Six Steps towards Building Your Dream

STEP 1:
Deciding What to Build
You and we discuss the requirements for the project (how many rooms, the function of the spaces, etc.), testing the fit between your needs, wants, and budget.
STEP 2:
Schematic Design/Rough Sketches
We prepare a series of rough sketches, known as schematic design, which show the general arrangement of rooms and of the site. At times we also prepare models to help visualize the project if required. The owner approves these sketches before proceeding to the next phase.
STEP 3:
Design Development/ Refining the Design
We prepare more detailed drawings to illustrate other aspects of the proposed design. Floor plans show all the rooms in correct size and shape. Outline specifications are prepared, listing the major materials and room finishes.
STEP 4:
Preparation of Construction Documents
Once you have approved the design, we prepare detailed drawings and specifications, which the contractor will use to establish actual construction cost and build the project. These drawings and specifications become part of the building contract.
STEP 5:
Hiring the Contractor
The homeowner selects and hires the contractor. We can make some recommendations. We can help you prepare bidding documents as well as invitations to bid and instructions to bidders.
STEP 6:
Construction Administration
We can assist you in making sure that the project is build according to the plans and specifications. We can make site visits to observe construction, review and approve the contractor's applications for payment, and generally keep you informed of the project's progress.
