The Details
From the first conversation to the final details, we make the design process clear and collaborative. Here’s what you can expect when working with The Spec Edit.
-
I work with residential builders, remodelers, and real estate investors on custom homes, spec homes, and renovations. Whether you’re building for a homeowner or preparing a property for resale, we tailor our design support to your project’s goals.
-
Complete the inquiry form with a few details about your project. From there, we’ll schedule a discovery call to discuss your needs, answer questions, and determine the right scope.
-
The real question is: how can you afford not to? Selections decisions made late or without construction knowledge create change orders, delays, and unhappy clients, and those cost more than bringing selections in from the start. And if you'd rather not include design services in your contract, I'm glad to work directly with your buyers instead. They get the choice, and you get a trusted design partner without the contract complexity.
-
Yes! Your budget and allowances help guide the selections from the start. We consider where to invest, where to simplify, and how to bring everything together without losing sight of your project’s priorities.
-
Timing depends on the scope, the information available, and your construction schedule. We establish a project timeline before work begins and identify the decisions that need to happen first.
-
No. I can help with a single room, a specific selection category, cabinetry elevations, or a whole-home package. Your scope is built around where you need support.
-
Yes, remote support is available across the U.S. On site support is based in Austin, TX and surrounding areas.
-
Our standard selections service provides the product information your team needs to purchase. Ordering, payment, delivery, and installation remain with you and your vendors unless additional coordination is specifically included in your proposal. However, as your design partner, I coordinate directly with your trades on design questions and stay available for field decisions through installation.
-
Yes. Additional support is available to answer design questions, clarify selections with your trades, source alternatives, and update drawings as your project progresses. This can be included in your initial proposal or arranged separately through our on-demand services.
-
Our focus is on the finishes and built-in elements of the home, including cabinetry, tile, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures, paint, and hardware. We do not offer furniture sourcing, decorative styling, or home staging… yet
