FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The LoCal does a comprehensive study to price out the job rate using hourly rates and billed in full flat-fees. We charge monthly based on project duration. Our design fees for full service design are generally around 5-8% of the total construction budget. Although we do offer concept-only and design-only packages.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our process starts with a discovery conversation, whether remote or in person, and is sometimes coupled with an in-person site walk. This is where we learn more about you, your lifestyle, your goals for your home, and your general needs. From here, we work on a scope and proposal and review it and out contract together via video call. Once reviewed and signed, we begin your official onboarding and project launch.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
With over 10 years of experience in multi-family and high-end residential I have worked on numerous project types; from theme parks and hotels, to churches and dental offices, to million-dollar homes on the coast - I have had a chance to design for some of the top professional companies in the industry. I have a Masters of Interior Architecture from the Interior Designers Institute in Southern California. As well as a Bachelors degree in Interior Design.
