STREAMLINING THE DESIGN/BUILD PROCESS
OUR VISION
At ASPEN EFFICIENT DESIGN SOLUTIONS we believe in transforming spaces through innovative design. Our approach focuses on streamlining the design/build process from conceptual design to finished projects, ensuring efficiency and quality.
Typically a 1-3 hour meeting discussing the Design Intent and project scope preferably on site.
At this stage we may have basic input on space planning, proper material and finish use, etc.
This is when we dive into the project based on sketches and/or architectural drawings (elevations, plans), and on our initial discussion on Design Intent.
At this point we typically visit the site (if possible) and confirm "as built" dimensions and building details including framing, plumbing, electrical, mechanical locations to avoid any installation problems and to identify any potential issues with design and installation.
Once we have a good understanding of the Design Intent and have agreed on the direction, we start getting into accurate layouts, basic material selections, production & installation details. We begin conceptualizing layouts, finishes, materials, basic dimensions, etc.
At this time we may produce quick 2D and/or 3D sketches clarifying some basic details and dimensions.
After the DESIGN has been signed off on, we make the necessary changes based on site conditions, and begin drafting production drawings including construction and installation details.
At this time we make recommendations on material, hardware, finishes, etc. based on Design Intent, durability requirements, special needs, etc.
We also advise on potential efficiencies that can be made to make sure the client gets the best possible value.
At the end of this phase complete drawing sets are provided including critical detail drawings (2D and/or 3D), hardware specifications, etc.
We will work with Subcontractors, Craftsmen, and installers to clarify all details, coordinate production and installation from start to finish to make sure that the entire process goes as smooth as possible.
We would be glad to recommend vendors from our large network of millwork and cabinet shops, granite and tile installers, machine shops, finishers and cabinet installers.
AEDS is simplifying the process between Architects, Designers and Contractors by working through and efficiently communicating Design Intent, Millwork, Cabinetry and Finish details.
With 35 years of high-end Interior, Millwork and Custom Furniture Design/Build experience, we make sure that Architects' and Designers’ ideas will be perfectly translated into construction details that Contractors and Subcontractors can build from. We carefully review all site conditions and constrains that might impact design details, and provide solutions to make sure that the Design Intent will come to fruition. We look at material and finish selections and provide feedback on the feasibility and offer alternative solutions if needed. We also review and recommend hardware selections as well as design and source custom hardware.
Over the past 35 years we built a large network of highly qualified subcontractors, vendors, millworkers, cabinetmakers, machine shops and suppliers to source just about any part of your project. We have communicated with many subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, tile & stone installers, etc.) making sure that all details come together in a cohesive manner.
AEDS can serve as a liaison between Architects, Designers, Contractors and the Homeowner to make sure that all design/build details and material/finish selections are clearly communicated and understood. We can provide detail drawings, illustrations & renderings and provide samples to manage expectations. We are also happy to offer alternative solutions if desired.
AEDS is all about EFFICIENCY! We love to work directly with homeowners on Interior, Millwork, Cabinetry and Custom Furniture projects, whether it is a remodel or a new build. We look at efficiencies everywhere to make sure that our clients get the absolute most out of their budget in quality and in value. We can provide Conceptual Designs through complete Construction Detail Drawings and 3D Renderings to make sure the Design Intent is as clear as possible.
