Our Process
Initial Site Visit
We conduct on-site visits, discuss your project, and provide a written proposal specifying the scope, timing, and options. Upon signing a contract with a 10%-15% retainer, the project begins.
Existing Conditions
This phase involves documenting visible site/building conditions. For existing buildings, we take measurements and photos, as old drawings may not accurately depict built reality. In new construction, our focus is on documenting site layout, circulation, known utilities, landscape, boundaries, and zoning criteria.
Design
After recording existing conditions, we perform initial design studies, integrating your preferences with site/budget parameters. We create two to three design schemes presented in site plans, floor plans, exterior elevations, and occasionally 3D models. We meet with you to refine and develop the design, delving into architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical system implications.
Construction Drawings and Specifications
Upon design approval, we proceed to create comprehensive construction drawings and specifications, comprising the majority of our work. This phase includes detailed plans for the site, foundation, floors, roof, and various systems, along with specifications outlining expected quality.
Construction Contract Oversight
We pursue smooth project execution by staying involved throughout construction. We assist in executing the contract, review pay requests and product submittals, provide regular updates, and address queries during construction. Upon completion, we conduct a final walkthrough, create a punch list, and assist in collecting close out documents from the general contractor.
