OUR DESIGN PROCESS

This phase begins with an initial meeting between our firm and the client. We discuss the hopes and dreams of the project as well as the primary and secondary objectives to be achieved. It is important to discuss the project timeline, inspiration, concepts and more during this phase. We will then begin exploring potential options through sketching and inspiration photos.

Schematic Design is important for information gathering. We will conduct site visits, take dimensions and perform programming and adjacency studies. These studies help us determine what are the most important considerations for the project. Rough sketches and drawings will be produced to help illustrate potential layout options.

During this phase we will provide multiple schemes that will allow you as the client to weigh the pros and cons of each option. These schemes can consist of layout options, exterior/interior preliminary materials and general square footage considerations. This is where final design decisions are made. Multiple progress review meetings will be held to ensure time and clarity for project corrections before the Construction Document phase.

Construction Documents are developed once all questions and concerns are ironed out from the Design Development phase. They are intricate and detailed blueprints that are fit for a contractor's use. Often referred to as CDs, Construction Documents are complete with full dimensions, annotations and all the necessary sheets for construction.
