Our Design Process
Where Inspired Design Meets Real-World Living
At BeeTree Homes, we understand that beginning a home renovation can be a mix of excitement and uncertainty. You want to get it right, but with so many choices, it’s hard to know where to begin.
That’s exactly why we’re here.
Our design process is built to guide you through each decision with clarity, care, and experience. If you're remodeling a kitchen, rethinking your layout, or tackling a full-home transformation, we focus on how your home needs to function, flow, and feel—for you.
It All Starts With How You Live Every Day
Our custom home design process doesn’t begin with paint colors or tile samples. It begins with conversations about your routines, your family, your frustrations, and your goals. We ask the kinds of questions that help us uncover what matters most in your home.
As Katrina, our founder, often says:
“You can always change the color of a wall. But the way your home is laid out? That’s where design really counts.”
Our team blends creativity with practicality, making sure your renovation solves real problems and supports the way you move through your space now and in the future.
What Is the Design Process for a Home Remodel?
The design phase isn’t about rushing decisions or checking boxes. It’s where we help you slow down, gain clarity, and feel confident about the direction your project is heading.
Whether you’re planning a kitchen refresh or a full home renovation process, our home remodeling design steps make the experience approachable and empowering.
Here's How We Guide You Through It
Let’s Talk
A Visit to Your Home
Our first visit is about connection and understanding. We’ll walk through your space and have a focused conversation about your goals, vision, and challenges. This is a time to share ideas and explore what’s possible together.
Design Agreement & Measurements
Concept Design & Layouts
Revisions, Together
Finishes & Fixtures Made Simple
When it’s time to make selections, we keep it manageable and meaningful. From countertops and lighting to cabinets and hardware, we walk you through choosing finishes in a home renovation project without overwhelm.
As a featured Cambria partner, we offer access to exclusive, high-quality surfaces.
Scope, Pricing & Paperwork
Construction Preparation
Please note: This timeline may vary depending on how many design ideas you’d like to explore and refine.
How Long Does the Design Process Take?
On average, 6 to 10 weeks. That gives us enough time to listen, explore different layouts, revise as needed, and complete all selections. It’s thorough, but not drawn out, so you’ll be ready for construction with confidence.
Why Work With a Design-Build Firm?
As a trusted design-build contractor in Jacksonville, FL, BeeTree Homes offers a smoother, more unified approach to remodeling. Instead of juggling separate designers, architects, and builders, you get one experienced team working in sync.
Working with a design-build firm saves you time, reduces friction, and keeps your vision intact. And if you’re bringing your own plans to a design-build contractor, we can still help. We collaborate with outside architects and work with existing designs, offering structure and support where you need it most.
