The process of designing and building a home should not become overwhelming as it often does, often making sacrifices and not completing the design to its full potential. We understand, which is why we created a process that focuses on the most important items, and allows you to get the project of your dreams.
Quick visualization of your idea is necessary to move forward with conviction. Dragging and dropping objects into a 3-D model is the quickest and easiest path to visualize how your choices affect the overall project, and this quick win prevents getting stuck.
Completing a design and materials list early in the project assures you focus on what becomes important once the project is finished. Avoid the pitfall of scrambling to select items at the end of construction and making sacrifices because you are running out of time.
