OUR PROCESS

Connected to our Clients throughout the entire process...

At retail REHAB, we are a design consulting  firm that provides our clients with "one-stop"  design and project management services from start-to-finish.  We work in phases, from Design Intent, to Design Detail, to Resourcing & Cost Estimating, to Project Management, to Installations,  all the way through to helping you Merchandise your products in your new space.

Our process of working with you at an hourly rate, ensures integrity with our billing processes.  We provide detailed estimates of our anticipated hours to complete each phase at the very beginning of each project.  You'll know, along the way, where we are in terms of our hours logged and we strive to complete each phase of the project under the budget we set for our services.  When projects get more elaborate, you will know how that affects the design fees.
