Our Process

A Clear Design and Drawing Process

The process is organized around a defined scope, reliable project information, timely client decisions, and coordination with the qualified consultants required for the work.

Architectural drawings arranged for design and document coordination
01

Discover

Discuss your goals, inspiration, site conditions, zoning considerations, and priorities. Review the available property information and confirm the scope, fee, exclusions, responsibilities, and anticipated schedule in a proposal.

02

Design

Develop concept layouts, massing, exterior character, and interior relationships. Review the direction with you and refine the design around the agreed priorities and available site information.

03

Coordinate

Align the design with required structural, HVAC, engineering, energy, survey, and other consultant information. Each qualified consultant remains responsible for their own professional work.

04

Document

Prepare detailed plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and construction details for the agreed scope. Confirm key decisions with you before finalizing the drawing package.

05

Permit Support

Provide application assistance and responses to municipal comments on our drawings where included in the proposal. The municipality conducts its own review, controls its review timeline, and determines permit issuance.
