What Is It Like to Work With Allison Smith Design?

This studio makes the process easy for you by following simple steps that create profound results.
When you get in touch, you’ll share some basic details about what you’re looking for: residential or commercial, remodel or new construction, budget, timeline, and anything else you want the team to know. After that, the design team will carefully review the information before contacting you to schedule an online meet-and-greet over Zoom. That’s when you and the team will determine whether to move forward.
Once that’s done, the next step is an in-person meeting to dig even deeper. A senior design consultant will visit your home or business, where you’ll give a tour, explain your lifestyle or business needs, and go over requirements and goals. The consultant will take note of it all while asking questions to fill in every blank.
With that information, your consultant will devise a concrete plan, including a description of project scope and a cost analysis. You’ll receive a project scope and cost analysis document, establishing a building plan based on your goals, describing project phases, and clarifying the necessities for completing each task. It will also include quotes, a list of possible contractors, and a detailed estimate of what individual aspects of the project will cost.
Then it will finally be time to complete the project! That involves sourcing materials and products, managing contractors, and regularly communicating with you so that you never have to face unpleasant surprises.

Best of all, your project will give back to the community. Allison Smith Design donates part of its proceeds to a worthy nonprofit, The American Autism Association. You can make your property beautiful and enhance the quality of life for people with autism at the same time.
