Our Process
A Clear Plan. A Collaborative Experience
A successful renovation is about more than the finished space. It's about having a clear plan,
making informed decisions, and knowing what to expect along the way.
At Lightpoint Designs, our structured process guides you from the first conversation
through design and, when applicable, construction, with communication and collaboration at every stage.
1. Discovery Call
We begin with a conversation to learn about your project, priorities, investment expectations, and timeline. It's an opportunity to ask questions and determine whether we're comfortable moving forward together.
2. Onsite Consultation
We visit your home to explore the possibilities, evaluate the existing space, and gather measurements and documentation. Our consultation fee is $250 and is credited toward your Design Agreement.
3. Initial Investment Report
Before beginning design, we prepare a preliminary investment range based on the proposed scope. This helps establish realistic expectations and confirm we're aligned before moving forward with a Design Agreement.
4. Concept Development
We explore design possibilities through floor plans and 3D renderings, presenting concepts for review and discussion. Together, we refine the design direction before moving into the details.
5. Design Development
With the overall design established, we focus on cabinetry, materials, fixtures, finishes, and the details that bring everything together. We also review the updated project investment as the design develops.
6. FInal Design & Construction Documents
We prepare the detailed drawings, specifications, and documentation needed for construction pricing and permitting, where applicable. This provides a clear scope of work before construction begins.
7. Construction
For projects where Lightpoint Designs manages construction, we coordinate our trade partners, oversee the work, and keep you informed throughout the renovation. Our goal is to make the experience as organized and predictable as possible.
