SERVICES

PROJECT INCEPTION

  • The planning of your project starts here. Working together with your architectural designer, you will share your project needs, dreams and goals.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

  • During this stage we begin by preparing preliminary design sketches based on your requirements and budget to explore and illustrate possible options. We will review these options with you, pointing out the merits and responding to your input.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

  • This stage refines the agreed upon schematic design for a clearer definition of the scope and quality of the finished project. Further cost projections will determine how closely the design conforms to the budget expectations, or what, if any, adjustments are required.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

  • When the design concepts have been decided, we prepare working drawings and specifications. These are required to obtain building permits and bids, and to guide the contractor in construction.

BIDDING & NEGOTIATION

  • We can advise you on your choice of contractor – usually done by calling for competitive bids. We will help evaluate the bids and select the contractor, and prepare the agreement between you and the contractor.

CONSTRUCTION & CONTRACT ADMIN

  • We will consult with you and advise you during construction. On-site visits will determine if construction is proceeding in general accordance with the project timeline, and that the design, materials, and workmanship meet or exceed standards.
