The hours you can’t hire.
Space planning, elevations, millwork, FF&E specification — the production work between your concept and your client presentation, done in your style and under your brand. Fixed fee per project.
What you get
Space planning — layouts resolved and drawn, from your sketch, program, or a site survey.
Elevations & millwork — dimensioned drawings your fabricator can price from.
FF&E sourcing & specification — sourced to your vendors and your budget, documented in your format.
Presentation-ready output — in your title block, your templates, your standards. We onboard to them once and keep them.
This is the judgment work
Plenty of services will draft what you’ve already decided. Design assistance is different: we carry decisions forward when you want us to. Resolve the awkward corner, propose the millwork detail, pick the three options worth your time. We use production tools as needed for the accepted scope. A named designer is answerable for what leaves the studio. You stay the designer of record and the final word.
Brief once. Not forty times.
Send the project the way you’d brief your own designer — a markup, a voice note, a survey. We ask the right questions up front, then it’s two revision rounds, not a regeneration marathon. When you have a question, you talk to a person — usually Michelle.
Where it sits
Many firms start with the Accuracy Pass or a rendering, then move real production here once they’ve seen the standard. Firms running steady volume can shift from per-project fees to a monthly retainer — same work, reserved capacity. See how pricing works.
The boundary, in writing
Your client relationship is yours. Direct end-client contact is excluded unless the accepted written scope authorizes it. Deliverable ownership, branding, and usage rights follow the signed agreement and the project record.
What is white-label design assistance?
Space planning, elevations, millwork, and FF&E specification produced in your style and under your brand, at a fixed fee per project. You remain the designer of record. Astratto produces under your direction, in your templates, after a one-time onboarding. Direct end-client contact is excluded unless the accepted written scope authorizes it.
Do you use AI?
We use production tools as needed for the accepted scope. Unreviewed output is not released to you or your client. A named designer is answerable for everything that leaves this studio. You stay the designer of record and the final word.
Will my client see Astratto’s name?
Default is white-label: files ship in your title block and standards. Direct end-client contact is excluded unless the accepted written scope authorizes it. Branding, attribution, publication, and portfolio use follow the signed agreement. A third party’s identity is not used publicly without the required permission.
What do you need to start?
A real project brief: a markup, voice note, survey, or program. Michelle reviews it and replies in writing with fit, deliverables, and a fixed fee before production starts. Two revision rounds are included. Scope changes get a written change order you approve first.
Do you take outsourced drafting and overflow production work?
Yes. Design firms use Astratto as outsourced design production for space planning, design-intent floor plans and elevations, millwork drawings, FF&E specification, and photorealistic rendering, and as overflow capacity during busy seasons. Work is quoted per project with a fixed written fee, so support scales up for a deadline and back down between projects, with no retainer required. Astratto’s drawings communicate design intent in your standards; permitting, stamping, engineering, and field verification remain with the responsible parties.
Brief us like you’d brief an employee.

White-label is the default: the work ships under your brand, in your standards. Attribution, publication, and portfolio use follow the signed agreement. A third party’s identity is not used publicly without the required permission.
Scope, review and responsibility
Each project is governed by its accepted written scope. That record defines the included deliverables, file formats, milestones, dependencies, review or revision allowance, confidentiality terms, source-file treatment, usage rights, and change process.
Astratto's design-intent work does not replace field verification, code review, engineering, permitting, stamping, shop drawings, or contractor and fabricator review where those responsibilities apply. Product price, stock, lead time, dimensions, finish, and suitability are checked only as stated for the active scope and date.
