Commisioning Custom Residential Work
Five simple steps will bring that piece of furniture from your dreams to your home
Step 1 - After the initial contact is made with you, the client, a meeting is set up in your home to determine exactly where the unit will be placed. At this time a design can be made to fit in with the character of the house (wood type, finish, door style), we can also see if there are any conflicts (e.g.; outlets, air vents) that need to be worked out. Some rough measurements will be taken at this time and a rough sketch will be made.
Step 2 - Another meeting will be made approximately one to two weeks later. At this engagement a presentation drawing with the estimate will be presented. There is no charge for an estimate. If the client requests the CAD drawing, a fee of $200 will be paid (later applied toward the deposit). If the design and estimate are approved a contract will be written up.
Step 3 - After the contract has been signed and a deposit (1/2 total, less CAD fee if applicable) has been paid, the designer and the craftsman will revisit the site, the materials and hardware will be ordered and work will commence based on scheduling and workload.
Step 4 - Once the materials are milled and assembled, the clients are invited to the shop to finalize the stain / color samples. This also gives the client a chance to see the piece as it is being built. Once the stain / color is approved the finishing process will begin.
Step 5 - A delivery / installation date will be scheduled. Delivery of a freestanding piece only requires approximately one to two hours on site. A full wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling unit will take 8-12 hours or more on site. On the day of delivery and installation the balance will be due upon completion.
