THE CDD DESIGN PROCESS

1 // Discovery

Each new client project starts with a discovery call. This allows us to learn more about each other and ultimately determine if we’re a good fit. If we are, we’ll schedule an on-site consultation. This appointment will allow us to get a better understanding of your project scope, we’ll also talk about timelines, budget, special considerations, etc. After the consultation we’ll prepare a design agreement that we’ll both sign and collect the design fee to begin on the project.

2 // Site Visit and Planning

This stage is where magic happens! We’ll schedule a day to head back to the project site to carefully assess the space and obtain accurate measurements, take photos, and note any other relevant information we will need. This is a crucial part of the process. We talk in depth about the different ideas and take inventory of the items you would like to incorporate, if any. This is also when you show us all your inspiration photos and we dive in and break your vision down.

If we’re working with other trades, this is also when we’ll meet with them to get initial estimates. After that, we head back to our studio and get started on floor plans and renderings. This is also when source all lighting, furnishings and accessories from our exclusive list of vendors.

3 // Presentation

Once we have perfected your custom design we’ll schedule a design presentation. We present to you a comprehensive design and review all aspects of your custom space, this includes renderings, sketches, color schemes, digital design boards, fabric samples, furniture selections and the budget breakdown. All design elements are customized to you and your home. 100% of the furnishings balance is due at this time.

4 // Project Management and Receiving

We work hard behind the scenes to make sure your dream space is coming together perfectly. We place all your orders as well as receive, inspect, and store all your items safely until the big day! This is also when our team works hard to solve problems that arise during the project management phase, such as damages and delays. We’ll work tirelessly to ensure your vision is brought to life!

5 // Installation, Styling and THE BIG REVEAL

Our favorite part! This is when our vision comes to life. You leave for the day and the Cinthya Duran Design team comes in and pulls it all together. You get to come home to a brand new space, without having to lift a finger! We style your space at this time and you’ll be able to purchase any of the additional decor we used. Together, we walk through the space and review all the pieces that complete your space. We also note any deficiencies so they can be addressed immediately.

6 // Enjoy

We love to stay in touch with our clients after a project is complete. We’ll schedule a shoot day within a week or two of your installation and have our photographer come over and photograph your space for our portfolio. We’ll also send you a feedback Questionnaire and of course we appreciate your referrals and online reviews.
