Design First. Demo Later. Always.
Why This One Rule Will Save Your Sanity, Budget, and Timeline During Any Remodel
1. Demo Without a Design = Delays, Confusion, and Budget Bombs
Once the walls come down, the clock starts ticking.
Every day costs money—contractors, dumpsters, materials, inspections, delays.
If you’re still deciding between subway tile and zellige, or don’t even know where the outlets are going... you're burning cash by the hour.
Design indecision mid-project is the #1 cause of project delays and budget blowouts.
2. The Layout Dictates Everything—From Plumbing to Permits
The design isn’t just about how it looks. It decides:
Where the pipes need to run
Where the outlets should go
How the lighting is wired
Whether permits are required
What materials need to be pre-ordered
No design = no roadmap.
That’s how you end up with last-minute layout changes, inspection delays, and the classic “uhhh we need to cut another hole in the drywall” moment.
3. Finalizing Design First = Fast, Clean Execution Later
The best remodels move like clockwork because everything’s been planned, ordered, and staged before the first swing of a hammer.
Materials arrive on time
Subcontractors know exactly what they’re doing
You’re not wasting time arguing over grout colors with your contractor on Day 14
A tight design plan = a faster, cleaner, cheaper remodel. Period.
4. Contractors Work Faster When They Don’t Have to Guess
Want to piss off a contractor? Give them vague instructions and change the scope every week.
When you hand us a complete, signed-off design—
we execute. Fast. Clean. Zero confusion.
When you “figure it out as we go,” you’re paying for two things the work and the waiting.
5. Designing First Saves You from Regret Later
Design on the fly and you’ll get this:
“Oh… I didn’t realize the drawer hits the oven handle.”
“Why is the vanity off-center?”
“The toilet paper holder is… where?”
Great design isn’t just about pretty finishes—it’s about
function, flow, and long-term comfort.
When we plan everything down to the inch, you don’t just like your remodel—you live better in it.
