PHASE 1: DESIGN CONSULTATION | ONBOARDING

​

Think of it as the first date before making it official.  You will work with our Project Manager to schedule you for your design consultation by phone, with our Lead Designer.  The call is designed to discuss your project more in depth and establish the project scope.  This consultation service is not a complimentary call and requires a fee so we can fully evaluate your project.  After your call, we will prepare your project proposal with your cost of service and estimated timeline to begin design work.  After reviewing your proposal and you wish to move forward, we will prepare your onboarding.

​​

• Designer/client chemistry connect

• Evaluate spaces more in depth and determine potential

• Understand your lifestyle needs

• Review photos of spaces that require services

• Review style preferences

• Introduce you to the Richie Madison signature design process

• Project briefing with questions and answers

• Discuss next steps to prepare proposal

• Client onboarding (Statement of Work, Letter of Agreement, and invoice)

​

PHASE 2: PLANNING & CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

​

After onboarding, you will receive a formal welcome as our new client.  You will receive a defined task list that includes all of the elements needed for your project.  From there, we work with you to develop the concept.  We start pulling inspiration, selecting potential design elements and furnishings, all to create the vision and aesthetic.  All phases require your approval.

​

• Site measurements (you will receive instruction on how and what to measure)

• Concept development

• Detailed explanation of the concept to help define the design direction and vision, inspired by our client

• Concept approvals

​

PHASE 3: RENDERING DEVELOPMENT

​

Inspired by your lifestyle needs, approved concept, and design direction, our team starts the development of your 3D rendering.  Our 3D renderings are photorealistic to give you a real life experience approach and visual to your soon-to-be newly designed space.  This phase allows us to make revisions in a digital format, catch design blunders before they happen in real life, and a visual to see your space -- and how it will function before actual construction and procurement.

​

• Photorealistic 3D renderings to show functionality, scale, and actual finishes and furnishings selections

​

PHASE 4: SOURCING

​

After rendering approval, our team begins the finalization of sourcing your furnishings, decor, and finish selections -- all within budget.  Your full shopping guide will be available in your client portal, along with all other elements of your design plan for your project, for execution.  At this time, in studio, our team will begin preparing your design kit with your finish selection samples for doorstep delivery to your residence or business.  Choosing flooring, wallcoverings, or drapery panel fabrics can be difficult without seeing it up close, first.  To offer confidence and assurance in your selections, we provide those samples in our signature RM packaging for delivery -- the art of detail.

​

• Sourcing of finishes, furnishings, and décor

• Online shopping catalogue to easily and conveniently shop your home goods and selections, at your own pace.

• Carefully prepare your design kit with all available samples and swatches, in studio, in our signature packaging for doorstep delivery

• Password protected client portal is built for full project access

​

PHASE 5: FINAL PROJECT DELIVERY AND COMPLETION!

​

All finishing details have been made.  You will receive the login credentials to your client portal to access your full project and start installation based on our full design plan from start to finish.  Your project is ready for contractors to execute. 

 

Your design plan includes:

​​

• Secured client portal for client and contractor access

• Shopping catalogue with direct clickable links to the retailer for easy access to shop and have your items delivered to your doorstep

• 3D Renderings/Drawings

• Tear Sheet with Product Specifications

• Detailed special notes for installation and contractors

• Receive curated design kit with samples and swatches

• Access to your designer during and after project completion

​

​

Procurement is available for select projects, by request, through our procurement team.

Our signature design process above is for virtually executed interior design, and is the same as our on site design service, except for measurements.
