Can Zen Reno & Design work with my contractor?

Certainly, at Zen Reno & Design I am open to collaborating with any contractor chosen for the project. However, projects often proceed more smoothly when working with contractors who are familiar and trusted. This familiarity allows for streamlined communication, better coordination, and a shared understanding of project expectations, ultimately enhancing the overall quality and efficiency of the construction process.

Are project management services offered?

 

While Zen Reno & Design does not offer formal construction project management services — which requires a special license in construction in the state of Florida — I take on the role of 'design manager' to oversee the execution of the design vision. Throughout the project, I remain actively involved to ensure the design is fully understood and accurately implemented by the contractor. This includes conducting regular site visits during the renovation process, working closely with the contractor to address any unforeseen decisions, and troubleshooting any issues that arise on-site. My goal is to protect the integrity of the design and ensure that the final result reflects the client's vision. By maintaining this hands-on approach, I help create a seamless and satisfying renovation experience for my clients.

How are design fees determined?

I offer flat-fee pricing for both Full-Service Design and Guided Design. Full-Service includes a set number of revision hours, while Guided Design does not include any revisions, allowing me to offer a more competitive price point for clients seeking design direction with less ongoing involvement. Large-scale renovations and high-end projects will only be considered for Full-Service Design, as they require my full attention to manage details, coordinate with contractors, and ensure a cohesive, high-quality outcome. Full-Service is the best option for complex projects to guarantee a successful result. I strive to get the design right from the start by thoroughly understanding your vision and minimizing the need for revisions. If adjustments are required, I provide clear, upfront quotes to ensure transparency and a smooth experience. My focus is on understanding you and your project from the start and delivering exceptional results the first time. Please send an inquiry to learn more about the differences between Full Service and Guided Design,

Where are materials sourced from?

Material sourcing for each project is tailored to fit the specific requirements, budget constraints, and desired aesthetic outcomes of each individual design project. I meticulously curate selections from a variety of sources, ranging from my favorite showrooms and vendors to popular online retailers to ensure a diverse array of options.

How involved are clients in design decisions?

Client input is highly valued, and there is a strong commitment to incorporating the client’s preferences and vision throughout the design process. However, allowing time and space to independently explore ideas enables the designer to fully tap into creativity, resulting in truly innovative solutions. Once the design concepts are developed, they are presented to the client, with ample opportunity for revisions. The ultimate goal is to create a space that not only exceeds expectations but also provides a seamless and enjoyable design experience, alleviating the stress of countless decisions from the client’s shoulders.
