PHASE I: IDENTIFY
Any design we do at Gem and Clay begins with identification. When we lead clients through this phase of the process, everyone emerges with a clear vision for what should be accomplished with the final space.
STEP 1 Orientation
This is the discovery portion of the project. Our goal is to learn about you and to gather all of the details of your project so we can determine what service would be the best fit. Once we have found a service to be a good fit, we gather any additional information we need before preparing a detailed scope of work and proposal for you. After discussing the proposal and receiving approval, we open the project and dive deeper.
STEP 2 Planning & Research
During this step, we perform a site survey, take measurements and pictures, and discuss the resources and teams that will be involved throughout the project. We discuss initial ideas with the teams and tradespeople involved and we begin to develop the project scope and budget.
STEP 3 Creative Calibration
This is the vision-forming part of the process. The goal of this step is to align ourselves with your functional and aesthetic goals for the project. We will dive deep into your lifestyle and preferences for each space to ensure we fully understand what inspires, nurtures and serves you. We then create the design concept and work with you on budget allocations to make sure our final selections, sourcing and specifications align with your priorities.
