Consultations:

The consultation can be a single step in which you pull together and polish the vision you already have in your head.  Or, it can be just the first step in making the whole thing happen.  

3D Design Drawings:  Please see our Gallery. Not every project I design for you to needs to be presented in 3D drawings. But, there are some compelling reasons to consider them:

• if you are not a visual person, it helps so much to see the "virtual" results.  Rendered design drawings are so realistic, they can sometimes not be told from photographs.  They provide a clear idea of how your choices can change your space.
• they let you "try on" different design elements and see how different choices will change the space differently.
• if you want something custom that you cannot just find in a catalogue
• if you need help in planning your lighting - we use a particularly brilliant light rendering software. 
• 3d drawings to scale with dimensions are very valuable for the trades and suppliers involved.  It keeps everyone on the same page.  
• drawings come in very handy where permits are required.
• drawings are a useful tool for monitoring budget.  They have a building inventory feature.
  

Project Mangement:

Ok you love our design, now what?  

• who sells what
• which products and services give you the best value for the money
• how to get quotes and compare apples to peaches
• where the showrooms are
• how to get the price down
• how to find samples
• when things should get delivered, what's the turnaround time
• finding contractors and installers you can trust
• what your budget should be 
• what order the process should take and what the overall timeline should look like
• what steps to take if something goes wrong
  
• AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
  

• After you have hired me to design your space or renovation, all it takes to engage me to plan and manage your project is let me run with it.  
• I have my own team of trades and suppliers that has taken years to build. As a prerequisite to complementary project management, I only work with my own team. I am dedicated to highest standard of professionalism and this is how I ensure it. They know their stuff and they are committed to excellence.
• You get written quotations on everything. People are amazed at how prompt and detailed our quotations are. 
• We will help you understand how everything will work.
• I make sure the trades and deliveries work on schedule.  
• You get the advantage of all my trade discounts and trade only sources.
• If I can't buy it for you at the best price, well then you can always buy it yourself - no obligation.
• My policy is to share my trade discounts and subcontracted rates with the client. That is how I stay in business without charging you a fee for project management. It is a win/win arrangement since my involvement means you are still buying below retail.
• When I manage a project, I act as the client's agent with the trades and suppliers.  If something is wrong, you can call me and I will undertake the process of making it right. 
• You get multiple guarantees and warrantees on some items.  For instance, each supplier and subcontractor is insured and offers a warrantee.  The invoices all come from Magick Home Makeovers and we are also insured and warrantee our work.  You are covered.
