Our Process

Recipe for Success

Your vision is the catalyst for this process. Add to that, one team of experienced architects + interior designers, more than a dash of organization + creativity, and you’ve got the start of something wonderful. Let’s work together to build your dream into a stylish, comfortable, space where you can live, love, and entertain to your heart’s content.

1. Book a Meeting

During this consultation, we listen to determine your needs, project scope, and budget.

2. Review Estimate

Our team creates a design estimate, you review, and once approved the contract is signed to make the bid official.

3. Confirm Elements

All stakeholders meet to go over the design elements and Vivid works up the design drawings. This is what sets us apart from others – we do all of the design in-house.

4. Sign Contract

Our team creates a construction estimate, you review, and once approved the contract is signed to start the project.

5. Provide Schedule

Vivid Living schedules subcontractors and provides the construction schedule to you. We work as your construction manager and general contractor throughout the process.

6. Select Materials

Let’s choose materials! We will give you recommendations from our preferred suppliers with whom we’ve built relationships, to give you a higher quality of service.

7. Sit Back & Relax

You select your preferences and we get to work finalizing the design, managing the subcontractors, and keeping you updated step by step.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your average project cost?

Since we work with such a wide variety of clients, there really is no “average” project. We price transparently and will create a detailed estimate for your project based on what you need.

What is an “ADU?”

An ADU is a small dwelling on the same grounds as, or attached to, a single-family house. For example, it could be an apartment over the garage, a basement apartment, or a stand-alone house in the backyard. An ADU can be used to house a family member or for additional income through rent.

What does DIY Consult mean?

We understand the challenge of completing projects on your own. Our team can help through education or assistance, including on-site consulting and instruction.

What is “Middle Housing?”

Middle Housing refers to housing options that are not single family homes or apartments. Common examples of Middle Housing include duplexes, triplexes, cottage clusters and Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs. This sector is intended to address our current housing crisis.

What is Universal Design?

Universal design is the design of buildings, products or environments to make them accessible to all people, regardless of age, disability or other factors. The goal is to create an accessible, usable, convenient and pleasant environment for those with diverse needs and abilities. Universal design is good design.

What is "Aging in Place?"

The ability to live in one's own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level. It is important for home designers to have the knowledge and expertise required to design accessible, comfortable and safe spaces so that seniors can live independently and with dignity in their own homes. Here's a great article on some of the features that help people stay in their homes as they age.
