CDS acts as the owner's representative, treating every project with the same care and attention as if we were the homeowners ourselves. We understand that, while building their dream home, our clients are often balancing busy careers, family commitments, or travel. They may not be local, or simply lack the time for daily discussions and problem-solving around important details. Whether it’s a small renovation or a complete ground-up build, we provide customized plans designed to meet each client’s unique needs.

Below are some of the standard services we offer.

• We can be involved as early as the architect selection stage, helping to interview architects, designers, and contractors, and reviewing preliminary plans and bids before construction begins.

• Many clients find it challenging to interpret floor plans, elevations, sections, and detailed architectural drawings. We specialize in decoding these plans to ensure that contractors fully understand the scope outlined in their proposals. This proactive approach helps avoid unforeseen costs by ensuring all aspects are accounted for and properly budgeted from the beginning.

• We provide an initial evaluation of your project or plans, offering valuable feedback and highlighting important considerations to keep in mind throughout the process. With our experience, we can help identify potential challenges or design elements you might want to revisit, as well as key insights to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for homeowners.

• With numerous decisions required before and during the renovation process, we offer a comprehensive guide for each space being built or renovated. This helps streamline the decision-making process, transforming what can be an overwhelming task list into a more manageable and organized approach. This schedule ensures that selected finishes, fixtures, and equipment align with required lead times, helping to keep the project on track and enabling the contractor to maintain the established timeline.

• CDS can help bring your vision to life by transforming architectural plans into detailed 3D renderings of your new space. Additionally, we offer design and finish selection services to ensure every detail aligns with your vision. For more information on Design Services….

• We take the time to understand your needs and vision, allowing us to seamlessly coordinate with the contractor to bring your project to life. Through direct collaboration with the contractor and trades, along with multiple site visits, we ensure that every detail is executed to perfection. This helps alleviate the stress and decisions on your end.
