Our Collaborative Design Process

A custom designed piece of furniture is made for you, so you get to be part of the design process and the growing story of Fedarko Furniture & Design. Our step-by-step collaborative design process ensures satisfaction with the final product.

Step 1 - Initial Meeting: Each engagement begins with a face-to-face meeting or phone discussion. Ideally, this meeting is held at the customer’s home or location where Aaron can view the final furniture location. Measurements are taken and design options are discussed.

Step 2 - Design Sketches and Proposal: After the initial meeting, Aaron produces several design sketches and a detailed price proposal. A second meeting is held to discuss the proposal and fine-tune design details. The fee for this service is normally $150*.

Step 3 - Modeling: Once a design has been selected and refined, Aaron highly recommends that a full-scale cardboard model be created. The model is delivered to the customer and used to fine-tune size and proportions. In cases where full-scale model production and delivery are impractical, a smaller scale model and digital photos are used. The fee for this service is normally $200*.

Step 4: Final Design/Build Agreement: Our agreement includes final design details, price and estimated shipment or local delivery date.

* Design proposal and modeling fees are non-refundable. These fees serve as credits toward the final furniture price if the customer elects to proceed with the order.
