Design Services & Workflow

  • A flowchart illustrating the relationships among clients, landlords, general contractors, local authorities, consulting engineers, and architects, with a central note about facilitating coordination among these groups.

    We look forward to working with you on your Project. Our organized Project Workflow ensures steady progress.

    Our services are divided into sequential Phases, each building on the previous one. We begin with broad concepts and gradually refine the design. Decisions are split into manageable portions. Timelines may shift based on approval of each phase and coordination with the team.

    The following Phases guide Project completion. Please note that bypassing the established Workflow could cause delays or extra fees

    We need to learn about your project and requirements before beginning work or discussing fees.

    Scope of Work
  • An abandoned two-story brick building with broken windows and a damaged roof next to a paved area with cracks and patches of grass and dirt.

    A variety of Services may be required before starting the design of any project. It is the Client's responsibility to provide As-Built Plans, Existing Site Plans, or ALTA Surveys. If this information cannot be provided, we can recommend or offer Pre-Design Services.

    Pre-Design Services
  • Architectural drawing of a three-story house with stone and siding exterior, metal balcony railing, two garage doors on the ground level, two windows on the second floor, and a small attic window under a gable roof.

    We will use your provided Scope of Work and Program to bring your vision to life.

    Schematic Design Services
  • A detailed architectural floor plan of a building, including labeled rooms such as a veg house, drying/trimming area, office/security room, storage vault, curing room, break room, packaging room, other technical specifications and measurements.

    Most local codes and ordinances must approve Architectural and Engineering Plans prior to the start of any construction.  These plans will give the local authority a chance to review your project for code compliance and provide approval of a building permit.

    Construction Document Services
  • Diagram showing different aspects of an architect's role, including electrical, mechanical, structure, civil, surveyor, furnishings, sustainability, interiors, and barrier-free design.

    Most local codes and ordinances must approve Architectural and Engineering Plans prior to the start of any construction.

    These plans will give the local authority a chance to review your project for code compliance and provide approval of a building permit.

    Engineering & Consulting Services
  • A piece of paper with checkboxes and a section about income, placed on a marble surface, with a blue sticky note that says 'sign here' with an arrow pointing left.

    The Client is responsible for completing Permit Applications and paying any associated fees to the local authorities; however, we may assist the Client with approvals if they need assistance.

    Permit Management Services
  • Construction workers installing a wooden framework on concrete blocks at a construction site with a forested hillside in the background.

    Services are not over after you receive the Building Permit.

    Construction Administration Services
  • Close-up of neatly rolled white paper sheets stacked together.

    Every project is unique, some expenses are variable and are not part of the fee. Be prepared for additional costs such as travel expenses, shipping fees, permit fees, and reproductions.
