Our Process

Many clients come to us unsure of what working with an architect involves. We aim to make the process clear, structured, and manageable from the start.

1. Pre-Design & Project Analysis

We begin by understanding your goals, constraints, budget, and timeline. For renovation and commercial projects, this often includes reviewing existing conditions, zoning, and feasibility.

2. Schematic Design

We explore layout options, massing, and overall approach. This phase focuses on big-picture decisions before committing to detailed solutions.

3. Design Development

The selected design is refined with more detailed layouts, materials, and coordination with consultants.

4. Construction Documents

We prepare detailed drawings and specifications used for permitting and construction pricing.

5. Permitting & Approvals

We assist with submissions, responses to comments, and coordination with local authorities.

6. Construction Administration

During construction, we support the project through site visits, contractor coordination, and design clarifications.

Throughout the process, our goal is to reduce uncertainty, support informed decision-making, and help projects move forward smoothly.
