1. Design Discussion
2. Sketch
This is where everything starts. All ideas are brought to the table where the client and our design team start with a broad vision and finish with a concept narrowed down through cooperative collaboration and brainstorm sessions.
The data from step 1 is then used to create several sketches to visualize building location or any important features. Interior, exterior and plan view sketches are produces and utilized to increase the project feasibility and overall design effectiveness.

Project Schedules
Prior to construction, the project schedule is formed to show the start & finish date for each building activity. Activities may be onsite, offsite or milestones that can also be categorized with a labor and material cost. This helps follow the budget while tracking the schedule.

3D Models
A 3d visual brings the floor plans and sketches to life. This is where our team can show the results of all the ideas in a model while still being susceptible to more developments. The model can also point out challenges prior to construction which helps mitigate some of the unforeseen issues.
