Our Design Process
Our process is seamless and thorough, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully considered. We break this down into three key phases that allow us to carefully address the details of your wants and needs while keeping things transparent and running smoothly. This clear, structured approach will enable us to align with your vision while making the journey enjoyable. Our timelines vary based on the project’s scope; however, below is a general idea of what to expect from each phase of our process.
1. Schematic Design Phase
The timeline for this phase is approximately two months + one month for revisions. We will review inspiration images and gather input on your project’s function, form, and style. With your vision and goals in mind, our internal team will collaborate to create a proposal and design package with detailed specifications for your approval.
2. Detailed Design Phase
Our second phase takes approximately two months to complete. We’ll present items that fit your budget, quality level, and aesthetics using our industry knowledge and design expertise. All written quotes and detailed proposals will be prepared during this time. We will also spend time sourcing finishing selections at showrooms. This phase exists to turn your ideas into orders and plans.
3. Purchasing + Execution Phase
The timeline for the final phases depends on the project’s scope and construction schedule. Your designer will be responsible for placing all orders, tracking deliveries, resolving deficiencies, and communicating with all vendors and trade partners. Three site visits will be made as needed during this time: after framing, after electrical rough-ins, and after cabinetry installation.
At Seydel Group, our commitment to excellence in design and craftsmanship means that every project reflects our clients’ unique aspirations while providing an enjoyable process. From the first inspiration to the final reveal, we bring your vision to life with an approach that balances creative design with precision craftsmanship. Choosing a fully integrated design-build partner gives you more than just a beautifully crafted space—it delivers peace of mind and a home tailored to your lifestyle.
Design-Build FAQs
How does the design-build process work step by step?
In a design-build project delivery approach, you start with an initial consult, then move into project design and selections while your builder provides construction expertise input up front. From there, the team finalizes drawings and pricing, schedules trades, and uses unified project management to carry the build through construction phases, walkthrough, and completion.
How does budgeting typically work in design-build contracts?
Budgeting is usually established early, with real-time pricing guidance during early collaboration so design decisions stay aligned with what you want to invest. This delivery method helps create fewer surprises, and supports smarter choices to help lead to cost savings by reducing redesigns, change orders, and delays.
Are there any drawbacks or criticisms of the design-build approach?
Some people worry that because design and building are under one roof, it may feel like there’s less separation between “designer” and “builder.” The best design-build teams address this with clear documentation, transparent pricing, and structured check-ins so the project delivery stays accountable while keeping the benefits of streamlined project management.
How does design-build differ from traditional construction methods?
Traditional construction typically separates design and construction projects into different contracts, which can slow decisions and create gaps in responsibility. Design-build combines project design and construction services into one coordinated delivery method, encouraging early collaboration, smoother scheduling, and fewer handoffs and project owners throughout the project delivery process.
