Preliminary Design & Feasibility Studies
The Preliminary Design Concept includes an in depth Feasibility study into your local bylaws to help draw the map to your design possibilities. It will provide a preliminary drawing package that will illustrate your project goals and needs. This will help begin to determine the scope of work in order to provide essential details for further modeling, budgeting, and planning as well as most importantly, delivering a clear concept to communicate with the parties involved.
Step 1
First we start out with a min. 1hr meeting of your choice - in person, over a Zoom call, or by phone - to review your project's general information and to understand the direction you'd like to go. You can prepare for our meeting by collecting any drawings, photos, example images, and any other information to share that helps best describe your goals.
Step 2
With the details from our meeting, We will perform an initial feasibility study and interpret the concept into preliminary drawings for your approval. Together, we will review and confirm the research into district bylaws, zoning information, and if necessary, coordinate with other professional services to identify potential restrictions that may affect the design.
Step 3
With the research and concept underway we can begin a first draft 3D model! It will include basic materiality, sizing, form, and highlight function in order to start narrowing in on the developed concept's feasibility and further design direction to prepare it for submissions.
Construction Drawing Packages
The goal of the Construction Drawing Package is to deliver a design that complies with the necessary building and structural requirements, vital when submitting for building permits prior to construction. Some projects may require approval from an engineer, so it is important to save on time and cost by providing a clear set of plans.
Step 1
In a 1hr meeting we will review the 3D model from the Preliminary Design Concept, or any existing construction plans that can be provided, and continue to work on refining the details so a 3D model and construction drawing package can be made.
Step 2
Next is to conduct a feasibility study into your district’s bylaws and building requirements to confirm the design’s compliance. Ongoing communication is essential to maintain a clear direction, and we will take care of the coordination of professional Surveyors, Engineering, and Planning Departments that make up the team working for you in order to obtain the building permits.
Step 3
The third step is taking the finalized design content and preparing it into the multiple views and plan format to complete the Construction Drawing Package. The drawing package will be organized and reviewed to make sure all required information for a successful submission is applied.

Step 2
Next is to conduct a feasibility study into your district’s bylaws and building requirements to confirm the design’s compliance. Ongoing communication is essential to maintain a clear direction, and we will take care of the coordination of professional Surveyors, Engineering, and Planning Departments that make up the team working for you in order to obtain the building permits.
Step 3
The third step is taking the finalized design content and preparing it into the multiple views and plan format to complete the Construction Drawing Package. The drawing package will be formatted and reviewed to make sure all required information for a successful submission is applied.
