STEP- BY-STEP PROCESS...
We work closely with our clients to develop a design that is right for them -- functionally, aesthetically and
budget-wise. We then negotiate a contract that ensures the project is designed as intended at the agreed
upon price. Our attention to detail provide those extra, added touches that make your project a true
success.
Our approach is outlined below. For smaller scope projects, this process can be abbreviated.
1. Personal Interview
A personal meeting is very important to our process. Our first meeting with you usually runs one-and-a-half
to two hours, during this time we discuss and take detailed notes on your needs and ideas. We can
usually determine the appropriate approach to take at this time.
2. Preliminary Design
We develop preliminary designs based on the discussion and ideas generated at our meeting. These
designs are presented in the form of sketches, drawings (plans and elevations) and three dimensional
models.
3. Design Development
It is normal and even desirable to spend time refining the design at this stage. Usually one of the
preliminary designs is chosen or various options are melded together into a final buildable design.
4. Permit (Construction) Drawings and Documents
We now 'fine tune' the final design, formally drawing it up with structural notes, dimensions and supporting
documentation (energy and structural calculations, window and door schedules, site plans, etc.) required
for city or county building permits. We submit the package and follow it through until permits are issued.
5. Additional Design Development
This step may or may not be required. At this point you may be wondering "What does that stair railing look
like exactly?" Permit documents do not require detailed interior design or finish specifications. However,
our clients often do, and we enjoy providing this higher level of design.
And Finally...
Our business grows by word of mouth referral and it is to our mutual advantage to have the best possible
finished product. We have terrific relationships with our clients, both before and after construction. We look
forward to working with you on your project.
