Our Process
Pre-design
This is where the design process begins. We get to know you, your ideas, visions, interests, expectations along with details regarding the land, any existing structures, any zoning and land-use restrictions etc. With this information in hand, we get to the drawing board to start with the programming and laying out the basic iteration of your dream.
Schematic Design
This is technically the first phase of the ‘architectural’ design process. Here, we take the programming and your wishes and translate it into architectural and spatial designs. This includes preliminary plans, sketches, 3D renderings etc.
Design Development
This is where the concept and design intent manifest into detailed drawings. Consultants start joining in the process at this juncture. Discussions about finishes and cost estimates commence.
Construction Documents
At the end of this phase, the building drawings become detailed enough to be able to dictate construction. Two set of drawings are produced; the construction set and the permit set. One directs construction while the other is sent for approval to the local permitting authority. The construction commences after a building permit is secured.
Construction Administration
This is the final phase of the process, our role shifts from design to construction management. We schedule regular visits to the site to inspect and ensure that the construction is executed according to our drawings. At the end of this phase, your vision is now a beautiful reality!
Additional Services
These services can be provided at any time in the design process and can include rendering, marketing, consulting etc.
