Clear terms, both ways.
- Payment
- The consult fee ($150 for 30 minutes, $225 for 60 minutes) is paid when you book and reserves your designer's time.
- Credit toward your project
- If you sign a Design + Preconstruction agreement with PHR Design Build within 90 days of your consult, the full consult fee is credited toward it. One credit per project.
- Rescheduling
- Reschedule at no charge with at least 24 hours' notice, using the link in your confirmation email or by calling us.
- Cancellations
- Cancel 24 hours or more before your consult for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours are not refunded, but the fee becomes a credit toward a new consult booked within 60 days. Missed consults without notice are not refunded.
- Running late
- Your consult ends at its scheduled time so the next client isn't delayed. If our designer is late, we'll extend your time or reschedule at no charge.
- If we need to reschedule
- If PHR Design Build has to cancel or move your consult, you choose a new time or a full refund.
- In-person consults
- In-person consults take place at your home within our service area. Please have the spaces you'd like to discuss accessible. If weather or an emergency prevents the visit, we'll offer a video session or a new time.
- What a consult is
- A consult is professional advice and design guidance. It is not a construction bid, a formal estimate, or a design deliverable. Any next step, such as a Design + Preconstruction agreement, is proposed separately in writing.
Common Questions
Before you book.
- Do I need a consult before hiring PHR Design Build?
- No. The consult is optional, paid advisory time with a designer. If you're ready to plan a project, you can start a project inquiry directly at no charge.
- Is it by video or in person?
- Meet by video call or in person at your home within our service area — your choice when you book.
- Does the fee count toward a project?
- Your full consult fee is credited toward a Design + Preconstruction agreement signed within 90 days.
- What happens after the consult?
- You leave with clearer direction and answers to your questions. If a project makes sense, we'll recommend a next step — usually a project consultation or a Design + Preconstruction agreement — in writing. There's no obligation to continue.
- Is this a bid or an estimate?
- No. A consult is professional advice and design guidance. Pricing for construction comes from a written scope, which is what Design + Preconstruction produces.
