Initial Meeting
During our first meeting with homeowners we provide an overview of our company, discuss overall design-build methodology and our own design-build process. We begin to gain an understanding of your project, including overall vision, desired outcome, timelines, and project budget. If help is needed to determine project budget we can provide a preliminary project analysis.
Preliminary Project Analysis
We create a preliminary “scope of work” that breaks down the project elements discussed in the initial meeting and assigns budget ranges for these elements. This initial project definition provides important benchmark information for homeowners as they consider their project and start to make key planning decisions.
Design Consultation
A team meeting with architect, builder and homeowners to discuss architectural styles, functionality requirements, and “wish list” items. We also review our design portfolio and discuss how we have approached similar projects. After this meeting, we typically have acquired enough information to develop a design development proposal containing a design development contract.
Design Development
After the execution of the design development contract, we begin a series of meetings to design the project.
-
Schematic Design Phase
- Architect, builder, and homeowner discuss functional requirements and design parameters.
- Documentation of the existing building is completed including; applicable measurements and client's likes and dislikes of the existing conditions.
- Architect prepares schematic design documents including basic floor plans, elevations, and sections.
- Schematic designs are developed and reviewed. This is the most iterative part of the process with architect and homeowner working very closely together.
- Development of accepted schematic design. Specific elements are determined such as material distinction, dimensional adequacy and finish detail.
- Architect prepares the final construction documents including: floor plans, elevations, typical details and sections, foundation plans, electrical layouts, framing plans, and roof plans.
- Product selections are made and the construction phase is planned.
