SERVICES

Architectural services and the design and construction process are categorized in four phases that are industry standards.
Each client’s project and needs are unique, so services within each phase may be tailored to meet individual requirements.

BASIC SERVICES

Design - Schematic

In this phase the space requirements (the Program), the budget goals and time schedules are established. A design concept is developed and approved by the client.

Design  - Development

Detailed drawings are produced based on the schematic design. Structural, mechanical and electrical systems, materials and other appropriate elements are incorporated at this time. At this stage the design will be finalized and any changes will impact the budget and schedule.

Construction Drawings

Every aspect of the design including all the details are drawn to scale and specified to obtain contractor bids and government building permits.

Construction
