Verbal Consults, up to 60 at our office. Talk about general design approach
These are for people who would like to get to know us before embarking on a project. They are held at our home office, and require an appointment.
This type of consult is best for looking at projects, flipping through design books and seeing how we approach design.
If you would like to extend the consult time, we will charge $100.00 per hour for time over 60 minutes.

Verbal Consults, up to 90 minutes on site. Talk about site specific design ideas
These consults take place on the site where you wish to get ideas. After listening to your thoughts, we ask questions to better define possible design approaches, look at the existing conditions, and give a series of ideas on what can be done. We tend to give a range of ideas at this point, so virtually all of the possibilities that conform to your needs can be quickly discussed.
If you would like to extend the consult time, we will charge $100.00 per hour for time over 90 minutes.
One payment, due at time of consult.
$450
Sketch Consults, up to 90 minutes on sitw. Thumbnail sketches of possibilities.
The process is the same as for verbal consults, except that we sketch out our ideas as rough concepts, add color and notes in our office and mail them back to you on 11" x 17" or larger paper. With sketch consults, you don't have to remember all the ideas, and you'll have some quick drawings for a better idea of what we discussed. The plans are not to scale, so they can't be used for quantity estimating - but they are usually close enough so that you can choose a concept for further development.
If you would like to extend the consult time, we will charge $100.00 per hour for time over 90 minutes.
One payment, due at time of consult.
