Our Process

Exceptional design begins with a clear vision. One of the most rewarding aspects of our process is collaborating with clients to understand their unique aspirations. We see you as the visionary, while we bring our years of expertise to guide you through the benefits and challenges of various design possibilities.

Step 1

Consultation

Our initial consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your site plan and budget for new homes or a site visit and budget assessment for renovations and additions. During this meeting, we will discuss your vision, address any concerns, and provide expert guidance to ensure a clear understanding of the project scope.

At this stage, we can also evaluate your home to identify potential construction costs, including any unforeseen expenses. Our strategic design approach focuses on minimizing impact, ultimately reducing construction costs while maintaining the integrity of your vision. With years of experience navigating complex zoning and conservation regulations, we streamline the process to ensure a seamless experience.


Step 2

Schematic Design

Design sketches developed at our consultation serve as the foundation for the schematic design plan. Site orientation, optimal views, sun direction, landscaping, light, weather, grading, and more are all taken into consideration.

Utilizing advanced 2D and 3D technology, our schematic plans provide a clear visualization of both interior and exterior layouts, offering a realistic sense of space and traffic flow. We incorporate to-scale furniture within the plans and explore multiple configurations with you, refining every detail until we reach the final design that best aligns with your vision.


Step 3

Construction

Preliminary plans are developed, reviewed, and refined throughout the design process until the final plan is established. Once the design is solidified, a pricing set of plans is prepared to initiate discussions with contractors.At this stage, we are happy to assist you in selecting qualified contractors. Our extensive experience working with a broad network of skilled and reliable professionals allows us to provide trusted recommendations tailored to your needs.

Feedback from contractors, along with consultations with structural engineers, ensures that all permit requirements are met. This collaboration allows us to finalize the construction drawings to be provided to the builders for project execution.
