Planning Your Custom Project: What We Need to Know
Published Feb 6, 2025
Getting accurate estimates for your custom project requires specific details to ensure we can provide you with precise pricing and timeline information. Whether you’re an individual homeowner, renovator, or interior designer, here’s what our estimating team needs to assist you effectively:
Essential Project Details
- Project Location: The physical address or area where the project will be installed is crucial for accurate pricing and logistics planning.
- Existing Documentation: Any available architectural drawings, floor plans, or detailed measurements help us understand the scope and requirements of your project.
- Visual References: Inspiration images, sketches, or examples of similar projects you admire help us understand your vision and desired outcome.
- Time Frame: Whether you need trim by next week or are planning a new build that hasn’t broken ground yet, having an ‘in hand’ date helps us make the best recommendation for your project’s needs.
Technical Specifications
- Interior vs. Exterior: Specify whether your project is for indoor or outdoor use, as this affects material selection and installation requirements.
- Material Preferences: Indicate your preferred materials or finishes, as this significantly impacts both pricing and durability.
- Installation Requirements: Let us know if you need professional installation services or plan to handle installation independently.
Additional Considerations
The more detailed information you can provide, the more accurate and timely our estimate will be. Our team is here to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have about these requirements.
