A clear process, from first conversation to final walk-through.
Conversation and Site Visit
Every project starts with a conversation about your family, property, and brief, followed by a site visit to see how the space is used and discuss your goals. This stage ends with a clear scope and an indicative range for design fees and build budget.
Concept Design
We translate your brief into a design direction: plans, references, materials, and guiding ideas. Concept design is presented in person and refined through your feedback before sign-off.
Design Development
The concept is resolved into a complete design, including detailed plans, planting schemes, millwork drawings, material and finish selections, and lighting. Documentation is finalized and ready for pricing.
Tender and Design Oversight
We prepare tender documents and invite pricing from established Metro Vancouver contractors and trades. You contract directly with your chosen builder, and the studio provides design oversight through construction, including shop drawing review, site questions, and periodic site visits.
Walk-Through and Care
We complete a final walk-through and provide a care guide for plantings, finishes, and specialty elements. Warranties are provided by manufacturers, suppliers, and your builder. Linebuds Creative remains available for future engagements as your space evolves.
