Project Overview

All initial design consultations, in one of our design showrooms are complimentary. During our first meeting you can expect to spend one hour with us. We will discuss your design and material options along with estimated timing and budget requirements needed to properly develop your project. Please bring existing photos of your space, as well as your Pinterest Board and Houzz Idea Book.

Next we will schedule a site visit to confirm your design scope and budget. This service is complementary, too. After chatting with us in your home, you may choose to initiate beginning the next step in the process, Design Development. Your designer will measure and photograph the space you wish to remodel. There may be a fee for drawing the preliminary design, selecting the materials and pricing your project. Our typical fees start at $1,000.00. The Design Development Fee is non-refundable, but will apply to your final construction contract.

Your designer will arrange a follow up meeting in one of our showrooms for the initial design presentation. Presentations consist of the floor plans, conceptual 3D images of your space, material selections and a proposed budget range for your project.

Once we have captured the essence of your vision, we require a Construction Retainer. This fee varies depending on the size and scope of the project. At this point we schedule a job site visit with one of our project managers and all of our trades needed to complete your project.

AB&K will present a contract for your entire project once we’ve confirmed the scope of work and pricing with our trade professionals. At this meeting, we’ll review all of the final material selection, design drawings, the full scope of work and proposed schedule, for your project.
