Professional Design, Without the Friction
You shouldn't have to hire a full-service architect just to update a bathroom or finish a basement. Revive is the professional solution for cosmetic renovations within your existing walls. Built for the pragmatic homeowner, we’ve stripped away the slow, expensive parts of the traditional design process to give you exactly what your builder needs: a clear architectural plan, a realistic 3D visual, and a shopping list you can actually use.
Contractor-ready plans in 3-4 weeks.
One Flat Fee per Room. No hourly billing surprises. Just professional results.
Flexible Measurement Options to Fit Your Project:
Client-Led "Self-Survey" (Included): Perfect for the DIY-savvy or remote homeowner. We provide a comprehensive "Welcome & Measuring Guide" to walk you through capturing your dimensions with confidence.
Professional "Fresh Start" Measure (Available at Checkout): For total peace of mind, let us handle the technical site documentation. We will dispatch a designer to perform a comprehensive 'As-Built' field measure of your space (Available locally in SE Pennsylvania).
The Professional “Fresh Start” Measure: Our 280+ Point Architectural DNA Audit
Don’t build your dream on a foundation of "guesstimates."
When you choose our Professional “Fresh Start” Measure, we don't just pull a tape measure. We perform a forensic architectural audit of your space. Using our proprietary 10-page checklist, we capture 280+ distinct data points—from structural joist spacing and hidden electrical obstructions to minute cabinetry partitions and appliance door clearances.
The Result: We identify the "inch-stealers" before you buy a single cabinet, eliminating the costly "surprises" that derail construction.
Refining "The Master Blueprint" Description
The Master Blueprint (24" x 36" PDF): Your renovation roadmap on a single, professional architectural sheet. Using either your provided measurements or our professional site survey data, we design to NKBA standards, ensuring compatibility with major retailers and semi-custom partners. Includes fully dimensioned floor plans, elevation views, and electrical rough-in notes.
Photorealistic 3D Modeling: Eliminate the guesswork. We provide high-quality 3D views right on your blueprint sheet so you can see how colors, textures, and lighting work together before construction begins.
The "Click-to-Buy" Spec Book: A digital shopping list (8.5" x 11" PDF) for your tablet or printer, featuring photos, prices, and direct links to in-stock items from major retailers. Locals (Southeastern PA): Includes optional direct handoff to our cabinet partner, Century Cabinetry.
Builder "Installation Notes": We include specific installation notes covering design intent—like tile alignment, niche heights, and mounting specs—so the finished product matches the rendering exactly.

Elevate Your Design Experience
Ensure a seamless transition from plan to reality. Enhance your Revive package with these specialized technical and visualization tools.

CHOOSE YOUR QUANTITY:
Standard (2 Sets): Best for simple cosmetic updates. Includes one set for the Homeowner and one master set for the General Contractor.
Expanded (4 Sets): Recommended for Kitchens & Baths. Adds dedicated copies for the Plumber and Electrician so they have their own technical rough-in sheets without fighting over the master set.

Structural & Mechanical Forensics: We map "invisible" infrastructure, including floor joist sizing/direction, plumbing penetrations, and hidden electrical obstructions.
Precision Cabinetry Mapping: We document every partition and appliance clearance to the fraction of an inch—essential for ensuring your new layout fits perfectly within your existing walls.

