costs before scheduling your consult we can provide that over the phone or by video call.

Our Approach: Budget Generously

Similar bathrooms, different costs.

We provide a  ‘good, better, best’ estimate with every consult and take the time to explain the pros and cons of different options when we meet in our showroom. 

Our estimates are designed to be a little generous, so you have flexiblity in design.
