Here we measure the existing space so that we can create the necessary as-builts. These are the drawings of the space as it is currently. This foundation allows us to show what is and what could be. This will also lay the groundwork for the future demolition plan that will go into the construction drawings. At this time, we will also look into some of the technical aspects of the project. We will examine items like your electrical panel, HVAC systems and locations, plumbing drains, and supplies. We will also evaluate the structural layout of the home as well to see what will need to be modified, supported, or altered in order to accomplish the plan and design. These and other details will aid us in being able to produce accurate cost projecting. Any “estimate” that does not include drawings and this level of detail will only be a shot in the dark. Remember the old adage: You only get what you pay for.

This is our initial design phase’s “What could it look like” aspect. You have a dream and somewhat of a vision, but let’s put that to paper to see what we can do with it in real life with real measurements. We work alongside your vision and goals as we take inspiration from your Pinterest board, or Houzz photos to create a space that is in line with your aesthetic and project budget. This won’t be some “great reveal” or anything like that. We will openly discuss the options that are practical, functional, and fit your budget.
Our designs include both floor plans and renderings of both the interior remodeled space and exteriors as they apply to your project. The floorplans will show you measurements, space planning, flow, and the big picture of how things will look. The 3D renderings will show you aesthetics and how it will actually feel to be in the remodeled space. We want you to be able to fully envision your project before you jump headlong into your project.
You will get what you pay for here! We will email you PDFs of the drawings and print out copies for your convenience. You will own the drawings so that, as we are fond of saying: you can make smart decisions relative to your budget.

At Amber Valley, Integrated design is a design that looks at the whole project and brings together necessary specialties to accomplish the goal. We take multiple factors into consideration during this process. The goal is that we produce an executable design and that you, our client, achieve an end product that fits like a tailored outfit.

Integrated design benefits residential remodeling by bringing together all aspects of the design process, including architecture, engineering, and construction, to create a cohesive and efficient plan. We take a look at the interdependencies and impacts of different design decisions to present our clients with a more holistic solution. Additionally, we use integrated design to help save you money. By collaborating with the respective trades on your projects, we can identify potential issues and solutions early in the process, and eliminate them before they become issues.
