OUR PROCESS

Every Design Manifest project follows a clear path from our first conversation to the final reveal. Here's what to expect along the way—Project Pillars, Deliverables & Timeline

Discovery Call & Initial Consultation

It begins with a complimentary discovery call to learn about your home and goals and to make sure we’re the right fit. From there, we schedule a 1.5-hour visit to your home to get to know you and the space. Together we review the specifics of the house, talk through possible approaches, and set priorities and sequencing so the scope of the project takes shape. A short follow-up call walks you through our service proposal and a preliminary project investment.

Project Launch

We return to measure every room in scope, note architectural details, and document the home. We also take an inventory of everything that needs a place to live. An in-depth interview helps us build your client profile: how you live, what you need, and what you love.

Inspiration Survey 

Over a 1.5–2 hour video meeting, we present curated visual research and explore color and design direction with you, refining your style before a single plan is drawn.

Schematic Presentation 

In a 2-hour presentation in your home, we share two floor plan options, furniture and cabinetry layouts, and the mood and color story for the project. We also review a line-item cost sheet with allowances, so the budget stays clear from the start.

Full Design Presentation 

In our studio, we walk you through the complete design of every room. You’ll see 3D color renderings, product selections, and the fabrics and finishes in person, and you’ll receive a proposal for furnishings and materials.

Specifications Meeting 

A 1.5-hour studio session to finalize every cabinetry detail: door and drawer styles, interior fittings, and accessories.

Project Management 

This is the spine of a construction manager at work. We manage the schedule and timeline, serve as your construction concierge, and coordinate every vendor. We order, track, warehouse, and deliver every piece with white-glove care, and we supervise installation down to the final detail.

Client Reveal

A 1-hour tour of your finished spaces. We hand over your Client Care Guide, note any remaining items, and then it’s time to enjoy your home.
