THE DESIGN PROCESS IN A NUTSHELL
Once we enter into an agreement, we start with CONCEPTUAL SKETCHES in a session that involves you. We explore all the
possibilities within the parameters of your property, budget and code limitations.
Once we understand the direction you want the project to take, we use the conceptual sketches to prepare hard-line preliminary
DESIGN DRAWINGS that usually include the Site Plan, Floor Plan(s) and at least one Exterior Elevation.
Once you approve the Design Drawings, we proceed to the final phase of design: the CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. These are the
final drawings that will be used for obtaining a building permit and the actual construction of your new home. Where required,
structural engineering is also part of the Construction Documents.
We can also provide additional services, including Interior Design, Interior Decorating, Landscape Design, assistance
in securing the services of qualified contractors and graphic presentation.
