Phased Approach to Residential Design
Welcome to our phased approach to residential design. Here, we outline the typical phases you can expect in a residential project. Each project is unique, and we tailor our process to meet the specific demands of local jurisdictions, design review boards, governing agencies, and most importantly, you.
Pre-Design
We kick off with the pre-design phase, where we gather essential information and build a strong relationship with you. This involves in-depth discussions, site assessments, feasibility studies, zoning evaluations, and client consultations. Together, we lay the groundwork for your project, considering your needs, spatial preferences, and budget constraints. This phase ensures we fully understand the scope and objectives of your project.
Interior Design
The interior design phase is where we bring your home's personality to life. We carefully select materials, color schemes, and lighting that harmonize with the overall design. Our goal is to create a seamless flow between the interior and exterior, resulting in a cohesive and harmonious feel.
Construction Administration
During the construction administration phase, we oversee the building process to ensure everything progresses as planned. This involves site visits, coordination with contractors, and rigorous quality assurance measures. We maintain open communication with consultants and engage with municipal officials as needed, ensuring every aspect of the construction meets our high standards.
Schematic Design
Next, we move into the schematic design phase, where your ideas start to take shape. Using insights from the pre-design phase, we develop initial site diagrams, floor plan sketches, and exterior design concepts. We also calculate square footage and lot coverage, providing you with a preliminary vision of your future home.
Construction Documents
Construction documents are the technical blueprints that breathe life into your home. This phase involves creating detailed plans, sections, elevations, and construction specifications. These documents ensure compliance with building codes and provide a solid foundation for contractor bids and estimates.
Design Development
In the design development phase, we bring greater detail to the concepts created in the schematic design phase. We specify materials, building systems, and coordinate with consultants and subcontractors. This phase covers both exterior and interior elements, from material selections and finishes to window styles and door designs, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.
Permitting
The permitting phase is all about securing the necessary approvals. We handle the submission of plans to local building authorities, navigate the application process, and manage any required revisions. Our expertise ensures a smooth and efficient approval process, keeping your project on track.Please bear in mind that while this serves as a general outline, we adapt our approach to suit the distinctive demands of each project. Join us on this captivating journey through residential design, where creativity and functionality converge to transform your dreams into the homes we create.
