Active Project #4: Davidson, NC

PHASE 1
This is the initial phase where we have conversations with our client to discuss the challenges they’re facing with their home and brainstorm solutions leveraging our design and planning team.

What challenges is our client leveraging us to solve?

  • Convert an unfinished basement into a functional, code-compliant living area.

  • Integrate new HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.

  • Improve layout with framed walls and defined spaces.

  • Ensure proper insulation, ventilation, and lighting.

  • Deliver durable finishes suitable for below-grade conditions.

  • Manage permits, design, and construction efficiently.

PHASE 2
(Design & Planning)

Areas we're renovating and details we'll work on  

Basement Build-Out:

  • Framing of new walls, soffits, and room divisions

  • Door openings and structural improvements


Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing:

  • New HVAC system and ventilation

  • Electrical subpanel and recessed lighting

  • Plumbing for bathroom and optional wet bar

Interior Finishes:

  • Insulation and full drywall installation

  • Interior doors, trim, and paint

  • Vinyl plank flooring throughout


Bathroom Installation:

  • Shower, vanity, and fixtures

  • Accessories and final connections


Project Management & Completion:

  • Permits, planning, and supervision

  • Final cleaning and turnover

During our initial visit, we walked through the home to better understand the clients’ vision and identify key opportunities. That walkthrough laid the foundation for a focused and functional design plan.

We developed 2D layout options to explore different configurations and improve flow and functionality. These drawings guided our next steps in planning.
