ONE STEP AT A TIME

Your project.
A clear process.

Here’s how we work through your detached structure project, from the first conversation to the permit drawing package.

01

Project Consultation

We discuss the intended use, approximate size, location, priorities and overall design goals.

02

Zoning Review

We review applicable setbacks, lot coverage, building height and other property-specific zoning requirements.

03

Site Information

Existing structures, property constraints, servicing, access and relevant site conditions are documented.

04

Concept Design

We develop the layout, exterior appearance and overall building form around how you plan to use the space.

05

Design Development

The selected concept is refined with dimensions, elevations, roof design, door sizes and structural considerations.

06

Consultant Coordination

Where required, we coordinate structural, HVAC, grading, septic and other project consultants.

07

Permit Drawings

We prepare the construction drawing package required for building permit submission.

08

Permit Coordination

We assist with municipal review comments and required drawing revisions through the permit process.
