Feasibility Study -We can provide professional assistance in determining the feasibility of building on a particular site. Zoning and land use restrictions, views, access issues and effects of site conditions on building costs are just some of the areas we can assist you with. The best time to determine the suitability of a piece of land is before you purchase it and our expertise can help you make the best purchase decision.

Site Analysis-Examining the building site in this detail allows us to design homes that fit their unique location while working within municipal zoning regulations.

Programming-The programming phase is one of the most critical in every project. During this phase we will work with you to determine the spaces you would like in your new home, define the most important relationships between those spaces, and ascertain how you will use the spaces. The time taken to carefully evaluate and discuss our client's needs and desires during the programming phase often results in home designs that capture everything for which our clients are looking, in the first iteration.

Preliminary Design-The preliminary design phase is usually second only to moving into a completed home in terms of excitement and anticipation. Here we will take the information gathered during the programming phase and sketch plan concepts. When a scheme is chosen it will be refined into scaled floor plans. Sketch elevations and sections illustrating the conceptual vertical relationships will often accompany these plans.

Design Development-When you are satisfied with the preliminary design, the project will move into design development. We refine the floor plans, exterior elevations and building sections. Exterior finish materials will be indicated and significant trim concepts and architectural details may be shown at this time.

Construction Documents-We take pride in producing complete and accurate construction documents. So construction can move smoothly and easily.When your new home design is complete, the construction documents will be printed and made ready for lodging with the relevant government departments.

Advanced Visualizations - (Additional Fee)

We have been recognized both locally and nationally for the quality of our computer generated images and animations. We create a 3d computer model of nearly every project we design. We will also present detailed, computer generated animations showing the exterior of your home including terrain and vegetation. These exterior animations allow our clients to more fully understand the proposed design and visualize what their house will look like when it is built. Additional views, including interior stills or animations, can be provided to allow you to better understand the design of your new home.(Not included in construction plan fee).
