Process
Every project is different. We keep the process clear and easy to follow, so you know where you are, what comes next, and what we need from you.
We start by listening. You do not need drawings or a finished plan. We talk about your property, your ideas, your needs, and your budget.
This is a chance to ask questions, learn more about the process, and see if we are a good fit for your project.
A few questions help us get started. There are no wrong answers.
Before we begin designing, we learn about your property and the things that may affect the project.
We look at the site, the existing home if there is one, and the rules that apply to the property. This helps us understand what is possible before we start making design decisions.
This is where your ideas start to take shape.
We explore different ways the space could work and share drawings and other visuals to help you understand the design. We talk through the options together and make changes based on what matters most to you.
Once we have a direction, we begin working out the details.
The design becomes more complete, and we make sure the different parts of the project work together. We continue to review the design with you as it develops.
As the design develops, we can work with a builder to better understand the potential cost of the project.
This gives you an opportunity to make changes while the design is still flexible. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions before the drawings are complete.
Once the design is ready, we prepare the drawings and information needed for the permit process.
We coordinate with other professionals when needed and submit the project to the appropriate agency.
Permits take time. Every city and county has its own review process, and timelines can vary. We help manage the process, keep you informed, and respond to questions or requested changes.
When construction begins, we can continue to support you based on the services included in your agreement.
We help answer questions, visit the site when needed, and help keep the project moving forward.
We will always explain what is included in your services before you move forward.
