DESIGN CONSULTATION
An hour with samples, a curated set, and an opinion.
By-appointment session at our Burnaby office to narrow material, colour, and pattern choices against the spec. Take-home sample kit included; consultation fee credited toward the project if you proceed with us.
How it works
The sequence we move through.
Each design consultation engagement runs through the same ordered handoffs — the only thing that changes is the size of the project around them.
-
Intake
Tell us the project, the spec, and the constraints. We pull a curated sample set against what you've shared so the session starts ready to work.
-
The session
One to two hours, by appointment in our Burnaby office. We work through material, finish, sub-type, and how each option pairs with the cabinets, paint, and adjacent surfaces already on the spec.
-
Take-home kit
You leave with a curated sample kit to live with for a week. Display lighting lies; the project's own lighting tells the truth.
-
Narrowed shortlist
We follow up with a written summary of the recommendation — material, finish, supplier, ballpark pricing — so the decision has a record.
-
Optional bridge
If you proceed with us, the consultation fee credits to the project and we move to measure-and-quote. If you proceed with someone else, we send you off with the spec.
What to expect
The shape of the engagement.
A design consultation is the working session between "we need new floors" and "this is the floor we want." It's also the right starting point if you're between materials, between specs, or between two consultants giving you different advice. We narrow the choices, lay out samples, and walk through how the decision plays with the rest of the project — paint, cabinetry, light, and the adjacent surfaces already on the drawings.
Consultations work standalone — for clients who want a second opinion or aren't ready for a full quote — and as the first step of a multi-family or commercial engagement. The deliverable is the same either way: a narrowed shortlist with a written rationale, plus a sample kit to live with for a week before you commit.
Display lighting lies. The space itself tells the truth.

Tell us a little about the project — square footage if you have it, timeline if you have one, and what you're starting with. We'll come back with the next step.
