Your designer will meet with you to understand your vision and needs for the space. HDC will provide layout options/ideas and finish options that provide a unique, personal touch and fit your style. The end result is a customized Design Packet, including your personal design selections and drawings/renderings, for final approval.

The HDC Tailored design packet includes the following: existing photos, as-built plan, demo plan, remodel plan, electrical plan, flooring plan, tile elevations (Technical & Standard), plumbing/lighting/hardware elevations (Technical & Standard Color), cabinet elevations from our supplier, and selection details.
(10 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)
An HDC project consultant meets with the prospective client virtually or in their home to see the space, discuss the general scope of the project being considered, and to decide if we are a good fit for the project/client needs.
Timing: 2 - 3 business days
Meeting Outcomes: Rough range estimate for the proposed project. Design fees communicated. Next steps are outlined.
If the client decides to move forward with the full design-build option, a contract is drawn up and signed. 50% of the design fee due upon signature. The project is entered into the design pipeline.
Timing: Upon agreement
Meeting Outcomes: Signed Tailored Design contract & initial design payment made/received.
The client will meet the assigned design team member for the project along with the HDC project consultant, design team manager, and the HDC estimator at the project space.
Timing: 2 weeks
Meeting Outcomes: Design staff introduced. Project scope reviewed. Official space measurements taken. Client invited into project Pinterest board.
Client reviews their inspirational images and discusses their vision with their designer, providing an idea of what direction the design should take and an understanding of what current pain points are within the space.

Once the design packet is approved, our estimator will set up a site visit with our trade partners.

The estimator takes the design selection information along with the trade estimates and finalizes the budget for the project plan.
Timing: 1 week
Meeting Outcomes: The project’s finalized, fixed* budget.
A construction contract is presented with the finalized, approved design plan and fixed* budget.
*Included in each contract, there are escalation and de-escalation clauses. Additionally, the budget is subject to change should alterations be made to the construction plans after signing.
While no two projects are alike, our free pricing guide will help you know what to expect when meeting with contractors to discuss your project. At Hogan Design & Construction, we will continually provide you with accurate estimates throughout the design process and establish a fixed price before construction begins.
I have for sometime, and continue to use Hogan Design & Construction for all of my renovation and building needs. Highly recommended!
