Design Process

From your first design consultation, in which you discuss your vision for your home, you will discover that Arace Designs is completely dedicated to making tangible your unique wish list and preferences in order to create the home you have always envisioned.  We are an integral part of every stage of the process, from conceptual design to value engineering, as well as throughout construction. We will discuss and provide you with a detailed proposal with a list of design services which include: preliminary design studies, 3D renderings and construction documents for permit, as well as specifications review, quality management and owner representative during construction.

The design process can sometimes feel overwhelming with myriad choices as well as challenges that may arise. By identifying these challenges early on, Arace Designs will create your conceptual design based on a complete and thorough evaluation of your needs, goals, and budget. After the preliminary design is fully developed, we will work with you, your builder, your interior designer and other professionals to evaluate your design from multiple points including aesthetics, structure as well as budget.

Before your construction documents are complete, we will value engineer your entire design to ensure the most cost effective, structural solutions are implemented with respect to your budget and time frame.

Even when your drawings are complete, Arace Designs continues to work behind the scenes with your builder, interior designer, landscape designer, engineer and other professionals, to ensure the design intent is carried through from concept to completion. This is our commitment to you: to provide a personal, collaborative, detail-oriented level of service throughout the entire process, which spans from our initial meeting, until you move into your dream home.
