If you value a well-illuminated space and want to ensure the lighting is designed, installed, and controlled properly, then you’ll want a lighting expert on your design team. We tailor the layers of light, fixture locations, fixture specifications, and type of lighting control based on the architectural aesthetic of the space and your specific lighting preferences.

The earlier the better! When you have settled on a floor plan and furniture plan with your architect, interior designer, and/or contractor, it’s a good time to bring in a lighting designer. We will work with your design team to integrate the architectural lighting into the overall design.

We'll provide you with a design fee estimate based on the scope of work and then send you a monthly invoice for our work completed in the previous month.

Based on our experience working on a wide variety of residential projects with diverse design teams, the needs of every project and client is unique. Depending on the level of finish, the number of meetings requested, the project schedule, the number of design changes, and the amount of integrated lighting details, some projects require more hours of design and coordination than others. We believe it is only fair to charge for the actual time spent on the project.

We can provide a fixed fee for commercial projects upon request.

For full-service lighting design projects, our contract is typically directly with the client. On occasion, the client prefers that their contractor, architect, or interior designer manages all of their consultants’ contracts so we are open to that as well.

Often times, a contractor's initial lighting fixture budget is extremely low, even for luxury new-construction residences. We will present you with a realistic lighting fixture budget based on your lighting preferences and your home’s level of finish. We stand behind our designs and lighting fixture specification recommendations and know that our clients will appreciate the value good lighting brings to their everyday life.

The electrician typically purchases the light fixtures and is therefore able to coordinate the fixture delivery and installation as the fixtures are needed at the site. We always review the fixture quote and/or fixture submittal package to ensure the fixtures are ordered properly.

For smaller projects, we can request a light fixture quote from a local distributor and then send it to you to place the order directly. We can also recommend an electrician, if needed.

Yes, we have worked on a number of projects nationwide and in Mexico and are positioned to take on out-of-town projects upon request. Most of our work can be completed remotely so we typically only visit the job site twice during the course of a project. The first time is during construction to ensure the fixtures are located according to the lighting plan and that the electrician and general contractor fully understand the lighting plan, integrated lighting details, and installation requirements for each fixture type. The second time is at the very end of the project to aim the light fixtures and tweak the light levels on the lighting control system.
