More often than not, clients find us first in the process of building their team. We are happy to recommend architects, builders, or subcontractors to support exceptional projects. We discuss scope, budget and overall design needs to ensure everyone is on the same page. Once all parties are on board we have clients sign a Design Agreement, and pay a Start Work Invoice, for 60 billable hours.

Once paperwork is complete, ETD will provide a questionnaire with client collaboration. The questionnaire is located via our Client Portal.

Together we will have some time set aside to discuss the overall feeling we want to achieve. ETD will address architecture, colors, and the dreams that our clients would like to see come to life in their space. We prepare a Concept Presentation to determine the aesthetic and spirit of the space.

Upon establishment of Design Concept, ETD prepares schematic drawings for furniture, cabinetry, lighting and anything other elements within the scope. We begin with a set of “as-built” drawings of your space, and propose potential architectural changes, draw suggested furniture plans, and discuss the needs of every space.

Depending on the size and scope of the project we will have a few meetings to propose all materials for your space including stone, tile, plumbing, and appliances. Following hard finishes, we will have another meeting to propose all your suggested furnishings, fabrics, lighting, and window coverings.

After every single item is approved, we will begin invoicing, ordering, and starting production of custom items. Throughout this process our team will work with subcontractors, vendors, makers and builders to ensure everything is being built to our specifications. Our project managers will closely partner with the team, keeping everything on track and within budget. Upon completion, items will be shipped to the ETD warehouse for inspection and storage until the space is complete and ready for installation.

Once the space is complete and clean, ETD will spend 1-5 days installing your home. Window treatments, rugs, wall coverings, furniture, bedding and accessories, are all placed and styled. Emily will walk through your space with you, discuss any loose ends. Our team will work diligently until every last item is checked off the list.
