Inside the Reider + Co Process
At Reider + Co, we believe extraordinary homes don’t just happen—they’re the result of a thoughtful, well-honed process. Whether we’re designing a multigenerational retreat by the ocean, a boutique hotel in a resort town, or a city residence, our process is what ensures every project balances effortless functionality with a true sense of place.
It’s a clear and defined framework that helps us earn our clients’ trust, making the collaboration more enjoyable from start to finish. It’s also flexible enough to be tailored to each family, property, and project, ensuring one-of-a-kind results every time.
Our approach unfolds in five phases: Discovery, Design, Approval, Implementation, and Installation. Each stage is designed to provide consistent, thorough, and guiding communication, ensuring that clients always feel supported and inspired.
Here’s a look at the five phases that guide our work:
1. discovery
Every project begins with a comprehensive discovery process to understand your lifestyle, design preferences, and vision. We explore everything from functional needs to aesthetic inspirations—inviting you to share imagery that resonates, whether rooted in biophilic design, bold color palettes, or layered textures. From the very start, we work closely to determine how you want your rooms to function, ensuring every decision is rooted in your lifestyle.
2. design
With a clear foundation in place, we develop a holistic design concept. Floor plans, finishes, sustainable materials, custom furniture, and artisanal craftsmanship all come together to create a story unique to your project. Our team curates every element with precision, blending luxury with livability, coastal influences with modern comfort, and ensuring each room feels intentional and beautifully layered.
3. approval
This is the most anticipated stage—presentation day. It’s when you see the full vision laid out: surface materials, finishes, fabrics, furniture, and custom details presented in a way that makes the design tangible. This stage emphasizes alignment, clarity, and confidence, so every detail reflects your goals before moving into execution.
4. Implementation
Once the design is approved, we transition to implementation—where consistent, thorough, and guiding communication becomes essential. We oversee bids, manage orders, coordinate with builders and artisans, and monitor progress at every step. Whether a project is local or remote, our clear and well-defined design process ensures nothing is overlooked. Transparency is central here, and we provide access to a client portal so costs, schedules, and updates are always within reach.
5. Installation
The final phase is when vision becomes reality. Many behind-the-scenes details go into a smooth install process—from a stocked install kit to all the essentials—so that every element is ready for a seamless reveal. Our team is on site to oversee deliveries, styling, and finishing touches, ensuring the installation is as effortless as possible. The result: a stress-free process that ends with a home ready to be enjoyed.
