8 Ways We Design Better
01
Feasibility Study
Every project starts with a free consultation to uncover your vision, budget, and property’s potential.
You’ll see initial concepts, gain insight into projected costs, and understand timelines and potential risks.
02
Site & Building Conditions Review
Every project starts with a deep understanding of the property. We review existing site and building conditions, zoning requirements, and unique constraints to set a solid foundation for design decisions.
03
Initial Designs and Layouts
We translate your vision into preliminary layouts that explore space planning, functionality, and flow. These early concepts give you a clear picture of how your project can take shape.
04
Cost Estimates
Budgets matter. We provide preliminary cost estimates early in the process so you understand the financial scope before moving forward, helping you plan with confidence.
05
Engineering Integration and 3D Modeling
Our team works closely with engineers to integrate structural, mechanical, and other key systems seamlessly. Using 3D modeling, we create a visual representation that helps you see potential challenges and opportunities before construction.
06
Design Development and Material Finalization
This stage refines the design details. We finalize layouts, finishes, and material selections to ensure the project reflects your style, preferences, and performance requirements.
07
Construction Drawings and Permits
We prepare detailed construction drawings and coordinate with authorities to secure the necessary permits. This step ensures your project is fully approved and ready for execution.
08
Construction Administration
Our involvement doesn’t stop at design. We provide ongoing support during construction—reviewing progress, clarifying design details, and ensuring the build aligns with the approved plans.
