Advice at the moments it matters most
Not every project calls for full-service design. Project Consulting brings an experienced second opinion to a project already underway, reviewing plans, evaluating a floor plan before it’s finalized, weighing in on material and finish decisions, or troubleshooting a design that isn’t quite working.
We bring the same Living Home Framework™ lens to a consulting engagement, sized to fit the decisions you actually need help with.
Guidance while you manage your own project
For homeowners working directly with an architect, builder, or renovation contractor who want an independent design perspective before key decisions are locked in.
Design support on a single project
For builders who want a design review on a plan, help guiding a client through selections, or a fresh approach to a design problem, without committing to an ongoing partnership.

What happens at each step, and what to expect
Focused guidance at the decision points that matter, with clear next steps after every session.
Introductory Call
A complimentary 20-minute conversation to learn about your project and what you have in mind. It gives us both a chance to confirm the project is the right fit before any commitment is made.
Listening to your goals, scope, and timing, and letting you know whether the project is one we can take on.
Whether to move forward.
A clear sense of how we work, and what the next step would involve.
Discovery: The Project Consultation
Discovery begins with the Project Consultation, quoted per project and credited toward a larger engagement if you move forward within 30 days. We talk through where the project stands, the decisions ahead, and where an outside perspective will help most.
Understanding the project, where it stands, and the decisions ahead.
The scope of the consultation.
