Your designer hands you a construction-ready set — dimensioned plans, elevations and specifications the trades build from — plus photoreal renderings and a render video of the finished space. The mood board, the physical samples and every material selection come with it, so the room you approve is the room you get.
Straight from the studio: how a PHS project moves from the first conversation to a space you can see, before a single tool comes out.
“All About the Design Phase,” from the PHS design studio in Winnipeg.
Most renovators hand you off between a designer and a contractor. At PHS they're the same team, so nothing is lost in translation. Here's how the design phase runs, first meeting to final review.
We meet in person to discuss how the space should function, review the ergonomics of the room, and begin identifying your design style using inspiration photos.
We confirm the proposed layout and overall functionality of the space while presenting an initial mood board to guide the design direction.
We begin exploring finish materials together and, when possible, visit suppliers so you can see and feel the products that may be used in your project.
We confirm the overall design direction, colour palette, and the majority of the materials for the space.
All finishes and materials are finalized to ensure clarity and avoid surprises during construction.
Our drafting team prepare detailed construction drawings, and we create realistic 3D renderings so you can visualize how the completed space will look.
We review the completed plans together, make any final adjustments if needed and confirm everything before the project moves into construction.
Every PHS design produces the same set. You sign off on each one, and the crew builds from exactly what you signed.
Colours, materials, textures and fixtures on one board, with real samples to hold up to your own light, so the look is settled before anything is drawn.
Construction documents that turn the design into precise layouts, dimensions and specifications, with every cabinet and fixture keyed to a material.
The same drawing rendered with your real materials, lighting and layout — photoreal stills and a render video that walks the finished room, while the old one is still standing.
Your designer stays with the project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. At PHS, that’s one of three people.
A business-trained designer with eight years in residential design and construction. A graduate of the Asper School of Business, she ran her own design firm for five years and has designed 200+ kitchens, before bringing that operational savvy to the PHS design-build team.
Fast-paced design-build projects that demand strong design, clear communication and real collaboration.
Fifteen years in interior decorating, space planning and visual presentation. Before PHS she led visual presentation for a major furniture retailer; in three years here she has led 100+ design projects, and was the designer behind two of PHS’s award-winning renovations.
“Design is the intentional creation of environments where beauty and function work together.”
A graduate of the Interior Decorator program at Red River College Polytechnic, who joined PHS through her 2026 field placement and stayed on as a Junior Interior Designer. She works the full design process: client meetings, site measurements, space planning, floor plans, material selections and documentation. She also brings nearly five years of client-service experience to how a project feels to live through.
“Good design starts with understanding the lifestyle of those occupying the space. The goal is to create a space that’s not only visually appealing, but feels as if it was tailored to you.”
Four clear stages, one crew, and a check-in every week — with nothing torn out until you've seen it in 3D and said yes.
We come to you, measure the space and talk through goals, style and budget. Nothing is quoted until we have stood in the room.
Layouts, materials and a full 3D render, so you walk it on video before we build. The same designer stays with you to the final walkthrough.
One crew, demo through installation, every trade coordinated in-house. A Red Seal foreman runs the site.
We inspect together, room by room. You sign off when you are happy, not when we are finished. That signature starts your 2-year warranty.

PHS is a family-owned Winnipeg company. The people who design your renovation are the same people who answer for it, from the first sketch to two years after we hand back the keys.
We started PHS in 2021 to bring older Winnipeg homes back to life, and to make a renovation done right something a normal family can actually afford.
Your warranty starts the day you sign off that you're happy, not the day we drive away.
