The initial phase begins with a thorough understanding of the project’s scope and client goals. This includes site analysis, gathering measurements, and documenting existing conditions to establish the “as-built” foundation. We work closely with clients to develop a Detailed Program that outlines proposed additions, changes, and potential alternatives. Schematic Design Documents are then prepared, consisting of preliminary plans, elevations, and 3D views. These early designs can be used to obtain preliminary pricing from contractors, ensuring the project is aligned with budget expectations from the outset.
