WHAT OUR PROCESS LOOKS LIKE
As a full-service design studio, we are here for much more than providing a beautiful design. We are here as your partner in every step of the way and guide you through the entire process with a clear outline of what you can expect through five phases.
PHASE 1: DISCOVERY
Our discovery phase is centered around getting to know you and your unique needs and wants. We begin with a presentation of design concepts and inspiration to establish the design direction suited towards your preferences.
PHASE 2: DESIGN
Based on the individual discovery phase, our team begins designing through a variety of mediums. Floorplans are the foundation of our designs and are meticulously thought through to provide the perfect balance of form and function. Elevations and renderings are developed to give you a strong visual sense of how the space will look and feel as it comes to life.
PHASE 3: SPECIFICATION
Each client receives a specification book, outlining every aspect of the design. From the material callouts for every space, elevation, and selection, to the millwork details and more. We work closely with your build team to ensure they have everything they need to execute your design.
PHASE 4: MANAGEMENT
Building or remodeling a space takes an extreme amount of planning to bring together all the materials and trades to create a successful timeline. Leaving nothing to chance, we work with your architect, builder, and all trades and vendors to ensure everything on your project is coming together exactly as you envisioned.
PHASE 5: INSTALLATION
The final phase in our process comes together as our team works closely with our professional installers to give you a stress free and impressive turn-key experience.
At Leslie Schofield Studio, we pride ourselves on having a talented Design Team, Purchasing Department, and Administrative Team that collaborates together on every project. As the principal and founder, Leslie makes sure she is involved in every project and limits the number of projects we take on so that we can devote the attention you need to deliver the highest quality work product and create a seamless experience for you.
“When I was introduced to Leslie, I had no idea what a designer did. I thought it was just getting someone to help me chose drapery and furniture. Working with Leslie made me realize that a good, knowledgeable designer is the single most important person on your team. Leslie was incredibly knowledgeable about the use of space, room design and function, paint colors, flooring, cabinets, doors—pretty much everything on the interior of the house. She even did the concept drawings and communicated with the contractors to make sure every part of our vision turned out as planned. Best of all, she listens and then delivers only what she thinks you will like or have asked for. It’s no surprise we used Leslie on a second home and the remodel of a third home.”
