Many people are unsure of how to get their construction project started and are concerned that without being organized, the design process will take too much time and effort resulting in high archtiect and engineering fees. Not enough upfront research could result in trial and error design leading to extra fees and pieces of your project could be left out, resulting in making expensive changes after building starts.
We developed this process a few years ago because we saw a huge issue of people starting design and technical drawings BEFORE they fully researched what the project required. We would see many projects go over time and over budget, both design fee and construction costs.
Initial research removes the need to make assumptions and trial and error design. This Pre-Designosis process provides you with a report that can be used by your design architect for the best design delivered on time and with lower fees.
What You Get:
• Client Meeting: A meeting with you, the client, to gain understanding of the goals and needs for
the project
• Property Walk-Through: Walk through the property to see existing conditions and identify the
property's opportunities and constraints.
• Code Analysis Report: Provide a detailed analysis of the applicable building codes and zoning
development standards.
• Preliminary Program: A written report of the initial meeting outlining the project needs, desired
functions, and proposed spaces to acheive your project
• Pre-Designosis Report: A written report summarizing all the above information that can be
used by us or any other architect as the basis to begin conceptual design.
By beginning with this low-cost process you will be armed with a report formatted for designers that will ultimately produce a better result for you.
