Sourcing Your Design Vision
The journey begins with finding the perfect pieces that not only match your style but also fit seamlessly into your space.

This is the essence of Design Vision’s concierge role in your Full-Service Interior Design project.

This proactive approach helps to keep your project on track and ensures that it is completed on time and within budget.
Transparent Communication at Every Stage
In the procurement process, we handle any hiccups that may arise during delivery, including following up with manufacturers. This can involve quite a bit of time, often several phone calls and maybe even dozens of emails, as we persist through what can sometimes feel like a challenging process. We keep you informed with weekly updates, ensuring you’re always in the loop and know what to expect.

We handle any warranty issues that may arise, keeping you informed every step of the way and ensuring a seamless experience.

The Procurement Process
Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved in managing the procurement process:
- Find products or design custom items that fit the approved design plan and budget with respect to style, scale, size and condition.
- Request finish samples or fabric swatch cuttings, to verify colors and finishes if necessary.
- Check options, specifications, and availability of all items within the context of the project timeline.
- Request pricing quotes — a process which involves round after round of communication with vendors and manufacturers to confirm pricing and ensure availability.
- Present items to client for final approval and payment.
- Create Purchase Orders, purchase items from manufacturers and make all payments.
- Arrange shipping and freight deliveries, confirming all addresses are correct.
