Is this for you?
You purchased a Kitchen and Bath: Plan and Finishes Only Package, started the project, and then decided you were in over your head. You have decided you want Paradigm Interiors to take over the project management aspects for you.
What's Included?
Step 1: Re-initiation. Paradigm Interiors will need to get reacquainted with your project. First we will talk to you about the current state of your project. Will will review your plans and come on-site to connect with your trade professionals. ($500 re-initiation fee + 2 hours)
Step 2: Project Spreadsheet. Paradigm Interiors will create a project management spreadsheet for your specific project. (4 hours)
Step 3: Procurement. After the design plan and project status has been reviewed, Paradigm Interiors will take over the ordering and procurement process. We schedule all items requiring freight delivery to arrive in the receiving warehouse as close together as possible to minimize storage time. Our warehouse inspects all items for damages and accuracy. Any items that do not require freight delivery will arrive at Paradigm Interiors and our team will inspect the item for accuracy and damages. Paradigm Interiors handles any returns or replacements for you. After inspection, we will deliver your items to the appropriate trade professionals for installation. We also take any textiles to the window treatment work room and/or upholsterer for fabrication, pick them up once they are made, and deliver them to the appropriate installers. We track and coordinate the receiving, installation, and delivery of all furniture, finishes, equipment, and accessories in a logical and practical manner. (8 hours)
Step 4: Demolition and Construction. Paradigm Interiors will schedule and coordinate with the construction and trade teams so that each trade is scheduled in a logical and timely manner minimizing your "down time." We make regular site visits during the construction phase and maintain constant contact with all trade professionals involved in the project so that we can address any questions about the design plan that may arise. The goal of trade professionals, including general contractors is to execute the plan in a way that is consistent with local codes so that your home will pass inspection if a permit is required. Often, they will find the quickest and least expensive solution to a problem. They are less concerned about the integrity of the aesthetics and functionality of your project. This is perfectly acceptable for a typical project. However, you have sought the services of an interior designer, which means that you want something beyond the typical. It is our goal at Paradigm Interiors to give you an extraordinary home with our award winning design standards. Therefore, our role in project management is to find creative solutions to problems that will maintain the integrity of the aesthetics and functionality of your project. (20 hours)
Step 5: Delivery & Installation Day. Once construction has concluded, Paradigm Interiors will schedule the delivery and installation of all non-construction items, such as window treatments, art, furniture, and accessories. We will try to limit this to 1-2 days, but on occasion this may take longer. (4-8 hours)
Step 6: Deficiencies. While Paradigm Interiors vigilantly monitors deficiencies throughout the project, we do a final walkthrough to ensure that everything is installed properly, is in good repair, and meets your satisfaction. All stakeholders and decision makers should be present for the walk-through. If we find any deficiencies, we will provide a satisfactory remediation. (2 hours)
Step 7: Photography. Once all deficiencies have been remedied to our satisfaction, Paradigm Interiors will document the project with "after" photography. On occasion, we may also ask for your permission to have your home published in a local, regional, or national publication. We will be on site for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 2 days depending on the scope of your project. We may also create videos on site to share on our website and social media channels. Your privacy will be maintained to the extent that you require. Prior to this will obtain a photography release. (Non-billable)
Step 8: Project Closure. We will provide you with a beautiful binder with before and after photos, project specifications, construction documents, photocopies of your design boards, care instructions, and warranty information. If you purchased any furniture with Crypton fabric, we will also provide you with a Crypton cleaning kit. (non-billable)
