Our Architectural Design Process

The typical process starts with a Zoning Analysis, if applicable, which evaluates the zoning restrictions for your property, determining what you will be able to construct. Once complete, a complementary site visit will be scheduled, allowing us to provide you with a Preliminary Project Report. Then, you will meet with your Architectural Designer for a site measure to establish goals, budgets, and other criteria. From there, we create 3 layout options during our Schematic Design phase to narrow down which design direction we will develop further for the permit process. While we finesse plan details and coordinate with the jurisdiction on permitting, we also work with you on choosing your interior finishes.

Once construction commences, the Architectural Design team stays involved to ensure construction follows the designed vision by answering questions the field team may have and helping to resolve any unforeseen issues that may arise along the way. Working closely with an Architectural Designer also increases flexibility throughout the construction process. Design changes, additions, or upgrades (known as change orders) can be implemented much more efficiently with their professional expertise. This process reduces the uncertainty of navigating a construction project by giving you a personalized team to help guide you through each step and design consideration and easily pass your plans to our in-house and vetted crews.
