The drawings decide everything.
We resolve your project completely on paper and hand you a package any builder can price and build from.
Start a projectDesign-led, by design.
Every build is decided long before anyone breaks ground. The drawings set what the project costs, how smoothly it permits, and whether the finished space feels the way you imagined. So we are a drafting and design studio first. If you want one team to carry the project through construction as well, that is an option, never a requirement.
Four phases.
Discovery and brief
Before anything is drawn, we understand the site, the program, the budget, the timeline, and how you intend to use the space. No assumptions before the brief.
- Initial consultation
- Site visit and assessment
- Program development
- Budget framing
- Feasibility review
- Project brief document
- Preliminary budget range
- Timeline overview
- Go or no-go decision
Concept and design
Concept options, then schematic drawings and design development until the plan is right. Interiors run alongside the architecture, so finishes and millwork are decided with the spaces, not after them.
- Concept design
- Schematic drawings
- Design development
- Interior design direction
- Client reviews and revisions
- Concept and schematic drawings
- Developed plans and elevations
- Preliminary finish direction
- Updated budget alignment
Permit and construction documents
Design becomes documentation: permit-ready drawings plus specifications, finish schedules, and millwork drawings, with engineering coordinated along the way. Nothing is left for a site crew to guess at.
- Permit drawings and application
- Engineering coordination
- Construction documents
- Finish schedule and specifications
- Millwork drawings
- Permit-ready drawing set
- Specifications package
- Finish schedule
- Millwork drawings
- Updated budget
Builder handoff and design support
Take the package to any builder, or one we help you select. We stay available through construction to answer site questions, review shop drawings, and make sure what gets built matches what was drawn.
- Builder selection support
- Pricing and tender questions
- Shop drawing review
- Site questions and clarifications
- Design-intent reviews
- A builder-ready package
- Ongoing design support
- A build that matches the drawings
Want one team end to end?
Some clients take our drawings to their own builder. Others want the team that designed the project to see it built. Through our construction division, construction management is available as an add-on to any design engagement. The advantage is continuity: the people running your site know the intent behind every line.

What’s helpful to have ready.
Site or address
Owned or still looking, the location tells us about zoning, setbacks, and site conditions before we meet.
A rough budget range
Not a number to the dollar. A range tells us whether we can design the project you have in mind, and where the money should go.
A sense of what you want
Photos, a list, a description. The more we understand your intentions, the better the brief.
