Architectural design

In-house drawings, permitting and engineering coordination — so design decisions are made with construction cost in the room.

Overview

What this actually involves

The most expensive drawings are the ones that get redesigned after pricing. When design and construction sit in separate offices, homeowners routinely spend months and thousands of dollars on a plan that turns out to cost double the budget — and then start over.

Our in-house design service puts cost information in the room while decisions are still cheap to change. You can also bring us your own architect; we coordinate with outside design teams constantly and are glad to.

How We Approach It

Where projects like this go wrong — and how we prevent it

Cost-aware from the first sketch

Real construction pricing informs the design as it develops, not after it is finished.

Permit-ready drawing sets

Documents prepared for the jurisdiction you are actually in, including the slower island reviews.

Engineering coordinated

Structural, and where required geotechnical and elevation work, managed as part of the package.

One accountable party

If a detail does not work in the field, the people who drew it and the people building it are the same firm.

Questions

What homeowners ask us

Yes. Design is available as a standalone service, though most clients who start with our design team continue into construction with us.

Then keep them. We build from outside plans regularly and coordinate directly with architects and engineers throughout. We will review the set for constructability before pricing.

Yes — drawings, submissions, revisions and inspections. Timelines vary considerably by jurisdiction, and we set expectations for yours specifically at the outset.

We produce visuals appropriate to the project so you can understand the space before it is built. What we do not do is present a rendering as though it were finished work.
