From discovery to builder handoff, every Vividly Built project moves through the same disciplined process - designed once in a photoreal digital twin, signed off in VR, then built without surprise. 8–12 Weeks to sign-off 11 /0 Weeks · change orders (featured project) 1:1 Photoreal scale & lighting 5%–10% Typical change-order budget eliminated 01 / Why It Works ## Decisions made in the room, not over a plan set. Most luxury home projects fail in the same way: a homeowner approves 2D drawings and mood boards they cannot fully visualize, construction begins, and the cost of changing one's mind balloons by the day. Mid-construction change orders on luxury projects routinely exceed 5–10% of total budget - and they hurt schedule, trust, and finished quality. Our process inverts that. We resolve every architectural detail, every finish, every fixture, and every furnishing inside a photoreal digital twin before the foundation is poured . You walk every room in VR at full scale and approve what you see. The drawings handed to your builder are no longer best-guess - they are a 1:1 record of a home you have already lived in, virtually. That is why our featured Los Angeles project closed end-to-end in 11 weeks with zero change orders, and why our builders consistently say it is the cleanest set of documents they have ever worked from. 02 / The Phases ## From discovery to delivery, on the same team.

Email the studio or call (310) 776-5480 . Our team typically replies within the same business day. 01 How is Vividly Built different from a traditional interior designer? Most interior design firms hand you mood boards, 2D drawings, and physical samples - then ask you to imagine the result. Vividly Built builds a photoreal 3D digital twin of your entire home, lets you walk every room in VR, and only commits to materials, finishes, and furnishings after you approve them inside that twin. The result is a single source of truth that aligns architects, builders, and homeowners, dramatically reducing change orders and surprises during construction. 02 What does new construction interior design include? At Vividly Built, new construction interior design is a complete, whole-home service: floor plan and layout review, architectural detail (millwork, ceilings, openings), lighting design, every finish and fixture, and the full furnishing and decor plan. Everything is resolved inside a photoreal digital twin so the builder breaks ground with finalized drawings, finalized finish schedules, and a furniture plan already on order. 03 When should I bring an interior designer into a new construction project in Los Angeles? Before architectural drawings are finalized. Lighting, millwork, ceiling detail, plumbing locations, and even window placement are all interior decisions disguised as architectural ones. Engaging Vividly Built at the schematic phase eliminates the most expensive change orders and lets every room be designed inside the digital twin before framing. 04 How long does the design process take? Whole-home interior design for a new construction home typically reaches photoreal sign-off in 8–12 weeks, depending on size and program. Our featured Los Angeles project was resolved end-to-end in 11 weeks, with zero change orders during the build. Larger estates and full architectural-plus-interior scopes typically run 14–20 weeks before construction begins. 05 What is a photoreal digital twin and why does it matter? A photoreal digital twin is a complete, true-to-scale 3D model of your home with every material, fixture, and piece of furniture rendered at photographic quality. Lighting is physically simulated; reflections, shadows, and textures match what the finished space will look like. Because every decision is made inside the twin, the design you see is the design that gets built - no costly mid-construction realizations that something does not look right in real life. 06 Can I see my home in VR before construction starts? Yes. Every Vividly Built project includes a fully immersive VR walkthrough of your finished home before the first wall is framed. You can walk room to room, look up at ceilings, sit on the couch, open cabinets, and experience scale and light at full size. Most clients catch and refine details in VR that they would have only noticed once the home was already built - saving tens of thousands in change orders. 07 Do you handle both interior and exterior design? Yes. Vividly Built provides full-home interior and exterior design as a single, coordinated service. That includes architectural detailing, façade and elevations, landscape integration, hardscape, lighting, finishes, fixtures, custom millwork, furnishings, and decor. One team, one digital twin, one timeline - so the inside and the outside of your home read as one cohesive design. 08 How much does Vividly Built cost compared to a traditional designer? Vividly Built's fees are comparable to other premium full-service interior design firms in Los Angeles. The difference is the savings: because the entire home is resolved in 3D before construction, our clients typically eliminate the largest cost driver of any custom build - mid-construction change orders - which on luxury projects often exceed 5–10% of total budget. Most clients find the visualization process pays for itself many times over. 09 What types of projects does Vividly Built take on? We take on luxury new construction homes, full-home remodels (interior and exterior), and major additions across Southern California, Texas, and select markets nationally. Our average project is a single-family residence with a comprehensive scope - whole-home design, architectural collaboration, and bespoke furnishing - so every space is resolved as part of one cohesive design language. 10 Do you serve homes outside of Los Angeles? Yes. Vividly Built serves projects across Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, Hollywood Hills, Santa Monica, and the broader Southern California region, as well as San Diego, Dallas, and Austin. Our digital-twin process is location-independent - clients walk their finished home in VR from anywhere in the world. 11 Do you work with our existing architect or builder? Absolutely. Vividly Built collaborates seamlessly with your architect, builder, and project manager. Our digital twin becomes the shared reference everyone designs and builds against - reducing miscommunication, RFIs, and rework. We deliver builder-ready drawings, finalized finish schedules, and a complete furniture and decor plan, all coordinated with your existing team. Begin ## Design it once. Build it right.
