The first step in the Concept Development process is to discuss with the client specific goals for the project. This enables both parties to have a mutually agreeable expectation, budget and timeline.
Next, we analyze the extent to which existing conditions affect your desired goals. There may be a range of alternative design solutions. Discussing the pros and cons of alternatives helps us focus and select the design direction that most closely fits your needs and objectives. From this emerges a design that is then drawn as a conceptual plan, “to scale,” using CAD and 3D software. We review this with you along with necessary sketches, illustrative details and graphics, and a preliminary cost projection for the proposed scope of work.
We also encourage continued client participation through site and office meetings to review proposed construction materials and potential budget alternatives.
