Design
Where your vision becomes a real, buildable plan.
This is where the vision becomes a real, buildable plan — and where specializing in older homes pays off. We look at both the big picture and the small details so you’re confident in your selections, your choices, and your budget. It begins with a Design Agreement meeting, where we take detailed measurements and get to know your style.
A look inside the Prima design process.
We review a rough layout and scope — preliminary floor plans, sketches, 3D perspectives, and the options we’ve put together for you. Revisions happen on the spot, and we decide on the primary selections.
You visit our design center to see the primary elements in person, so we can settle on the overall direction for your project.
We bring you an updated budget shown as a pie chart, so you can see the proportional cost of each part of the remodel — and focus on what matters most. We also talk through a rough timeline.
We align the primary selections with the budget and refine the details, like cabinet layouts, while continuing the minor selections — a mix of online work and a visit or two to the design center.
With the major selections finalized and clear allowances set, we create the construction drawings and draft your contract. Once you approve it, we schedule your project.
Right before construction, we apply for and submit your plans for permitting, and schedule a pre-construction conference — in person or by video call — where you’ll meet your lead carpenter. Once permitting is approved, we review the schedule with you.
