Design Mission Statement:
We take pride in creating a positive design or redesign experience for our clients and extend this positive experience into the comfort of your home. We do this by performing a consultation at your current home where we help you determine what is the best course of action to achieve the enviroment/renovations/designs you desire
Looking at examples of what clients like helps set styles. We recomend collecting clippings prior to meeting with Capital 10!
The Home Consultation:
This is where we meet our client in their home and get to know them, find out what they are hoping to gain from this experience and if they have any questions about Capital 10 Interiors. We will then proceed to start the home evaluation. This process may take 1.5 - 2 hours, maybe even longer for significantly larger homes. We will use our Home Evaluation Handbook to mark off items, ideas & measurements that apply to the project, as well as make additional notes as needed. Prior to this meeting, you may want to collect pictures and/or magazine pages that show us examples of what you would like. We discuss your preferences such as spatial usage, style, colour schemes, general likes/dislikes, as well what service(s) are required to develop the space into your new unique enviroment. We also make recommendations on items that may be needed though out the home if needed, as well as through out the book we will mention if each room will benefit from a Redesign Package. Once the home evaluation is completed, we will sit back down with the home owners and discuss our top 10 recommendations for the home and develop a preliminary game plan.
Phase #2
Step 1: Planning, establishing what the clients want.
Let's consider the principal element of a design: the floor plan. An enormous amount of thought and coordination must go into the floor plan allowing the design to gradually evolve
Architects, Drafters and Planning services are ready to offer their technology to clients but clients can't go to them empty handed. Our job is to DEFINE how they intend to live and CHARACTERIZE the best place in which to do it.
As we develop concepts for a new home, renovation, additions, kitchens or bathrooms we consider what our clients want based on the way they live. Before deciding on a design, making a list of those features they find most valuable to their own style of living. (Read the "Home Plan Questionnaire" at the end of this article.) There is no standard procedure for arranging these ideas: Our approach will reflect the unique circumstances surrounding our clients home life and characteristics of their site.

Using Stock Drawings:
If clients choose a Stock Drawing from a plan book, they will eliminated Schematic and Design Development activities. Again if clients choose a Stock Drawing, their first contact with the design process will occur during preparations to submit for a Building Permit. If this is the case, Capital 10 Interiors may proceed cautiously while reviewing weather or not to be involved in the Design/building process. We may desire to stay on the decorating side of the project and offer the clients our help by the hour if requested.
Step 2: Starting
A good starting point might be rough sketches of a Floor Plan, the most fundamental element in a set of Drawings. Many basic decisions are made while considering a Floor Plan such as site orientation, room layout, wall placement, door types and swings, window types and sizes, electrical and plumbing fixtures, cabinets, and trim package. These are not firm decisions, only a way to TEASE ideas onto paper and begin to arrange our clients thoughts.
A floor plan is a road map of their lifestyle. It's a top view, drawn to scale, showing all the interior features. Capital 10 Interiors will use architectural symbols, which are standard icons, used to represent objects that appear in the home. Bath tubs, showers, sinks, and appliances are all represented by symbols. There are standardized acronyms that also appear on the Drawings but these aren't the main concern. Our concern will be not how to create drawings but to defining our clients lifestyle so they get the home style they need.
Step 3: Proposal Drawings
Proposal drawings will be done using 3D building software called “Sketchup Pro 8” to present building plans, cross cuts, elevations and floor plans. There are several other ways to acquire a home design.
Step 4:Working Drawings:
To obtain permits Capital 10 Interiors will collaborate with a variety of professionals whom we will rely on to complete the working drawings.
