THE DUTCH WAY
Our 3 Phases Process
Though no two projects are alike, we have a solid foundation of a system we apply to each and every client. This helps us stay on track and deliver the seamless customer experience each of our project deserves and receives when you hire us with our full service interior design. Our services facilitates your project from beginning to end where we take your "pie in the sky" dream space, blow it up, and bring it to life.
Our Projects can typically take 6 months depending on the project before any physical work is actually done. We do suggest you reach out sooner than later due to limited space and for you get the start date you'd like. We can only take on a certain amount of work to ensure the quality of our services.
{POTENTIAL CLIENTS}
Please fill out the contact form located on the contact page. This helps us get to know you and your project a little bit more before we chat. If we think you're potentially a good fit, we will follow up with a Discovery Call to ask a few more questions and potentially schedule an initial site visit. In this initial site visit, we will discuss your project(s) and find out more about what your likes/dislikes, investment, and style. This is when Macy will assess the design flat fees and ball park price for your project(s). After this visit, we will schedule a follow up meeting to discuss costs for design fees, projects and go over the contract. Once the contract is signed and design fees are paid, the 3 phase process will begin.
**Please note: Fees will apply for any projects outside the Denver Metro in which requires travel time. **
