During the research and discovery stage, which typically lasts 4 to 5 weeks, clients collaborate with the design team to gather information and thoroughly understand the project requirements. This process involves identifying client needs, preferences, and design inspirations; conducting site analysis and assessment of existing conditions; developing preliminary budget estimations and timelines; reviewing building codes, zoning, and other regulations; and finally establishing project goals and scope.

The design conceptualization stage, which spans 8 to 12 weeks, focuses on creating and refining design concepts. It involves developing multiple design options and floor plans, creating 3D renderings and visualizations, selecting materials, finishes, and fixtures based on client preferences and budget constraints, collaborating with consultants, engineers, and other professionals, and refining project budgets and schedules based on design decisions.

Using sketches, architectural elevations and 3D rendering software, you will be able to review your design in several different ways.

What this stage includes

• Create conceptual design options.
• Develop architectural drawings and floor plans.
• Select materials, finishes, and fixtures.
• Refine project budget and schedule.
• Obtain client approval for the final design.

During the 3 to 5-week design refinement stage, the team finalizes and prepares for construction. During this stage of the process, essential steps include refining and approving architectural drawings and details. After obtaining customer approval for the finalized design, submitting documents to pertinent government bodies, liaising with contractors for bids and discussion negotiations, procuring materials as well as arranging their delivery – these are just a few of the many steps required.

Your designer will guide you through selecting materials and finishes, helping you coordinate cabinets, tile, flooring, and paint so you can picture how everything will come together in your space.

Finally, you come to our office one last time and we present the final proposal. This includes a fixed-price bid with a very detailed scope of work.

We have an extremely low change order percentage and offer an initial outstanding product. If you are comfortable with what you see, we move to the build phase.

What this stage includes

• Prepare and submit permit applications.
• Coordinate with consultants and engineers.
• Obtain bids from contractors and subcontractors.
• Review and negotiate contracts.
• Procure materials and schedule deliveries.

The construction stage, which can last between 10 to 28 weeks, involves the actual execution of the design, transforming concepts into reality. This stage encompasses on-site construction supervision and coordination, ensuring quality control and adherence to design specifications, managing project budget and schedule, communicating project updates and progress to clients, and addressing any issues or changes during construction.

What this stage includes

• Supervise on-site construction activities.
• Coordinate with contractors and subcontractors.
• Ensure quality control and adherence to design specifications.
• Monitor project budget and schedule.
• Perform final walkthrough and address any punch list items.

In the post-construction and warranty phase, the team finalizes the project and provides ongoing support. It includes conducting a final walkthrough and addressing any punch list items, ensuring client satisfaction with the completed project, providing documentation such as manuals and warranties for installed products and systems, offering ongoing maintenance and warranty support, and developing long-term relationships with clients for future projects or referrals. The duration of this stage varies depending on the specifics of each project and the warranty terms provided.
