Our Process

Most great things start as a conversation over coffee ☕

The phone call

We offer a complimentary Consultation call (Voice or Video call) to chat about what you’d like to build while exchanging questions.

Initial meeting / site visit

If there’s a potential fit, we schedule an in-person meeting. You learn about us, and we learn about you and your project. We cover topics such as scope, budget, priorities, scheduling, etc.

Preliminary design proposal

If pre-design work is needed to figure out what is possible (zoning, municipal requirements, HOA rules, etc.) and what you want (program/scope), we charge hourly to help steer the ship in the right direction.

Once the coast is clear, we offer a proposal that details the design scope and fees. Design Proposal fees range based on the complexity of the project. We typically have a $5,000 design fee minimum.

Initial designs / plans

With an accepted preliminary design proposal, we request an initial payment for the work to begin.

This is where the fun starts and the design work begins! Through a series of collaborative sessions, we work together to bring ideas to life and document the plans for bidding. You can expect:

  • rough in-person hand sketches to better understand your design goals & intent

  • 2D floorplan(s) that the show the relationship between spaces

  • 3D renderings to experience the work and to help visualize it

  • an early pulse on pricing

  • enough information to confidently decide next steps.

We tweak and refine, until we get it right.

Construction documents & permitting

With finalized drawings, details and specifications, we perform a final line-item detailed construction bid and offer an Agreement for Construction.

The Construction phase

Once we execute our agreement, we line up our amazing trades and begin the work!

We work tirelessly to ensure that expectations are exceeded, in both communication, and in the built project.

  • Responsive communication with owners and all trades

  • Exceptional level of On-site supervision

  • “Never Ghost” (It’s in our contract, we promise to never Ghost you. If you’ve ever worked with a contractor like that, you’ll understand).
