To Help Bring Your Vision To Life
Our Process
Trust the Process
Nine on Main is a full-service commercial and residential design studio offering Cabinetry and Interior design services. We work with homeowners and business owners at all levels.
Nine on Main also offers Interior Design services including certified Kitchen and Bath design, cabinet design and finish and fixture selection. We work with our customers to create a cohesive design aesthetic that suits their style, budget and homelife; delivering renderings, tile detail drawings, cabinet elevations, lighting plan, and a comprehensive Finish Schedule.
Team Approach
The “Team Approach” is a proprietary process, developed by the Nine on Main team and our construction partners. The purpose of this process is two-fold: First, to use design iteration to develop, refine and detail your project; Second, to provide periodic “cost-to-build” evaluations to ensure that the design we are developing remains within your budget.
We have broken down the Team Approach into a four-phase process.
1. Concept Design
Our goal during this phase is to understand your vision and your budget. We take time to understand your lifestyle, budget and personal aesthetic to narrow down a style for your new home.
A budget evaluation is conducted by our General Contracting partner to determine if your budget will work with the proposed concept.
2. Preliminary Design
Our designers will take your vision and turn it into a proposed floor plan. You will be able to review and provide feedback during a red-line meeting with your designer. Once you are satisfied with the result, you will sign-off on the design.
With a defined floor plan the GC will take another look at your budget and provide a Level 1 Estimate. This estimate takes into account total square footage and a general idea of finishes to create a potential price range for construction.
3. Detail Design
The next step is to detail the floor plan by defining the window and doors, developing a lighting and electrical plan, completing framing diagrams and cross sections as needed; and outlining any special conditions.
The Interior Designer will work to create a finish schedule, complete with budgets for each item. You will work with the design team to choose flooring, tile, countertops, cabinet styles and finishes, lighting and plumbing fixtures and even paint colors.
With a detailed floor plan and a finish allowance, the GC is able to conduct a more thorough Level 2 Estimate. This estimate will account for all divisions of construction, from demo to final punch and will include the square footage and budget allowances for all known material selections. Although this estimate does not represent a proposal, it should provide you with a clear expectation of the cost-to-build.
4. Construction Planning
Your Interior Designer will organize all of your selection specifications into a “Finish Schedule” which will be included with the permit-ready plans. At the end of this phase you will have everything you need to start construction.
If you are ready to start construction then you may choose to have the General Contractor confirm all material and subcontractor pricing and provide you with a Construction Proposal. All that is left to do is apply for a permit, and schedule a start date.
Our streamlined “Team Approach” process results in a more thorough and thoughtful design that takes into account the interior design, finish selections and costs, and product lead-times to ensure that there are no surprises when it comes time to start construction.
OUR VALUES
How We Work
What sets one design firm apart from another? Experience? Creativity? How about Process? Nine on Main offers decades of combined design and construction experience, we have as much creativity as anyone can muster, but what sets us apart is found in HOW we do our work.
Curiosity
Our process starts with our customers. We take care to understand you and your needs, how you live and what your dream home looks and feels like.
Iteration
We work with you to develop your project design through an iterative process of refinement. With each pass, your project becomes more and more detailed, a true “design development”.
Mindfulness
Too often designers make the mistake of pushing their aesthetic onto the customer. Our philosophy is to develop a design that starts with YOU. This includes being mindful of your taste, lifestyle and budget. We work to create a design that keeps all your criteria in mind.
Collaboration
It is our team-based approach that truly sets us apart from our competitors. Having a cabinetry and interior designer under one roof along with a General Contractor gives you access to the expertise of all areas of residential design and construction.
Organization
We have found that the key to a successful construction process is a thorough and well-organized Plan-to-build. By the end of the design process, you will have everything you need to submit for permit, purchase materials, and plan for construction. Permit-Ready Drawings, Selection and Finish Schedules, Cabinet Elevations and Purchase Order, and even a competitive Quote to Build should you desire it.
Fun
This process should be fun and exciting. We strive to take the pretentiousness out of design and maintain a light and optimistic tone throughout the process.
Working with us is easy thanks to our streamlined process. We pride ourselves on excellent communication so that you always feel in the loop with where your project stands. Our team will provide you with frequent updates from concept to completion.
We will help you utilize your space as effectively as possible. We will ask questions to learn more about your lifestyle and make recommendations on how to improve the functionality of your primary living areas. Many people believe they have to sacrifice aesthetics for functionality, but that isn’t the case. An area can be both stunning and functional simultaneously. That is our goal.
