The Design Process

At Scenicridge, our commitment to superior design drives everything we do. Whether we’re working on a custom build, remodel, renovation, commercial space, or heritage restoration project, we collaborate closely with each client to develop a conceptual design that aligns with their vision, lifestyle, and budget.

Our Design-Build process commences with an in-depth conversation about the client’s desires and requirements. We then gather any visual reference materials they have compiled. Utilizing their design plans and finishes, we craft a storyboard to generate accurate conceptual drawings for review. Following this, we provide a comprehensive estimate, allowing for potential adjustments to the design or budget. Once all details are confirmed, Scenicridge offers a transparent breakdown of project costs within a construction contract.

We are dedicated to producing stunning, award-winning custom designs with every project, ensuring no compromises are made. Design and functionality are meticulously balanced in every aspect of our work.

Every client inspires us with their unique needs and dreams. It is this individuality that ignites our passion and gives true meaning to all our designs.

We invite you to reach out to us at any stage of your project. We are here to address your queries, offer guidance, and connect you with other industry professionals. Let’s embark on this exciting journey together and make your new endeavor a truly enjoyable one!
