The workflow
Our Workflow during your renovation project typically involves the following key stages:
Initial Consultation: During the initial consultation, the architect will meet with the client to discuss the renovation project, including the client's goals, budget, and desired timeline.
Site Analysis: The architect will conduct a site analysis to determine the existing conditions and limitations of the property, including the structure, mechanical systems, and other physical features.
Design Development: Based on the initial consultation and site analysis, the architect will develop a design for the renovation project. This may involve several iterations of the design as the architect works with the client to refine the concept and ensure that it meets their goals and requirements.
Presentation of the Design: The architect will present the design to the client for review and feedback. This stage may also involve presentations to other stakeholders, such as building inspectors and contractors.
Construction Documentation: Once the design is approved, the architect will prepare construction documentation, including plans, elevations, and specifications. This documentation will be used to obtain necessary permits and to guide the construction process.
Bidding and Contract Administration: The architect will help the client select a contractor and negotiate the terms of the construction contract. During the construction phase, the architect will also provide ongoing support to ensure that the work is completed in accordance with the design and the construction contract.
Project Closeout: Upon completion of the construction phase, the architect will conduct a final review of the project to ensure that all work has been completed to the client's satisfaction. The architect will also assist with any necessary punch lists or warranty work.
Throughout the renovation project, the architect will work closely with the client to ensure that their vision for the project is achieved and that all aspects of the renovation are completed to their satisfaction.
