Welcome!
Next Level Austin is a full-service design firm known for our client-focused, personalized approach. Specializing in both residential and commercial design, we bring to every project our unique process, clear and distinct work flow, dedicated professionalism, and proven design savvy. At Next Level Austin, you’ll find a team of innovative, passionate professionals ready to transform your space.
After a consultation, we develop a personalized design plan, overseen by a Lead Designer and a Project Manager, and work quickly and seamlessly to transform the concept into reality.
Beginning with a complimentary consultation, we partner with clients, architects, and builders to develop the vision, create the plans, determine selections, and steer the project to completion.
Our design team is available at an hourly rate and on a limited basis for consultations on smaller projects, including home staging, room layouts, and paint color consultations.
1) We’ll conduct an introductory meeting to get to know one another and discuss your project and go over the scope of work that you would like done. We will ask questions to help us understand your primary goals and determine your desired aesthetic. Please provide inspirational images and your own input to help us ensure that we can turn your vision into reality. After our meeting, we will share our project notes for you to amend or add your own comments. At this time, we will provide you with a copy of our contract for you to look over.
2) We will provide an approximated cost projection after receiving your feedback. This estimate will normally be for our design time only, as the cost for materials and furniture can vary widely depending on your taste and budget. If you decide to work with us, we will send you an electronic contract for you to sign. We require a retainer to be paid before we begin work. The size of the retainer varies with the size of the project, but is usually in the range of $1500-5000. Janice is in charge of the overall project and all selections, but the Project Manager is in charge of the day-to-day operation of the project. In order to save you money, we try to limit the instances where both Janice and the Project Manager are present.
3) Our work begins. If you are using a builder and/or architect, we will share our notes with them. If you need an architect or builder, we have several that we work with regularly that we would be glad to recommend. Using your notes and preferences, we will begin making selections. This is a back-and-forth process, ensuring that you love our choices as we proceed with the project. We receive trade discounts on many different materials and pieces of furniture which we share with you.
4) We coordinate the project: purchases, shipments, appointments, returns, storage of materials and selections, elevations, CAD drawings, tile layouts, lighting, electrical, art, furniture, window treatments, hardware, and whatever else your project may require. If you have one, we will coordinate with your builder every step of the way. Our team will work with you as your project proceeds to make sure that you are completely satisfied.
5) Installation: once your items are received at our affiliate warehouse, we will manage their installation using our preferred professionals. Our team oversees all of the details to ensure that everything is installed perfectly, and if any issues arise, we will correct them quickly and competently.
We offer our services for new home builds as well. Please call or email us for details. info@nextlevelaustin.com or (512) 499-8385.
