 How We Work 
Because we have a thorough knowledge of the construction process and associated costs, we focus on ensuring that our designs reflect both customer specifications and construction feasibility. Here are the steps in a typical project:
- Meet with client to evaluate project, define scope of work, verify feasibility, and compare scope of work to construction budget.
- Prepare contract and outline fees to complete permit-ready plans. Check and verify local zoning codes.
- Upon acceptance of contract, measure "as-built" floor plan and site.
- Design first draft of project design and present to client.
- Meet with client to review feedback and revise design as necessary.
- Meet with prospective contractor to ensure that design will fit within construction budget. Modify plan accordingly, if required.
- Obtain any special design approval required from local Planning Department.
- Prepare construction documents. If required, engage structural engineer and/or other outside consultants.
- Send out final plans for final bids.
- Submit plans to local building department for plan check/approval for permits.
