THE MARCEAU PROCESS
Gathering the Goods.
In step one, the contract has been signed and we’re getting to know you by identifying your needs and objectives for your space. Questions regarding the specific function(s), who will be using the space, and furniture needs will be discussed. Measurements and photos are also taken at this time and any inspirational photos gathered can be shared.
Pulling it Together.
In the schematic design phase, space planning and furniture layouts are developed. Traffic patterns are considered and applied to the floor plan. Rough sketches and elevations are created, preliminary furniture and finish ideas are developed, vendor bids are obtained and then presented to the client for review and revision.
Diving in.
After final approval of the schematic design, the designer develops floor plans, elevations and other related items in greater detail. Colors and finishes are selected, furniture and fabrics are finalized, contractors bids are approved and cost estimates are prepared. The design is presented to the client for review, revision and final approval.
Signed, sealed & delivered.
This final stage is where things are bought, built and installed. Construction documents are approved. Construction schedule is communicated to homeowner and contractors in preparation for building and installation. Constant communication occurs between contractors, builders and the designer in a collaborative effort to ensure items are received in good condition, installed correctly and that documents have been followed properly.
