1. Meet & Greet

The main goal of our initial meeting is to determine your unique needs. At this stage, the scope of work is determined, prices and timelines are agreed upon and a contract/agreement is developed to make sure all parties are on the same page.

2. Design

This is the fun part! The design phase offers the client their first glimpse of their finished project. Working together, we take the initial concept through a series of revisions which can be passed back and forth in face-to-face meetings, via email, or through the client portion of this website. Computer-generated 3D models and renderings are produced to give the client a very vivid picture of things to come. At the end of the creative process, we will have a final design that the client will be thrilled with. The client will also have the necessary presentation materials to submit to their cities (if required) for preliminary approval. In addition to 3D visuals, floor plans, elevations, and a site plan are typically provided.

3. Construction Documents

Construction documents are the detailed "blueprints" that contractors will follow to build your project. Working with a licensed Structural Engineer (yours or one that we will be happy to recommend), the construction details are calculated and drawn to specification. Once completed, they are ready to be submitted to the city for final approval and permits. In addition to the plans mentioned above (site plan, floor plan, and elevation drawings), grading plans (if required), foundation plans, framing plans, framing details, roof plans, cross sectionals, and electrical plans typically comprise construction documents. All of our plans and 3D models offer uncompromised detail that eliminate on-site guesswork for the builder.

4. Construction!

We have built solid relationships with many highly-qualified professionals. Some of our clients already have contractors while others ask us for recommendations. Because of our extensive background in construction, many clients choose to hire us for project management and/or as a liaison between the client and contractor(s) for the remainder of the project.
