Can we go shopping together?
We prefer to handle all the work that is involved with selecting
furniture and fixtures for our projects. We do not typically shop at retail
stores when refurnishing your home. We prefer to narrow down the
options and then present the best ones to you. Rather than bring you
along and overwhelm you with the crazy amount of options that are potentially not in your price range.

Do you project manage construction jobs?
LMI does not project manage construction jobs. We can fully design a
space and create a spec book, but it is up to you to hire a contractor to
oversee construction. We will do site visits to make sure the design is
being executed according to plan.

Rather than billing at an hourly rate for the design process, our design
fees are based on a flat flee model. This model gives our clients a better
idea from the beginning of what will be required to do the best job on
their behalf.
