Design Process
We take a very individualized approach with our clients. The first step, unique to Woodard & Associates, is a personal field-tutorial conducted by Carol Woodard. You have the option to take a guided tour of the San Francisco or South Bay Designer Showrooms.
Interior Design Process
Your preferences in style, color, texture, and taste will be revealed, and new design options presented. Information gleaned from this experience is to begin defining the master plan. Personal introductions are made and relationships developed – each one essential for a successful, enjoyable design project. It is all part of the design process at Woodard & Associates.
Next, we determine goals and budgets, develop a plan/timetable, and design a strategy for achieving them. Woodard & Associates knows that your time is valuable and that you want the finest your money can buy; our approach addresses both.
Our Fee Structure
Fee structures are determined by the particular requirements of individual projects. Woodard & Associates pledges to complete your project and leave you knowing that you received more than your money’s worth.
During the initial one-hour complimentary meeting, pay arrangements are reviewed and provided there is a good fit, a letter of agreement is signed. Typically, compensation to Woodard & Associates, Inc. includes a base hourly Design Fee in addition to the cost-plus system of billing for furnishings and materials. This structure accounts for research, design time, consulting and project management.
If remodeling is required, you may wish to bring in your own architects and contractors to perform the work. However, Woodard & Associates can refer you to many respected craftsmen who are part of their team and can give the same care and attention to detail that Woodard & Associates provides. Upon your request, you may make arrangements to have Woodard & Associates oversee contracted installation and construction.
