How long does a typical Education project last?

While each project is unique, there are some typical times to expect for your general design and construction schedule.

Consultation

1 - 2 Weeks

First, our team leader will review your goals and present a design proposal. The design cost is generally eight to ten percent of your construction estimate.

Initial Design Review

2 - 4 Months

Next, our designers will ask about your overall goals for the home, including whether the renovation will cover both the interior and exterior. They will also inquire about your preferences for an open plan, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms needed, and if new windows and doors are required.

Schematic Design

1 - 3 Months.

At this stage, we’ll measure your house to create as-built drawings to launch the design. We will review pros and cons of different layouts and options. Depending on the complexity of the desired design, we’ll create 3D renderings to help you visualize the changes. Finalizing the overall design may take one or two meetings. Once final, we will provide a targeted construction estimate.

Design Development

2 - 4 Months

Our designers will propose selections based on your inspirations. Cabinetry is the main selection that sets the stage. Other key selections that contribute to a cohesive look: appliances, countertops, backsplash, faucet, sink, lighting, and cabinet hardware.

Permitting and Approvals

2 - 4 Months

As you finalize selections, our designer will be creating construction drawings to submit for a building permit. In D.C., the submission and approval process can take several months (it is a little shorter in Maryland and Virginia).

Construction ( Typical )

3 - 8 Months

Once we secure the permit, we will start demolition and move into framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall etc. The punch list of small items is the last segment. The timeline to completion depends on structural complexity and if an addition is involved. After that, you will be enjoying your beautifully renovated home.

Total Project Time : 7-16

7 - 16 Months
