Initial Meeting
Our first step is to meet with you to define your project. This meeting explores your likes, dislikes, requirements, and relationships with spaces. We develop and refine the project as we proceed.

Schematic Design
In the schematic design phase, we will meet multiple times to present you with our designed floor plans and listen to your feedback. You’ll see the project develop more and more to align with your needs.

Design Development
Following your approval of the schematic design, we will commence with design development. This process includes:

• The development of construction documents.
• The selection of architectural products and materials.
• Establishing conformance with local building codes.
• Detailing.

To help you understand your project better, we can create 3D renders of interior spaces, computer massing studies of new exteriors, and an actual model.

Engineers and Interior Designers
We’ll incorporate the work of structural engineering and possibly civil engineering services into our construction documents.

You have the option of working with our in-house interior designers who are also professionally trained architects or with an outside interior designer.

We’ll work closely with any outside interior designer you choose to ensure the home meets your desires and specifications, and coordinate with any kitchen and closet designers.

Bidding and Negotiation
During the bidding and negotiation phase, we serve as your representative. We provide clarity by working closely with bidders, ensuring they are all bidding on the same information and decisions.

Construction
We also serve as your representative during the construction of your home. At this stage, we make periodic field inspections to verify homes are built according to specifications. We’ll also review your builder’s requests for payments on your behalf.
