How It Works
Step 1: Initial Consultation:
Here we will get to know the wants and needs for your project. This is usually an on site meeting where we get to review the project scope, go over your project goals, timelines, ideas, etc. It is a good idea for the client to bring some sketches, photographs and images of their ideas.
If we are a good fit for helping you with the design and drafting for your project, we will prepare a proposal which outlines fees, timelines and expectations associated with the works.
Step 2: Conceptual Design
Upon acceptance and agreement of the proposal, we would then prepare a rough concept to get the ideas nailed down in more detail. This is a good opportunity for the client to visualize the project through floor plan sketches & building elevations. This is an opportunity to start building the finite details of the project, such as room sizes, finishes, aesthetics. The more details the better, we’ll make sure you project is exactly as you envisioned!
*During this phase we will do a detailed house measure of affected areas of home and provide input on feasibility of existing building – Usually reserved for renovations.*
Step 3: Final Design – Bidding, Permit & Construction Plans
Final plans are made for the purpose of bidding, permitting and construction. These plans often include; Site plan, Specifications, Cover Sheet, Demolition Plans (If Applicable), Foundation/Basement Plans, Floor Plans, Roof Plan, Exterior Elevations, Cross-Sections and Details.
These plans can then be used for pricing. If your contractor’s price is acceptable to you then we will provide the remaining documents for your permit application.
Step 4: Permit Application
Documents are submitted to the local building department. This is something you can do yourself; as well as something we can do on your behalf. Upon approval of permit package and drawings. From here you and your contractor can build the project. We will be with you when needed for inspections and technical support.
