Our 6 Step Design Process
We begin with a conversation to understand your goals, and budget. During this stage, we review your site, share initial insights, and confirm the scope of work. Most consultations and early assessments can be completed within one to two weeks.
Ideas take shape through early sketches, layouts, and inspiration boards. This is where we define the big-picture vision—style, flow, and the relationship of spaces to daily needs and program. Concept design typically takes two to four weeks depending on the complexity of your project.
Concepts evolve into scaled drawings and preliminary 3D visuals. We refine layouts, begin exploring materials, and confirm the overall design direction together. Clients can expect three to five weeks for this stage as ideas are tested and adjusted.
We dive deeper into details—materials, finishes, lighting, and built-in features. At this stage, we coordinate with engineers and consultants to ensure the design is functional and ready to build. This phase usually takes four to six weeks as details are finalized.
Our team creates a complete set of technical drawings and specifications—plans, elevations, sections, and detailed notes—that your builder will use. Depending on the project size, this stage often takes six to ten weeks to produce a precise and thorough set.
We prepare and submit documents to your local jurisdiction, coordinate revisions if required, and secure the necessary permits. Permitting time varies greatly depending on the city, but most approvals take four to eight weeks.
