OUR SERVICES

1. Pre-Design / Conceptual Design

   At the start of our working relationship, we listen closely to your preferences and work hand in hand with you to provide you with the space of your dreams. Be it a single-home family residence or an office building, we will brainstorm to provide a quality design that will stand out from the rest. We pay attention to aesthetics and layout ideas.

2. Schematic Design

   Schematic design is the first phase in which we start putting everything into computerized drawings. In this step, we talk with the client to determine the project requirements and goals and provide a clear budget of what is to come. Also, initial research of jurisdictional regulations is completed at this time. Initial cost estimations are also investigated based on total project size and complicity.

3. Design Development

   Here, design meets mechanics: the layout of air conditioning, the flow of plumbing and electrical, and specific recessed lighting factors. This phase involves finalizing the design and specifying such items as materials, window and door locations, and general structural details. Design development usually yields a more detailed site plan as well as floor plans, elevations, and section drawings with full dimensions.

4. Construction Documentation

   All of the project specifications, calculations, notes, plans, elevations, schedules, and engineering details are laid out and constantly referenced. These documents inform the Permit Set and ensure codes are followed. Since we are the ones that also work with the construction of the building, you do not need to worry about handing these drawings to someone else or finding another firm to do the general contracting. We take our work and submit it to the city and start demolishing with a demo permit as soon as it comes out.

5. Construction Administration

   From initial bids through completion, we monitor the work performed by our team. We select vendors during the project with tight communication and regular site observation. We have a lot of references with subcontractors that are known to do work quickly and efficiently.

In all our work, we offer the five listed services into our design jobs. If additional services are needed, we are also onboard. For our additional services, we offer programming, surveys, landscape design, value analysis, architectural interior design, historic preservation, among others.

In most cases, the construction phase can begin while the design phase is being completed. However, when you choose us as architects, we will prepare the job site and some elements of construction can begin while the designs are finalized just because we are the ones handling both parts of the project. The construction will happen quicker and with ease. This process allows the team to stick to a rigid schedule, completing the project quicker than in other methods. Since all the workers are working on the same team and towards the same goal, communication is more effective and concerns can be addressed promptly.

Remodeling projects can provide a significant boost in improving both your living space as well as the value of your home. It can often make your home more energy-efficient while making it more comfortable and attractive.

Many homeowners plan remodeling projects for their homes to raise the comfort level but it is also a popular choice if you plan to sell your home and wish to increase the market value. Remodeling your home may be an overwhelming task if you are not quite sure where to begin. We can help you understand the remodeling process and point out some tips to start you in the right direction. If your main goal in doing a remodel is to increase the sticker price of your home, you might want to do some research on which remodels give you more bang for your buck. Kitchen and bathroom remodel are a surefire bet, since they are valuable to home buyers today. These remodel typically pay back about 95% of their own cost when it comes time to appraise the home. If you want to completely change the feel of your home, and make it more modern and efficient, we can also do that and turn it out to look like a completely new home.

In the field of architecture, visualization refers to the practice of representing a new structure in a way that can be easily digested. Thought of as the language between the client and the designer, visualization generally takes place before the building process begins. We create this dynamic between ourselves and the client to be easier and show our best work to our clients.

3D renderings are an easy way to communicate many details about a project easily. 3D models give our clients the opportunity to spot issues early on. With a photo-realistic rending of their project, they can know whether they dislike the design and layout of something right from the start. By catching the problem in the early stages, they can avoid the potentially enormous costs of making changes after construction has already begun.
