PROCESS

Design phase

  • A simple line drawing of a house with a larger main section and a smaller attached section, featuring a steep roof, and a central tree.

    Predesign

    This phase involves gathering information, defining project goals, understanding site conditions, analyzing client needs, and researching zoning regulations or building codes. This phase helps us establish a clear direction and identify potential challenges, ensuring a solid foundation for the design process.

  • Diagram of a rectangular blueprint with interconnected squares and lines, partially rolled out.

    Schematic Design

    in this phase we create sketches, diagrams, and basic floor plans to explore spatial relationships, form, and function. This phase focuses on translating ideas into visual representations, considering factors like aesthetics, usability, and site conditions. We helps clients visualize the project and provides a framework for further refinement in later stages..

  • Outline of a pilot's flight helmet with a stylized pen overlay

    Design Development

    in this phase we develop more precise drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and sections, while integrating structural, mechanical, and material considerations. This phase ensures that the design meets functional, aesthetic, and budgetary requirements, coordinating with engineers and consultants to finalize key decisions before construction documentation begins.

  • Illustration of a laptop with a 3D cube hovering above the screen, surrounded by corner indicators.

    3D Visualization

    Using 3D modeling software, we produce realistic images or animations that include lighting, materials, textures, and landscaping. These renderings help clients, stakeholders, and marketing teams visualize the project, making it easier to communicate design ideas and make informed decisions before construction begins.

  • Icon of a house with a ruler and a measuring tape indicating home measurement or construction.

    Construction documents

    The construction documents phase involves producing detailed drawings and specifications that provide precise instructions for building the project. These documents include architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical plans, along with materials and construction methods. They serve as a legal contract between the client and contractor, ensuring the design is built according to code, budget, and project requirements

  • Icon of a smartphone with a document displayed on the screen and a pencil above it.

    Permitting

    This phase includes obtaining necessary permits and approvals before construction can begin. Contractors may also submit shop drawings, material samples, and other documentation for approval to confirm they meet design specifications ption goes here

Construction Phase

  • A figure shoveling snow with an orange warning triangle indicating caution.

    Preparation and Site Work

    The architect ensures that the contractor follows the design intent by reviewing shop drawings, responding to RFIs (Requests for Information), and conducting site visits to monitor progress and address any design-related issues that arise during construction.

  • A cartoon-style brick wall with a trowel above it.

    Building Construction

    We work closely with the contractor and consultants to verify that materials, workmanship, and installations align with the approved plans and specifications. They assist with resolving discrepancies and ensuring compliance with building codes and project requirements.

  • Illustration of a handshake with a house in the background.

    Finalization and Handover

    This is the phases in which we begin final inspections and review the punch list to ensure all outstanding issues are resolved, and provides as-built documentation. we help facilitate the handover process, ensuring the owner receives a completed project that meets their expectations and design goals.
