The following is a general outline of the services that are
offered by Design Environments:
Architectural Critique of the Floorplan:
Recommendations for improved floorplans to include:
• Function
• Layout of furniture and traffic flow
• Aesthetics
• Reflected ceiling plan and electrical consideration
The Designer works in conjunction with the Architect and Client to review and critique the floorplan. It is best
to implement this before any construction begins on the dwelling.
Buyer Profile Defined:
• Potential buyer’s characteristics and profile
• Analyze neighborhood
• Visit competition (as needed)
• Evaluate amenities
Understanding the buyer profile is one of the most important
steps in merchandising a successful model and establishing
an effective sales environment. The design concept,
to include all details, colors and furnishings selected, will
be based
on this evaluation.
Presentation of Design Concept:
• Target buyer
• Accentuate architectural features
• Lifestyle theme
• Color palette including fabrics and wallcoverings
• Furniture style and placement
• Samples of all applicable finishes and surfaces.
The design concept is presented with color boards and detail
drawings that will display the theme, fabrics, colors,
surface specifications and furnishings of
each room of the space.
Provide Interior CAD based Construction Documents
• Designer will call out interior specifications
and surfaces
• All custom designed cabinetry, wall treatments and built-ins are drawn
by the Designer and incorporated into drawing set
• Construction documents are created by CAD designer and reviewed by Designer
to ensure accuracy
• Construction documents to be emailed to client or Architect for use and integration with other drawing sets
• Complete set of construction documents will be submitted to client approximately
three to four weeks after proposal is signed
Consultation with Vendors
• Review light switch and electrical layout
with Architect and / or lighting supplier
• Work with lighting vendors to select fixtures within Client’s budget
parameters.
We work with all subcontractors and vendors to ensure that all phases of
the installation will be consistent and compliment each other.
Purchasing and Expediting of Model Contents
• Furniture
• Custom bedding and draperies
• Accessories, imitation plants and florals, artwork, lamps, wallpaper (if applicable) and blinds (if requested)
Upholstered items take eight to ten weeks
for delivery. Once ordered, we expedite weekly to ensure product receipt by scheduled installation date.
All product is received at DEI’s centralized warehouse for control and inspection.
Client is responsible for:
• Installation and supply of wallpaper, built-ins, carpet, light fixtures, tile, vinyl, and painting (*anything attached to the building)
• Model to be delivered to Designer in move-in condition with electrical
and water systems in place, sidewalks and driveways complete and Certificate
of Occupancy granted
Installation
• Installation and travel are finalized a minimum of two weeks prior to installation date
• The initiation of installation and travel arrangements occurs when client signs Pre-Installation Checklist
indicating that the dwelling will be complete and have a Certificate of Occupancy prior to DEI’s arrival
• The installation is a two to three day process per job and is a turn-key operation
• All installation related debris is removed
• We strongly encourage a walk–thru at the end of the installation between the Client
and DEI to ensure satisfaction and completion of job
