Our in-house designers are integral to the design and renovation processes every step of the way. They work with
you in the initial conceptual stage, and stay with the job until completion. We recommend you visit an Emerald
showroom to initiate a discussion with one of our knowledgeable staff.

Following are some helpful steps in getting started:

Step 1: Planning is a key part of the renovation project. We suggest you have some understanding of what you
are looking for before initiating the process.
 

Step 2: Once you have an idea on the products preferred and a general budget of what you intend to spend, a designer will meet with you in your home to take measurements and discuss details. They will ask specific questions concerning your lifestyle, preferences, tastes, and what you feel is essential. If major construction work is required, an Emerald construction manager will join the designer for an on-site meeting. By taking all information into consideration a unique design plan specific to your needs can be developed. Quite often, clients are surprised by the amount of work designers do in order to prepare a proper plan and price estimate. The Emerald team is very thorough and strives to provide the best choices and options. The entire process takes roughly a week until a preliminary plan is complete.

Step 3: Our designer will make an appointment with you to review the plan and pricing. Keep in mind the initial design plan is only a starting point based on information the designer has gathered. Generally clients will fine tune details of the plan with the designer and look at different options available.
 

We strongly suggest you allow enough time to adequately plan your project. The more you learn, the more
questions and choices can be presented.

Step 4: After the design plan is finished, colour choices for cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplashes and so
on, will need to be selected. Also, product choices for sinks, faucets, and pulls can be determined.
The design process is now complete!
