Our Design Process

We help you turn your dream home into reality with our phased design approach. Here are the steps we follow:

We specify the materials and details, and create the drawings and specifications for construction. We work with you to select the finishes and fixtures.

Phase 5 - Permitting

We apply for the permit and submit the drawings to the city. We communicate with the city staff and address any issues or revisions until the permit is issued.

Phase 6 - Construction Administration

We communicate with you and the contractor to ensure the design is executed as intended. We review the contractor’s work and visit the site regularly to monitor the progress. We support you throughout the construction process to achieve a high quality finished project.
