OUR PROCESS
Our clients are part of the project team. The best projects are the ones where everyone works together to see things through. We'll be there with you along the way. Guiding you through the design, approvals, and construction process - helping your project reach the finish line.
Phase One:
CONSULT
This is our chance to get to know you and your project. We discuss the project overall, learning about client preferences, goals/objectives, the known and unknown requirements. We ask, “what do we have and what do we need?” In doing so, we start to develop an understanding of where things are today and where we need to get to.
Phase TWO:
Concept Development
In this phase, we begin to put pen to paper by taking all the information we’ve gathered from you to begin developing a concept proposal. This creates an opportunity to involve you in the concept development process, engage in constructive dialogue, make changes, and begin to form a final concept that everyone is satisfied with to move forward.
Phase Three:
Design + Planning
Concepts are just the starting point. Once we have the general concept/layout prepared, the real work can begin. We begin to formalize the design, planning, and engineering. We'll prepare documents for formal approval submissions, planning/municipal approvals, and permits. All while working with you to make sure we get it right and capture your unique project requirements.
Phase four:
Construction
Once all permits and approvals are in place, it’s time to build. You may choose to engage with your own builder, or you may ask for our help with seeking one to find the right fit. Either way, we will be there to assist you during the construction phase, such as reviewing work in the field to make sure it conforms to the design documents, checking shop and third-party supplier drawings, and providing input/advice.
Final phase:
Project Completion
This is the final wrap-up. Consultants complete the final reviews, ensure all documents from the builder that have been submitted are in order, and review the work in the field to ensure everything complies with the design documents. Final letters of conformity are issued, permits are closed, and projects are completed. Feedback is provided by clients for our continual improvement.
