How it works

1. 01

   Discovery

   We start with your goals, budget, site and program, and the constraints that come with them.

2. 02

   Schematic design

   We explore layout and massing options and settle on a direction together.

3. 03

   Design development

   The chosen direction is refined: materials, systems and details, coordinated with engineers.

4. 04

   Construction documents

   A complete drawing set for permitting and bidding.

5. 05

   Permitting and bidding

   We submit for permit, answer city comments and help you compare contractor bids.

6. 06

   Construction

   We stay involved through completion so what gets built matches what was designed.

Design and documentation typically take three to six months, depending on size and complexity, followed by permitting and construction.

Typical projects

• Commercial offices and pre-engineered metal buildings
• Retail and restaurant spaces
