The design process can be confusing to people who have never worked with an architect before. Here are the steps we use to help our clients through the process.

1. The Initial Meeting

We meet with you (at no charge) at your home or place of business to discuss your ideas.

2. The Proposal

We present you a proposal listing all the services we will provide and the fee for those services.

3. Schematic Design

This includes studying the relevant city or township codes, site observation, and producing sketches showing diagrams of options for your design.

4. Design Development

This is further refining and development of a few options of the schematic design.

5. Permit Drawings

These are the drawings for the township and the builder's use.

6. Construction Administration

We visit the site as it is under construction and attend job meetings with the contractor to assure the outcome of the project is what you want.
