Why Nuance

Why clients chooseNuance Design Build.

One team designs, prices and builds the work, so the budget is set early and design choices account for construction.

  1. Black-painted staircase with turned balusters rising to a white-railed landing, an arched mirror in the hall beyond

    A clear, transparent process

    A set process keeps you informed at every stage, from first consultation to final walkthrough, so you always know what comes next.

  2. Three lit wall niches holding sculptural pieces above a cream bouclé armchair, beside a fluted panel and a marble wall sconce

    Thoughtful, modern design

    Distinctive, refined design that is still practical to build. Each choice is weighed on how it looks and how the room gets used.

  3. A tradesman kneeling at the foot of a new black stair in a long, sunlit room with oak floors

    Skilled craftsmanship

    An experienced construction team that is exact about the details: cabinet alignment, grout lines, edge finishing and how materials meet.

  4. White upper cabinets with crown moulding over sage-green Shaker lowers, brass pulls and a white quartz counter

    One project manager

    You deal with one project manager, who coordinates the trades, manages the schedule and keeps you posted through handover.

Our process

From first callto final walkthrough.

Every project follows the same path, with one project manager throughout. Here, a primary ensuite in Thornhill goes from rendering to handover.

Design rendering of the ensuite: a glass shower behind a half wall with a niche, a pale oak vanity under an arched brass mirror, and a makeup counter

01Layout, tile, cabinetry and fixtures, chosen and rendered before anything is priced or built.
