Getting Started

 

Initial Visit and Consultation

 

Our first task is to understand and listen to what you envision for your new home cinema.  In this meeting, we want to  develop the concept for what your home cinema will look like, the features it will have, and any special goals or objectives you  want to achieve in your new home cinema.  Typically the steps in this meeting are:

• Introduce our company, how we work, show our portfolio and begin discussing your ideas and provide feedback and suggestions
• Review the architectural plans or visit the existing space where the home cinema will be located, making suggestions or recommendations on how best to use the space. We want to make sure the space you have will accommodate the vision of your home cinema. We will discuss any necessary modifications necessary to accommodate the design (if any).
• Discuss our Design Fee and how this fee will be utilized to pay for all of the CAD documentation, project management, and the unlimited on-site visits with trades and all parties related to this project to see it to completion.

 

Preliminary Design

After about a week from our fist initial meeting, we will present you with our Preliminary Design Concept Drawings, created using the latest CAD Design software.  We will also include a photo-realistic 3-D rendering of what we anticipate your new home cinema to look like.  A fabric/color board showing you samples of all the interior elements (carpet sample, wood sample, paint swatch, fabric swatch, etc) will be provided.  It will be from this meeting that we discuss any issues or revisions you would like us to make, if any.

Once the Design has been approved, we can then move forward with creating all of the construction documentation needed for the trades to begin building the room based on the design.  The Construction Documentation consist of the following sets of drawings:

• Framing Set-Details for all wall, floor, ceiling and special elements that the
  Carpenter will need to frame out the room
• Electrical Set-Details for all electrical requirements for the room including
  dimension lighting locations, lighting control system, and a very thorough
  fixture and electrical schedule identifying all zones and  electrical loads in
  the cinema.
• HVAC Set-Dimensioned supply and return location and special suggested
  guidelines for installation and insuring quiet air flow to the room.
• AV Prewire Set-Dimensioned location of all speaker, projector, screen, and
  av equipment rack and specified requirements for install.

 

Construction Phase

We will provide project management services to assist in the coordination of trades and all parties involved on your project to ensure the right steps are taking during the building process. It is crucial that a certain order be established as it relates to each trades involvement in building your custom home cinema. We are available during the entire building process to assist and answer any questions. It is important that we develop a team approach with the project members to make it a success. Project Management time is included in our design fee and is unlimited through the completion of the project.
