Architectural & Interior Design
We begin the design process with brainstorming Architectural & Interior Design ideas, creating look books, and sketching out rough plans. Throughout the process, the designs become more detailed and clients have a clear depiction of the designed spaces. The ideas are fine tuned to create moodboards & renderings, which are then used to create purchase lists for ordering. Final plans turn into construction documents which are then used for city permitting and construction commencement.

Permitting & Project Budgeting
While the construction documents are being permitted, Sabina V and the client discuss project budget requirements as a guideline. From the moodboards & renderings, Sabina V will produce a project breakdown and timeline, and create purchase lists for all furniture, lighting, appliances, decor, etc. Purchase & assembly packages are also available as a white glove service. Construction and ordering commences upon permit approval.

Ordering, Assembly, & Construction
Sabina V offers white glove services which include ordering everything from the design purchase list (created from the moodboards), scheduling of all deliveries, assembly of all the purchased items, and construction management of the permitted construction work. Handling these tasks separately or managing the communication between these people can become grueling, so why not have it all “taken care of?”
Sabina V has experience in both residential and commercial build outs, and in most cases can project potential design and build costs early in the design process (using projected design fees and contractor quotes from the start).
Most designers are more preoccupied with acquiring new clients and providing pretty renderings (which I don't deny look beautiful), but have little concern for actual buildout costs.
Most clients don't look into budget breakdowns for the whole project until the plans are ready to permit. Inaccurate contractor quotes (unless adequately checked, contractors will put inaccurate costs to bait you and then surprise you with additional costs mid project), not including appliances and furniture, not calculating square footages on finishes for rough finish selection costs, etc…can all lead to thousands of dollars of budget overages.
Disappointed and frustrated clients have then paid for a design they can't afford to build and have to make change orders, or run out of money through the project, prolonging their build out.
