A seamless process from start to finish

Integrated Design-Build Approach

As a Design Build firm, we offer our homeowners a unique advantage: a singular entity accountable for both the architectural design and construction, from beginning to end. This integrated approach yields a level of accountability and cohesiveness that is highly appealing. The result is a seamless project from start to finish. This advantage stands as a decisive factor for so many of our clients and most often, it’s the reason they come to us.

Building Trust Through Our Unified Design and Construction Process

The Design Build process allows us to forge a relationship with our clients right from the start cultivating a shared history through design and seamlessly transitioning into the construction phase. This unified approach prevents conflicts between vision and execution. We have an intimate understanding of the homeowners’ priorities and concerns which echo throughout the design phase and become ingrained in our approach.

The Advantage of Cohesive Services Over Disconnected Approaches

The value and appreciation that this model offers our clients far surpasses the disconnected services of separate architectural firms and contractors. This cohesive strategy alone often marks the difference between a positive and negative homeowner experience.

Proven 3-Phase Process for a Successful and Predictable Outcome

Our three-step process stands as a testament to its success over the years. It’s one of the key factors driving many clients to return for subsequent projects. Our process is comprised of the following phases:

conceptual design

schematic design followed by a comprehensive preliminary budget

and the culmination of construction drawings coupled with precise pricing and a contract documents

Conceptual Design

Beyond Design to Daily Living Preferences

This pivotal phase serves as a platform for accumulating knowledge, enabling us to delve beyond the surface to understand our clients’ requisites and unique needs, setting the stage for the design. Our goal is to not only understand the things they seek, but also to immerse ourselves into their daily routines, embrace their preferences for style, flow, materiality, natural lighting, and so much more. The knowledge we gain during this phase allows us to create a host of viable plan options that reflect our clients greatest wants and needs.

Schematic Design with Preliminary Budget

Preliminary Design & Collaborative Decision-Making

Once the conceptual plans have been approved, the Schematic design phase begins. During this phase, floor plans are further developed with walls, ceilings, and roof, and the designs are brought to life. This is an exciting time as the structure starts to take shape and gain personality. An endless number of details are carefully considered and captured in the designs. Once the schematic designs have been approved a comprehensive preliminary budget is created. This critical step in the design process allows for clarity in the numbers and aligns design with budget. Once approved, the final phase of design begins.

Construction Drawings

Bringing Your Vision to Life

Construction drawings are the final phase in the design process. They are comprehensive documents that reflect all the information that created the designs, from the initial client meeting to the very last detail. They contain all the information necessary to accurately price the project and execute the construction.
