Our Design Process

Every extraordinary home begins with a conversation. Our process is designed to be as intentional as the homes we create.

How does the Emerald & Oak design process work?
Our process follows four phases: Discovery, Design Development, Procurement & Execution, and Installation & Styling.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary by scope — renovations typically span 6–12 months, while new construction projects range from 12–24 months.
When should I engage a designer for new construction?
During the architectural planning phase, before construction begins, to ensure interior and architectural decisions are fully integrated.
What is the investment for working with Emerald & Oak?
Design fees begin at $35,000 and scale with project complexity. Furnishing budgets are presented separately.
