Our team is familiar with commercial systems and methodology and can advise clients on these options. We can also provide references to qualified contractors and consultants. Our commercial project range from retail, office, clinics, industrial, and multi-family projects, and we can assist with remodeling, additions, and new construction.

The Design Process

Our design process typically begins with gathering survey or site plan of property, dimensions of existing house, and information from owners regarding wants and needs for the project. In the design development phase, we create plans and elevations based on the information provided. We address zoning, city ordinances, and building codes, and explore design options to meet your functional and aesthetic requirements.
