No, they do not. Our goal over the course of working with our clients is to ensure timeless designs that are truly original, meet their vision, and are completed to our expectations. Each project is uniquely curated and designed for our clients, we never create the same design twice!
In order to offer this type of service, we have grown amazing relationships with trusted local vendors and furnishing vendors that sell everything highly customizable. Between our downtown studio and our more than 150+ vendors we are valuable to our vendors and make us great contenders in the market to ensure we get the best pricing possible!
From cabinetry, to lighting, plumbing fixtures, window treatments, art, tile, area rugs, bedding, and accessories, we have the ability to provide less than retail pricing to our clients to help their investment stretch further than if they shopped on their own.
We look at the scope of your project and work with your budget to determine what selections we’ll be procuring and that helps us keep our fees lower, support local small businesses, and keep your investment dollars where they should be (in your project to selections you fall in love with)!
It’s impossible to know until we meet and have a clear understanding of your project scope, time of year, and what the market is doing.
If you already have plans, our construction team would love to work with you. Our team will coordinate and review your plans to extensive detail to align with your vision from the beginning before estimating your project and starting construction. Our teams goals remain the same - to ensure a seamless process as your advocate on your project and that all starts with understanding your vision, aligning your budget with your scope, and anticipating all the project needs from the beginning. However, if you already have a contractor and are ready to start construction or are already under construction on your project, our team is not the right fit for you. Starting that late in the game with a design team leads to misunderstandings, delays in construction, and sets the project up for failure. We pride ourselves on successful projects for both our clients and teams, and bringing our team in too late sets us all up for an unhappy project.
It depends on your project. If you’re working from home, schooling from home, and the construction will directly impact your ability to live your life, then we will want to discuss and help you plan.
There is no main tried or true method for determining rates for a project and how to charge. However, on a typical kitchen or bath you can expect a minimum of $10,000 to $17,000 for the design fees from design start to the completion of the construction portion of the project (plans, selections, drawings, 3D renderings, specifications, and project implementation).
For other rooms in the home we really like to assess these on a project by project basis due to the amount of variables, scope of the work, and sizes of the projects.
We charge on a fixed fee basis for all our projects. This is from the start of design through the completion of the construction portion of the project. We specifically work this way to become closer with our clients, have more freedom for great communication, and to get the financial part out of the way in the beginning rather than holding it over our heads for awkward communication in the middle of the project.
New construction or addition projects are assessed by the scope of work and square footage. We will again provide a fixed fee for the project so you can properly budget for construction and the finishes that you will LOVE!!
For interior room projects, we provide a flat fee as well. Again, it depends on the scope of work, size of the spaces, your expectations, and your budget. It’s imperative we know your budget (don’t worry if you’re unsure, we can help you determine the best budget to fit your needs). We love doing the absolute best job for our clients – the only way to do so is to have open communication about all aspects.
We treat each and every project individually and we start the review process for each project with the consultation. In essence, that 90 minute – 2 hour meeting is our base kickoff for your project. This allows us get a better understanding of your budget, scope of work, how you want engage our services, and we assess the overall project conditions to anticipate the project better. We are constantly asking questions, yes – some personal, to gather as much information as possible to make the process that much easier on all involved.
Your home — or workspace — deserves a team that listens, collaborates, and delivers. From first sketch to final walkthrough, JDS Design Build turns ideas into spaces that inspire and endure.
