Building Better Homes Together

Great homes are the result of great partnerships.

By bringing design expertise into the process early, we help builders deliver a more seamless experience, a stronger final product, and homes their clients will love living in for years to come.

Successful builds require more than great construction.

They require hundreds of solid decisions, thoughtful planning, and a clear design vision before work begins.

At MINT, we partner with builders across Victoria and Vancouver Island to bridge the gap between construction and design - helping to create homes that are not only beautifully finished, but expertly and thoughtfully planned from the beginning.

With nearly 20 years of experience in the design-build industry, Principal Interior Architectural Designer Alexis Solomon understands the construction process, speaks the language of trades, and knows how to create designs that are both inspiring and achievable.

Helping Builders Save Time and Deliver Better Projects

We collaborate closely with builders, architects, suppliers, and trades throughout the entire project.

Our services include:

  • Space planning and floor plan review

  • Budget allocations and pricing (RFQ’s) for all finishing materials, fixtures and finishes

  • Interior design concepts

  • Material and finish sourcing and selections

  • Lighting, Electrical and Plumbing plans

  • Interior elevations and construction drawings using CAD

  • Fixture and product specifications

  • Procurement coordination of lighting, window treatments and furniture

  • Site visits and design support

  • Client communication and decision guidance

Designed Before Construction Begins

Your time is best spent building, not managing endless design decisions on behalf of your clients or working with Interior Designers who don’t understand the principles of construction.

From concept and feasibility, to budget allocation, to space planning and material selections to detailed construction drawings, specifications, and client communication — we help streamline the process so your team has the information they need, when they need it.

The result:

  • Fewer unanswered questions

  • Fewer last-minute decisions

  • Fewer costly change orders and redo’s

  • A smoother experience for you and your clients

Support From Concept to Completion

The biggest challenges often happen when design decisions are made too late.

We help clients finalize important details early - from layouts and lighting to finishes, fixtures, and materials - so your trades can move forward with confidence.

Clear direction means better planning, better communication, and a more efficient build.
