Are you an independent contractor who loves building beautifully-designed projects, but wish the design parts of the process were easier?

• You wish you had more complete and accurate sets of plans for your team and your subs

• You don’t want the headache of buying and tracking all of those fixtures and hardware – you’d prefer to just have it there and ready when you need it! 

• You wish there was someone you could turn to for technical and structural consultation and support

Whether you’re a building novice or a seasoned professional, Bluestem can curate the perfect design services solution for you and your client.

The Bluestem Difference – Custom Design Service Options

• Plans of Existing Structure –  Using Matterport technology, we develop 2D and 3D plans as a base for design exploration. 
• Conceptual Design and Development – We meet with your client to understand their vision, needs and goals. We develop initial design concepts, including sketches and 3D models, then present concepts to the client and gather feedback.  
• Concept Budgeting – We help your client with decision-making by providing estimates right at the concept stage. 
• Design Refinement – We refine the design based on client feedback and provide detailed drawings and models with the updated design. If engineers or other consultants are required, we can help you with that as well. 
• Cabinetry Design and Supply – We guide your client through the process of choosing cabinetry. From budget-friendly options to fully customized pieces, we offer a variety of product lines to meet the needs of your client.  
• Construction Documents – Once the design is agreed upon, we prepare detailed construction drawings for you to use in pricing, permitting and building.  
• Managed Selections Process – Sorting through, ordering and having all of the selections ready when you need them can be a massive undertaking for homeowners and contractors alike. By organizing the shopping and purchasing of fixtures, hardware and finishes, our Managed Selections Process takes the headache out of selections!  
• Field Support –  Every remodel inevitably has design questions that come up at various points during the build. Our design and building experts are available to you if you need them.