For Contractors & Property Investors
Your Outsourced Design Department
Do you have a client (or a flip) stuck on design decisions? We act as your professional design arm to get the project moving. By providing construction-ready documentation and high-end visuals, we turn indecisive homeowners into confident buyers, allowing you to get to work faster.
The Problem We Solve:
Eliminate Decision Paralysis: We provide homeowners with photorealistic 3D renderings that finalize the "look" before you start.
Reduce Lead Times: Unlike traditional designers, our 'REVIVE Packages' specify Retail-Ready materials or Semi-Custom Cabinetry (via our local Pennsylvania partner, Century Cabinetry) to keep your schedule on track.
Expert Site Documentation (Local PA Only): For local projects, our Professional Site Survey add-on provides a comprehensive 'As-Built' field measure of the site. We verify cabinet fitment and plumbing locations with professional accuracy to ensure your install goes smoothly.
The "Builder-Friendly" Difference: We don't just provide mood boards; we provide Technical Document Sets. Your crew gets a finalized architectural layout and a "Click-to-Buy" material list, eliminating the "guessing game" on-site.
The Result: A streamlined renovation process with fewer change orders and no "custom-only" delays. Need help with a larger, structural addition? We handle those too—refer your client to our Custom Design division..
Frequently Asked Questions
-
This package is perfect for the "pragmatic" homeowner. You want a professional look and a functional layout, but you don't want to wait months for custom furniture or spend your budget on luxury, trade-only materials. If you are happy shopping at retailers like Home Depot, Lowe's, or Wayfair, but need a pro to tell you exactly what to buy and where to put it, this is for you.
-
It comes down to walls and location.
Revive Packages: Best for cosmetic renovations where the walls stay in place. We optimize your existing footprint with new layouts and finishes.
Custom Design: Best for structural projects. If you are moving walls, adding an addition, or building a custom home, you need our full architectural scope.
-
Not at all! Since we specify accessible materials from national retailers, we can design for clients anywhere in the United States. Whether you are down the street or across the country, we provide the same high-quality plans and shopping lists via our Self-Survey process.
-
In traditional construction, you pay in installments because the project is a long-term service contract. Revive is different—it is a streamlined product (similar to purchasing software or ordering furniture online). By automating the administrative work, we can offer a professional architectural design package for a flat fee.
-
We offer two options: a Self-Survey (where we guide you through taking your own measurements) or a Professional Laser Measure add-on for clients in Pennsylvania. If you choose the Laser Measure, a technician will visit your home to perform a high-precision scan. Note: Base price includes travel within a 30-mile radius of Phoenixville, PA; surcharges apply beyond that distance.
-
The REVIVE packages focus on cosmetic renovations within your existing footprint. We can swap tubs for showers or reconfigure cabinetry, but moving structural walls or relocating major plumbing stacks falls under our Custom Design division. Contact us for a custom quote if you need structural changes.
-
We include one round of revisions in the flat fee. After we present the initial layout and material selections, you can give us feedback (e.g., "I'd prefer a lighter floor" or "Let's try a different vanity style"), and we will adjust the plan before sending the final package.
-
No. The Revive Package is specifically for projects where old cabinets are being removed and replaced with new cabinetry. We do not offer design services for cabinet refacing or painting. Our expertise is in architectural layout—ensuring that standard cabinet sizes fit perfectly into your space to maximize function.
-
In the Revive Package, we design layouts using standard cabinetry sizes and retail storage units. If you need detailed construction drawings for custom carpentry, please ask about our Custom Design services.
-
For most items (lighting, tile, vanities), we provide a "Click-to-Buy" Shopping List. You purchase the items directly from retailers at your own pace.
Cabinets (Nationwide): We design using universal sizes. You can take our plan to any cabinet retailer, and they will fulfill the order.
Cabinets (Local PA Only): We can hand off your design directly to our manufacturing partner, Century Cabinetry, for a seamless factory-direct order.
-
Yes! We speak "Contractor." Your delivery includes a scaled floor plan with dimensions and notes that any professional builder can read. We specifically specify Retail-Ready materials (standard sizes, prefab shower pans, in-stock vanities) so your contractor isn't stuck waiting 4 months for custom materials.
-
Many cosmetic updates (like swapping cabinets or flooring) do not require a permit, but rules vary by location. While our plans are drawn to professional architectural standards, this package does not include permit submission or coordination. Our drawings are for "Design Intent" and layout purposes.
-
Standard delivery is 3–4 weeks after we receive your confirmed measurements (2-3 weeks for Powder/Laundry). We focus on architectural accuracy and photorealistic quality to ensure your plan is construction-ready the moment you receive it.
-
You will receive high-resolution ARCH D (24x36) PDF files. You can take these to any local print shop, or you can purchase the Contractor Field Set add-on from our store, and we will ship bound, large-format blueprints directly to you or your job site.
-
That is actually the best time to buy! Having a professional set of plans before you interview contractors allows you to get accurate, apples-to-apples bids. Instead of a contractor guessing at the cost, they can price the specific layout and materials we have specified.
-
Our plans are designed to be contractor-ready. However, if your builder needs a formal technical review, we recommend the Contractor Handoff Call add-on. This allows us to walk through the design intent and technical specs with your pro via a 30-minute video conference to ensure a perfect execution.
-
Yes! While standard packages include static 3D renderings, you can upgrade to a 360° Virtual Walkthrough. This allows you to "walk" through the room on your phone, tablet, or computer to experience the scale and flow before construction begins.
-
Yes! We act as your outsourced design department. We know that the selection process can overwhelm homeowners, causing delays. We step in to organize the layout and material lists before you swing a hammer. You get a clear "Ready-to-Build" packet with accurate dimensions, allowing you to stick to your schedule.
-
Because our REVIVE packages are custom, digital architectural products delivered directly to you, all sales are final. Once your "Welcome Guide" or "Final Plan Set" has been emailed, we cannot issue a refund as the service is considered fully rendered. However, your satisfaction is our priority, which is why every package includes one comprehensive round of professional revisions to ensure the design perfectly aligns with your vision. You can read our full Purchase & Refund Policy here.
