- An initial, no cost, meeting is scheduled to discuss the scope of the project, possible design concepts, budget considerations, review the existing conditions and/or land features.
- A proposal for design services is submitted.
- For remodeling and addition projects, existing conditions are surveyed, recorded, evaluated and documented as “as-built” drawings if existing drawings do not exist.
- One or two alternative schemes are considered and presented in sufficient detail to convey the concept. Adjustments are made as necessary. Budgets are re-evaluated as necessary.
- The selected concept is further developed as the refinement process begins the construction drawings. The drawings are further reviewed and the budget is again re-evaluated.
- Final construction drawings are completed. The documents are final reviewed and checked. Budgets are again re-evaluated as necessary.
- The drawings are released to contractors for bidding and the eventual building permit process.
- Additional services may include assistance during the bidding and the construction processes among others.
