Walking Through the Process
Our time tested process is designed to take you from concept to reality with courtesy and care.
The Questionnaire
We begin each consultation with a
questionnaire as an aide to collect and organize information about
your property, your objectives, budget and basic requirements. This
will provide an initial point of discussion to begin our first
conceptual designs.
Site Plan
Every lot is different; some are flat,
some have hills, trees, or water features. We walk the site with
you and research of all lot information available. Using
the natural features of the property to layout the house location and
drive access are typical objectives of the design process.
Sketching it Out
We typically work up concept sketches from your initial ideas to begin putting form and function on paper and to help you mold the design before the finer details are approached.
Preliminary Prints
As your vision solidifies, we’ll
produce floor plans and elevations in full scale drawings to allow
you several opportunities to fine tune the work in progress. We have always used stock or modular dimensions throughout our plans, one of the basic building blocks of "green architecture".
Working Drawings
Our working drawings are very complete and east to read by clients, suppliers and the building trades. Once
they are completed, you will receive several sets of drawings with all the measurements and rough
specifications needed to construct your home.
Site Visits
During
construction, we visit local sites three times at no extra charge to keep
the building of your home in tune with your vision.
