We have a comprehensive list of goals for your projects that take into account various aspects of sustainability, client needs, and environmental responsibility. To ensure that your projects align with these goals, here are some specific strategies and considerations you can incorporate into your design process:
Note: It is not always necessary to build extensively. Sometimes a change in furniture locations or removing some walls or adding windows can solve the problems with the existing design.
By incorporating these strategies and considerations into your design process, you can effectively optimize your projects to align with your stated goals and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient built environment.
We oversee construction work to ensure compliance with the Construction Documents. We represent your interests during construction to verify that the work, for which payment is requested, is correctly executed. We assist in resolving any issues that arise during construction, ensuring your interests are well protected.
Once you decide to proceed with the design, we refine the schematic design with precise dimensions to ensure everything fits. We will meet with you multiple times to finalize the design style, focusing on details and material selection. Our design process incorporates sustainable technologies and green materials.
We produce detailed drawings that include dimensioned plans and elevations, specific material specifications, construction details, room elevations (e.g., bathrooms and kitchens), framing plans, electrical plans, and schedules for windows, doors, finishes, light fixtures, hardware, and other components.
We begin by meeting with you to identify the issues that need resolution. Next, we develop a program, evaluate the site and/or existing building(s), check zoning, explore options, and identify priorities to allocate your budget effectively.
If special permits are required, we assist in preparing the necessary documents and presenting them to relevant government boards. We help you develop a list of contractors and use our construction documents for bidding. We then assist in organizing the bid process and selecting the contractor.
After you occupy the space, we provide ongoing support to address any issues that may arise, ensuring the best functioning of your building.
We create several design options and sketch architectural layouts. Afterward, we meet with you to discuss how these options address your needs and help you prioritize your most urgent requirements. With your feedback, we refine the schematic design, enabling you to visualize the final architectural concept. For cost control, we collaborate with contractors to obtain a preliminary cost estimate.
