The Process
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.
-
We 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 our 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.

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.

Yes. We can work from current plans, measurements, photos, and project information supplied by you and your team. Any in-person support is discussed separately based on location and scope.

-
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
