The project begins with measuring and photographing the site to create existing condition drawings, including floor plans and exterior elevations if needed. For projects involving additions or exterior work, a certified plot plan may be required by a Surveyor.

Research is conducted on zoning and building regulations to ensure compliance with dimensional requirements, setbacks, and other local codes, incorporating these into the design.

Through collaboration with the client, project goals and spatial requirements are established, and sketch concepts are developed to explore layout, scale, and architectural character. The design is refined through iterative meetings.

If required, assistance is provided with applications, hearings, and presentations for Architectural or Historic Commissions, Neighborhood Associations, and Environmental Boards, adjusting designs as needed. Necessary drawings and documentation are compiled for permit submission.

Early contractor involvement helps align design and budget. Schematic drawings for preliminary pricing are provided, along with recommendations for qualified contractors. Assistance is available for interviews and pricing reviews.

Services include furniture layouts and selections, bathroom/ kitchen fixture, fitting, and finish design and selections, door and window schedules, appliance selections, lighting fixture selection and procurement.

The design is refined into detailed architectural plans, including layouts, material selections, and specifications for doors, windows, finishes, and fixtures. Assistance with product selection and showroom visits is available as needed.

During construction, ongoing support includes site meetings, contractor coordination, construction sketches, and shop drawing reviews. Assistance is also provided with punch list management to ensure project completion.
