PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Custom Home Architects
Visualize and refine the design of your new build or remodeling project, ensuring it’s feasible, accurately represented, and aligned with your vision before starting.
Taking into account your location, project scope, and your needs and budget, we pair you with a professional custom home architect that has experience in your unique project type.
Site Evaluation & Schematic Design
During site evaluation, we assess the site’s natural characteristics, uncover the design possibilities, and study the feasibility of your project.
An existing conditions survey helps to determine the property’s suitability for your vision and identify what’s necessary for achieving your goals.
Using this information, we develop schematic drawings that outline the site’s existing conditions, basic design concepts, spatial relationships, and the form of the proposed project.
- Land Contours
- Solar Orientation
- Architectural Style
- Structural Impact of the Design
Design Development
In the design development phase, we refine the initial schematic designs based on your feedback, site constraints, and functional requirements.
This stage involves translating conceptual ideas into more detailed architectural plans, elevations, and 3D renderings, helping you visualize the proposed site inside and out.
We organize all the details and explore various design options, materials, and building systems to optimize your project’s functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.
- Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, and Energy Efficiency Requirements
- Material Selections
- Custom Built-Ins
Construction Documents
To prepare for the construction phase, working drawings and detailed construction documentation is produced for your approved design.
During this phase, we start the review and approval process with the local planning department and design review boards as applicable. Your construction drawings are submitted to the local building department for permits. The architect ensures that your builder has all the details they need to bid the project—and that you can now proceed through the construction process with ease.
