3.0 Services

Hamlin and Park Design will offers a wide range of interior design services to meet any client's
needs in southwest Claremont:

 On-site Consultations: Convenient consultations for busy homeowners and professionals


are offered at the home or office. The consultation will include all necessary product
samples for clients for review, thus eliminating the hassle of having to visit numerous stores
for different products.

 Project Survey and Analysis: Each site is inspected for its layout and function. In-depth
client interviews are conducted to determine all necessary requirements for the project. This
information is then analyzed for design concepts and space planning.

 Design Concepts: The design concept can begin with a treasured piece of fabric or
furniture, or simply a blank page. The goal is to attain the "look" and "feel" a client wants,
from "light and airy" to "rich and elegant" to "comfortable and cozy." Each project develops
its own flavor from the unique selection of fabrics, furniture, and finishes.

 Finishes and Furnishings: There are many factors to consider when selecting furniture
and finishes. Hamlin and Park Design's expertise and guidance helps clients make the best
selections for their needs. Creativity is also applied in the selection process to create the
desired look.

 Custom Designs: Custom furniture, built-ins, and window treatments are also available
through the talents of Hamlin and Park Design. Detailed drawings are prepared to help
clients visualize the finished piece.

Design assumes all responsibility for coordinating the purchasing, delivery and installation of
the entire project.

 Project Coordination & Management: Some projects require a certain sequence of


installation for maximizing results. Hamlin and Park Design coordinates all aspects of these
projects to ensure smooth transitions from each phase until project completion.

Due to the strengthening of the area's economy, more southwest Claremont homeowners are

The following is the financial plan for Hamlin and Park Design.

7.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following
table as annual assumptions. The monthly assumptions are included in the appendix. From the
beginning, we recognize that collection days are critical, but not a factor we can influence
easily. At least we are planning on the problem, and dealing with it. Interest rates, tax rates,
and personnel burden are based on conservative assumptions. Some of the more important
underlying assumptions are:

 We assume a strong economy, without major recession.


 We assume, of course, that there are no unforeseen changes in the economy that would
change our estimations.
