Initial Client Consultation
Bring all of your thoughts, ideas, brochures, photos, magazine clippings and other information you have that will give us the clearest vision of your home expectation. In our experience, this meeting has the potential to be one of the most important steps. It will not only give us an idea of the type of home you are looking for, but will also allow us the chance to get to know you the Client.
Preliminary Design
All of the information gathered from the Initial Client Consultation will be translated into a Preliminary Floor Plan with a Front Elevation.
At the beginning of this stage, we will only be looking at the overall layout of the design and space planning; trying to determine the location and size of each desired room and how each space will flow from one area of the home to the next. As the design progresses, more detail will be added to the plans each time. Therefore, this stage typically takes some time as we will most likely being communicating back and forth a few times doing our best to get your floor plans just right.
Working Drawings
Once the Preliminary Design has been finalized and approved, the Working Drawings are ready to be put together. Working Drawings will include any and all information necessary to tell a Builder or Contractor how to properly construct the house. Full dimensioning, building sections and construction details are only a few items that all have to be completed. As a result, these drawings typically demand a certain amount of time to complete. These are the drawings you will be sending for quotes, engineering and more importantly using to physically build your new home. Therefore, accuracy is important to reduce or eliminate any timely and costly questions during the construction process.
Construction
We are available to our Clients for any questions or concerns during the construction process. Feel free to contact us anytime you have any questions and we will do our best to help determine the answer you might be looking for.

What our clients have to say about Design 53.
louise S. - Homeowner
Wow!!! So nice, just like Christmas. We have a beautiful oasis.
Claire P. - Homeowner
It's refreshing to find a company in the service industry that actually understands the meaning of customer service. She was friendly, extremely thorough, professional and gave me a run down on everything that she did. It gives me great comfort knowing that, not only can I trust someone in my home, but the job she did was superior.
Nicki A. - Homeowner
I used Design 53, for their cleaning services in my home. I had them come in for a big de-clutter of my home, deep cleaning, and organization. I was very impressed by the work done! The consultant was friendly and listened to exactly what I wanted to accomplish. She was also very patient, which I appreciated because I can be rather fickle. Once we had the plan, the consultant executed it perfectly. She was extremely organized and very efficient in her cleaning. She respected the created plan of action while also providing suggestions for things I could do in the future to keep my home the way I wanted it to be! This was a reasonably priced service and I would say that it was worth it, for the amount of work that had to be done! I have already recommended Design 53 to some friends and I would not hesitate to use them in the future.
Krysta F. - Homeowner
A big thank-you to Trend Designs and Amber-Dawn, for transforming my 3100 square foot home. They helped me with cleaning, decorating, staging and making my home completely ready to sell. It has never looked so good. I’m extremely impressed by their attention to detail, ability to manage their time efficiently, and their professionalism. I look forward to many years of using their services in my new home.

With the deposit, we will draw up the preliminary floor plan designs for your review. This will include the Main and Upper Floor Plans and Front Elevation. Once you have approved the design, we can create the entire plan set. You simply pay the balance upon delivery.
We will provide you with full Working Drawings that are ready for Permit submission and Construction. The Working Drawings will include Exterior Elevations, Detailed Floor Plans with Electrical, Foundation Plan, Cross Sections as required.

Competing with other companies require you to have an edge. If you are a small company, resources like a third party drafting company becomes an invaluable tool.

Having third party design and drafting services working with you gives your company a more robust and professional look to potential clients.

From the starter market to large estate homes, we can help establish a vision for your community and can be a party of the development of the community architectural guidelines for builders to follow. Our extensive experience in design and creativity will ensure the streetscapes of a community flow with the theme.
We will follow through with the Architectural Approval process to provide a positive influence on the community property values through the quality controls and preservation of design integrity within all project developments.
