Selections Assist Timeline | 6 Weeks
(6-week timing does not take into account the time to schedule from consultation to the design-hand-off meeting as this is highly dependent on all parties' availability and the current HDC pipeline)
Initial Consultation

Timing: 2 - 3 business days
Meeting Outcomes: Rough range estimate for the proposed project. Design fees communicated. Next steps are outlined.
Design Under Contract

Timing: Upon agreement
Meeting Outcomes: Signed Selections Assist Contract and design payment made/received
