Handmade in the GTA

You want to redo your kitchen OR you have a stellar idea for a piece you want to add into your home OR your business needs fine millwork done to finish off/update the space ..... You have checked out our instagram/website & you decide we are the team for you! Yeah! But what do you say? What details do we need?  We have you covered. We created some questions below to help you describe & refine the details of the project. The more you can tell us - the more efficiently & accurately we can design a thorough plan for you

• Are you looking for a single piece, multiple pieces, or an entire space to be renovated?
• Is this a residential or commercial project?
• What size is the space/area we are working with?
• Would you like a facelift or a complete overhaul?
   

• Do you have a design style in mind? Or influences?
• What’s inspiring your design for this piece/project?
• How would you describe the design of the rest of your home/space?
• Do you have a material (ie. wood species, glass, metal…) that you would like us to work with?
• Do you have photos for inspiration or of your existing space we will be working with?
• Would you like to use solid wood or are you ok with laminate or paint or a combination of materials?

• Do you have specific dimensions for the piece you would like built?
• How big is the space you would like to build in?
• Do you have specific finishings or finish you would like to use?
• Does the piece need specifics that will ensure it can be used the way you need it to? ie. shelving at specific heights
• Do you have a timeline in mind for the project? Do you have a hard deadline?

After we receive your initial email. we may request a few more details or have some questions for you in order to move forward. We will reach out  to you via email for clarification,  as well as to discuss a timeline & a budget that works for us all. We will then begin by evaluating your concept - inspirations - needs & your space. Proceeding as follows:

1. Rough estimate - We send a rough estimate of the project - with just the basics to give you an idea of the cost design & timeline
2. Design Fee - The go ahead is given & you would like more detailed plans (yeah!) We will ask you to provide a design fee to hold your delivery date & allow us to create full drawings of the project - Expect detailed plans within a week
3. Build - The plans are set & we are ready to get into the shop & build - you sit back relax & get excited 
4. Delivery & Instillation - Pretty self explanatory - we will get in touch when the project is ready to be in its permanent home & arrange timing of delivery/installation 

Ok, we know, this can be the awkward part especially when we just met you! At least buy you dinner first right?! 

But in all seriousness knowing the budget allows us to come up with the best design straight away without too much back & forth, saving us all time. It also allows us to get creative & suggest some amazing solutions that appear high end without the cost & without sacrificing quality. Alternatively if you love high end design & want to go for it we can design based on some incredible high end materials & finishings - now owning a piece you’ll have for a lifetime

You wouldn’t buy a home without discussing a budget with a realtor first right!? You could be shown homes far beyond your budget & be disappointed it can’t be yours. Same can be said with custom millwork - some finishings - woods & so on can be pricier than you would expect - so talking budget right off the bat allows us all to set our expectations from the start & design something beautiful that matches your budget

We promise we do not quote based solely on using your entire possible budget, at least not without explaining why & where the money is allocated first. We are a young family & we know each dollar counts. We also believe when possible leaving some wiggle room to help with some potential issues that come up down the line OR if all goes to plan you’ll have some more money to buy that matching rug you wanted for the space.
