Every successful home remodeling project starts with careful planning. Too often, Portland-area homeowners seek bids for projects without a defined scope, plan, budget, or timeline, which leads to uncertainty, blown budgets, and missed expectations.
At Highland Ridge Remodeling, our Design Agreement process ensures you have all the right information to make the best design decisions before proceeding with construction. Partner with us, and you’ll gain a clear vision of your project with a tailored design, comprehensive budget, and realistic timeline.

The Design Agreement Process for Portland Homeowners
When you contact Highland Ridge for home remodeling services, the first step is to meet in your home to assess project feasibility and determine if we’re the right fit. We’ll delve into your vision, discuss your desired involvement, and manage expectations concerning timelines and budget. If you agree to proceed with us as your designer, we’ll move on to the Design Agreement phase. Here’s what this five-step process entails.
Step 1: As-Built Measurements
We start by documenting your existing space to create an accurate baseline for designing your remodel. This includes:
- Detailed measurements of the space
- Photos and notes to capture every detail
- Digital floor plans using CAD software
Step 2: Design Options and 3D Renderings
With the as-built floor plan complete, the design phase begins. This is where you’ll get a true sense of what your transformed space will look and feel like. We provide the following:
- New floor plan options tailored to your needs
- 3D renderings to see what your remodeled space could look like
- Collaborative review of the floor plans and renderings to ensure they align with your style, budget, and vision
- Revised plans based on your feedback until we get it just right
Step 3: Material Selections
The finishes and materials determine the quality of your remodeled space. We guide you through the process with these services:
- Expert input from our trusted designers
- Visits to our trade partners’ showrooms, including Contract Furnishings Mart, The Fixture Gallery, and Globe Lighting
- Customized selections that complement your unique taste and lifestyle
Step 4: Construction Documents
Next, we prepare everything needed for permitting and construction. The following documents ensure a smooth transition from design to demolition:
- Permit-ready plans
- Quotes for all selected materials
- Trade partner pricing to ensure accurate estimates
Step 5: Final Proposal
With all selections and costs finalized, we create a comprehensive project package including the following:
- Transparent price contract for your complete confidence
- Access to Buildertrend, our client portal complete with documents, schedules, and more
- All the information needed for permitting and building, delivered in one complete package
If you like what you see, we invite you to sign the Design Agreement. Note that signing does not obligate you to proceed with construction.
