Services
Pre-design
Our pre-design phase establishes project foundations through site analysis, zoning reviews, and client vision alignment. We conduct programming assessments to define spatial requirements and budget parameters. This critical stage ensures all regulatory requirements and client expectations shape the architectural approach.
Schematic Design
During schematic design, we transform client requirements into architectural concepts through preliminary floor plans, elevations, and 3D renderings. This phase focuses on spatial relationships and aesthetic direction while maintaining functional practicality for residential and commercial projects.
Construction Documents
We produce detailed construction documentation including technical drawings and material specifications. Our permit sets ensure compliance with local regulations while construction sets guide builders with precise architectural and structural details for accurate project execution.
Construction Administration
Our construction administration services include site visits, contractor coordination, and quality control checks. We ensure adherence to design specifications throughout the building process, addressing technical challenges while maintaining project timelines and budgets.
3D Renderings
We create photorealistic 3D renderings and animations to visualize architectural concepts. These digital presentations help clients understand spatial relationships and material choices before construction begins, facilitating informed decision-making.
