We’ve completed the “predesign” and SHARE a VISION for your project. Now the team expands to include engineers and consultants needed to meet your specific needs. They will be ‘brought up to speed’ so that they also understand and SHARE the VISION. At this critical stage of your project, our ability to listen, communicate and bring ideas to the table is key. In the “design” phase we will use the information gathered to bring efficiency, environmental responsibility and creativity to your project. During this phase we will do some or all of these things:

Create a Schematic Design

• Establish an image for the building
• Resolve function needs
• Consider sustainability
• Consider effect on site
• Consider effect on community
• Establish electrical and mechanical systems
• Designate furniture and equipment
• Comply with Building Codes
• Consider land use

Generate Building Instructions, which are Construction Documents, and include:

• Plans and Specifications

This phase produces your project’s INNOVATIVE DESIGN and establishes the quality expected.
