Design Process
Every project moves through a series of clearly outlined phases. From the first site visit to the final day of construction, we are there to guide you through the process, capture your vision, and turn it into reality.
Assessment
Survey Existing Conditions
We analyze your property. This includes taking site measurements and photographs, and producing a 3D Computer Model to build an accurate record of the existing space.
Site & Zoning Analysis
We review local codes and regulations to determine your project's limitations and opportunities.
Composition
Concept Design
This process is highly personalized. We work together with each client to develop innovative solutions that address key constraints and highlight unique opportunities for each project.
Schematic Design
Every detail is thoughtfully illustrated and presented as part of our design package to create a sophisticated and inspiring atmosphere tailored to your desires. Our goal is to deliver a result that feels both insightful and intentional.
Precision
Construction Documents
We translate your design into a detailed set of technical drawings and specifications that allow your vision to be built. Depending on the project's scope, consultants may be brought on to provide additional expertise and ensure every aspect of the project is coordinated.
Design Coordination
We coordinate drawings, materials, building systems, and project details so the design develops as one clear and cohesive package.
Certification
Permitting
We collaborate with the client and the governing agency to review the proposed project scope, ensuring that our design goals align with jurisdictional requirements. Throughout the process, we provide expert guidance to help ensure a smooth and efficient approval experience.
Agency Coordination
We help organize the information needed for review and coordinate project requirements throughout the permitting process.
Fabrication
Construction Observation
Throughout construction, we monitor the work to ensure the final product is built according to the design intent. In close coordination with the General Contractor, we provide ongoing design expertise to uphold consistency and quality through the project's completion.
Project Completion
We stay engaged through the final stages of construction, helping resolve design questions and maintain the intent of the project.
