Design Development Phase

At EdenbyDesign, we believe in a seamless, transparent process that brings your vision to life while making the journey enjoyable and stress-free. Our process is structured into three phases—Discovery, Design, and Delivery—each essential to creating a beautiful, functional space that reflects your unique style and needs.

01

Initial Consultation and Discovery

In this first step, we meet with the client to discuss their goals, preferences, and functional requirements for the space. Through questions and visuals, we aim to understand the client’s vision and any specific needs, preferences, or challenges they want us to address. This is also the time to discuss budget, timeline, and any constraints related to the project.

02

Site Analysis

We conduct a thorough analysis of the site, documenting the existing conditions, taking measurements, and noting any architectural or structural elements that will influence the design. This step helps us understand the physical characteristics of the space, including lighting, views, circulation patterns, and other key aspects.

03

Developing the Concept

The concept development phase involves translating the client’s vision and needs into a cohesive design direction. We create a series of mood boards, sketches, and inspiration images to convey the style, colors, materials, and general feel of the space. This step serves as the creative foundation for the schematic design, giving both the client and design team a clear idea of the intended aesthetic.

04

Space Planning

With the concept in place, we focus on spatial planning to optimize flow and functionality. This includes preliminary layouts showing furniture placement, circulation paths, and spatial organization. Our goal is to create a layout that enhances usability, supports the client’s lifestyle or business operations, and aligns with their vision for the space.

05

Preliminary Drawings and Renderings

We begin creating rough floor plans, elevations, and sometimes 3D renderings to illustrate the layout and design concept. These preliminary drawings provide a visual framework for understanding how the space will look and feel, enabling clients to see how individual elements like walls, furniture, and finishes come together cohesively.

06

Materials and Finishes Selection

At this stage, we explore material and finish options to give the client an initial sense of color and texture within the space. This includes options for flooring, wall treatments, cabinetry, and other major finishes. We present samples and swatches to help the client visualize the atmosphere and quality of the materials in the proposed design.

07

Client Review and Feedback

Once we have developed the initial schematic design, we present it to the client for review. This is an interactive process where we discuss the layout, style direction, materials, and other design elements. Based on the client’s feedback, we make adjustments to ensure the design aligns with their expectations and preferences.

08

Finalization of Schematic Design

After incorporating any necessary revisions, we finalize the schematic design package, which typically includes refined floor plans, elevations, and mood boards for the approved materials and finishes. This package serves as a roadmap for the next design phases, setting a clear direction for further development.

Outcome

The schematic design phase concludes with a comprehensive vision for the project, establishing a strong foundation upon which detailed design and technical specifications will be built. This clear, cohesive plan ensures alignment with the client’s vision and paves the way for a seamless transition into the design development phase.

Proposal & Estimate

Our proposal and estimate process ensures you have a clear understanding of project details, from costs to timelines, before moving forward. Here’s what to expect as we work to craft a personalized proposal that aligns with your design goals and budget.

Detailed Cost Estimate

We prepare a thorough estimate that accounts for all aspects of the design process. This includes costs for:

  • Design fees, based on the project’s size and complexity
  • Furniture, fixtures, and finishes
  • Custom elements and installations
  • Contractor or vendor services
  • Estimated material and labor costs 

By breaking down each category, we provide a transparent overview of costs, allowing you to see exactly how your budget will be allocated.

Project Timeline Development

With the scope and budget in place, we draft a preliminary project timeline, outlining each phase from initial design to installation. This timeline provides realistic expectations regarding the duration of each stage and key milestones, helping us stay on track and ensuring we meet your deadlines.

Proposal Presentation and Review

We present the proposal in a comprehensive document that includes the scope of work, design concept overview, detailed cost estimate, and project timeline. During this meeting, we encourage questions and review each section to ensure everything aligns with your expectations. If adjustments are needed, we’ll revise the proposal accordingly.

Approval and Next Steps

Once you’re satisfied with the proposal, we’ll provide a contract and outline the next steps to officially kick off the project. After the proposal is approved, we’ll dive into the next design phases with a clear understanding of your vision, budget, and timeline.

By following this structured Proposal and Estimate Development Process, we aim to provide full transparency and set a strong foundation for your project, ensuring that every step is aligned with your design goals and financial expectations.
