  • Meet with us to discuss your vision, needs, and goals for the remodel or addition. We assemble the design team, which may include engineers, interior designers, and other specialists, based on the project’s scope.

  • We develop initial design concepts and layout options, balancing aesthetics, functionality, and feasibility. This stage includes rough sketches and space planning to align with your vision.

  • We refine the chosen concept, adding details such as materials, structural considerations, and system integrations. This is when our engineers assess the project’s feasibility, and we ensure compliance with building codes.

  • Once all designs and calculations are finalized, we compile permit-ready drawings and submit them to the city for approval. We handle any required revisions and work closely with the local building department to get your permits secured efficiently.

  • Once your permit-ready plans are approved, we move forward to construction ensuring a seamless transition from design to build.
