“ They took our ideas and were able to generate several designs for our new house, which we developed together through an iterative process. Throughout the design process, Damian was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. They spent a lot of time helping us think through the approach as well as answering questions. They even helped us find a contractor. Thanks for everything, Damian! Would absolutely work with RT Studio again.”

FAQ
What is the right budget for a custom modern home or renovation?
The single biggest fear clients face is the unknown cost. We solve that fear by creating budget certainty before you invest in full design.
The "right budget" depends entirely on your goals, but our initial engagement is always fixed-fee:
Fixed Fee Project Clarity assessment: We begin with this non-binding analysis for a set fee of $1,000. This delivers a guaranteed, realistic project budget, site analysis, and phased roadmap. It eliminates risk by ensuring your vision aligns with your financial reality before drawing starts.
Tiered Design Plans: Once the Review is complete, our full design services are structured into clear, tiered packages (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Basic, Complete, Premium). This ensures you select the level of service and documentation that precisely matches your budget and complexity needs.
We never want you to be surprised. Start with our fixed-fee review to gain total clarity on your project's cost and scope.
Am I obligated to hire you after the Review?
Absolutely not. It's a standalone product to help you Stop Guessing.
What is the typical timeline for a full custom home?
12 to 18 months total, depending on the scope. The Review provides the earliest and most reliable schedule for your specific scope.
Do you stay involved during construction?
Yes, through our Construction Administration services. We are your advocate for Unwavering Confidence until move-in.
Do you recommend or manage the contractors for my project?
Yes, we help you find the right construction partner, ensuring your design vision is perfectly executed.
Ready to Commit to a Predictable Process?
The Project Clarity Assessment is a standalone, no-risk commitment. You are under no obligation to proceed with our firm beyond this assessment.
