The journey begins with the Schematic Design and Budget Forecasting phase. Here, we capture the essence of your ideas, translating them into preliminary designs and loose concepts. This phase is crucial as it establishes the foundation for your home's design and defines the timeframe and budgeting parameters. Our team listens attentively to your aspirations, ensuring the initial concepts align seamlessly with your vision while laying a clear and transparent financial roadmap.

PHASE ONE:

SCHEMATIC DESIGN & BUDGET FORECASTING

Next, we delve into the Preliminary Design and Specifications phase. This stage is where the magic of detailed planning happens. We meticulously specify the systems within your home, such as heating, air conditioning, septic, and electrical systems, ensuring that every element is integrated harmoniously. Our architectural expertise shines through as we bring the schematic drawings to full scale, creating a cohesive and comprehensive design that considers every minute detail. This phase guarantees that your home is not only visually stunning but also structurally sound and optimized for functionality.

PHASE THREE:

DETAILED SELECTIONS & PRE-CONSTRUCTION

The final phase, Detailed Selections and Pre-Construction, is where your dream home starts to materialize. We finalize construction documents or blueprints, encompassing all the specifications and systems established in the previous phases. These blueprints are essential as they become the guiding force for turning your vision into reality. During this phase, you collaborate closely with our team to make all final selections, ensuring that every aspect – from finishes to fixtures – matches your taste and requirements perfectly.
