Modern floor plans and contemporary house plans. logically designed home plans.

Pre Design
This is the point at which we begin to gather all of the information
that will ultimatley affect the quality of life in your new home.
There are many factors that make each project unique. The
building site, orientation, views, desired spaces and their functions,
Aesthetics, Budget & more. This information is used to mold your
dreams into a home. We end up with a collaboration of information
specific to your needs that will be used throughout the entire
design process. To help this process along I ask all of my clients to
request our "Home" Work Assignment. By filling out this
questionnaire, you begin to assemble the raw information required
for a successful and fun project.

Phase One - Schematic Design
Now that we have collected your input, ideas, and dreams in the many
different forms of your own sketches, pictures, cutouts from various
magazines & websites I can begin the Schematic Drawings. I take this
information and begin the task of translating it into visual concepts in the
form of sketches, models and preliminary drawings.

Phase Two - Design Documents
The objectives of this phase are different from those in the
schematic design phase. In essence, they are further
refinements of the schematic design. This phase remains
developmental however technical in the sense that exact sizes
are assigned to various components & structure. Code, space
requirements and material selection begin to come into play. At
this time we begin drawing in AutoCAD to ensure our ideas work
as needed when accurately drawn.

Phase Three - Construction Documents
The Construction Documents phase takes the design documents finalized and
approved to clarify them for construction. At this time all major design issues have
been determined. We spend time at this point on drawing proper documentation
unique to your project. Details are further refined at this point and as the
construction process calls for the need. The main emphasis of this phase is to verify
that the information is on the drawings so that the project can be bid for
construction.

During Construction
We am always readily available to help and answer questions
during Construction. We like to check in on occasion to see how
the project is coming along, take photos and talk shop with the
contractors. Although full Construction Supervision is not
provided under my basic design agreement this service is
available. A successful project is a combination of many things.
The most important being a positive attitude among all team
players coupled with strong communication.
