During the initial interview with a client, we ask many questions to determine the scope of the project and the client’s particular tastes or vision. Once the specifications are understood and the area to be designed has been carefully inspected, the design process usually involves initial sketches that continually evolve before being finalized using computer-aided design (CAD) software. All components must be taken into account, including flooring, lighting and wall coverings as well as the people that will be using the space, while making sure to remain within budgetary constraints.
