Process
Step 1 Contact Us
Our process will start with a 10-20 min Discovery Phone Call (free of charge) to discuss your project and how MDL Interiors works, to see if it is a good fit and if we would like to meet. If we decide to meet we ask that you share any research you have done so far. (many clients have already started to tear magazine pages or pinterest/houzz pages) so we have an even better idea of your project scope and style.
Step 2 On Site Meeting
The onsite meeting we will review your full wish list (prepared to in advance of meeting) we will take photos and discuss initial concept as well as the budget and timeline.
The On-site meeting has a duration of approximately 1.5-2 hours.
Following this meeting you will be emailed a quote from MDL Interiors.
Should the quote be approved, we can schedule a phone call to review any questions, review next steps and schedule the next meeting.
Note. In order to begin Step 3, the first payment is collected.
Step 3 Conceptual Meeting
Concept development, mood boards, OPTIONS are presented. This is where we get excited! You could even start to see samples at this time.
Measurements are done at this meeting
The Concept Presentation generally takes place 3-4 weeks after the quote is approved
Step 4 Plan, sample and design presentation
We will review the layout, samples (tile, flooring etc), and actual purchase finishings (lighting, etc) Following completion of this package, you will start to receive an estimate from our preferred General Contractor for client consideration, and the contractor quote gets finalized as we finalize the finishings and layout.
This stage has some back and forth as we finalize the finishings, estimates, layout. This process could take 2 more meetings before all is finalized.
Contractor Signed, Source List Purchased
MDL Interiors will provide you with a list of your finishings and furnishings for purchase, with a link or purchase instructions,, photos, delivery timeline, purchase deadlines, specs & pricing.
During this time, client and contractor would sign the contract, including an agreed upon start date.
Construction Starts, Construction Process
MDL Interiors does a full briefing to contractor before construction begins
Once construction starts, MDL Interiors will do site visits as there are always little details that are caught in person and can provide on site guidance if required.
Step 5 Load-in & Styling
This stage can take time depending on delivery times. Furnishings can be waiting in a storage locker, or purchased once construction is finished, all depending on Client request and budget.
Styling can also be included in the furniture decor package, once the furniture is all in place a date is scheduled for styling.
