Process

A repeatable process, an unforgettable experience

Simply 4 steps from conception through construction

Taking your vision and turning it into a completed building is our job. We want our design process to be transparent, for our clients to feel well informed, and know that we welcome your feedback every step of the way. Our repeatable process helps assure that each client who walks into their space for the first time feels that we successfully translated their unique ideas into a functional space.

Examine

Prior to beginning the design, we have an initial discussion with the client to find out what their goals and needs are. We use this information to create a set of programming guidelines. In the programming phase, our design team has an in-depth meeting with the owners and various stakeholders to establish and further refine the design parameters. By understanding the limitations, like budget, time, location, and performance from the start, it guarantees that proper function and form are designed into the space.

Experiment

At this point, the space begins to take form and we present multiple ideas and possibilities aimed at meeting the requirements developed in the project programming session. The initial design concepts are communicated through sketches, schematic plans, and preliminary renderings.

Finalize

This phase ensures that the buildings we design are buildable, safe, and ready for construction. After securing client approval, we begin finalizing the details of the project. All civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, and fire sprinkler components are carefully coordinated in the overall design. The entire project team works together to certify that the space meets all codes and specifications, has the appropriate permitting, and that everything is prepared for a set of finalized drawings.

Construct

After complete construction documents are prepared, we help guide clients through the bidding and construction phase. Whether that is simply referring a contractor that is best suited to the project, or full construction administration, we’re here to help get your building built.

Whether the project is new construction, remodeling, renovating or retrofitting—our team is here to help.

We want to join YOUR team.

Whether it’s for commercial, residential, education, civic projects, or something that’s out of the ordinary, we’d love to help you get the process started.
