Design
Our team will collaborate with the stakeholders of your project, from initial planning and schematics through design development, to capture your vision in a detailed set of plans. We use drawings, presentations, 3D renderings, and samples of material finishes to bring a concept to life.
Construction
With 20 years of successfully completed projects to draw from, and a never-ending pursuit to learn the latest building trends and ecologically mindful practices, we will ensure your project is built with integrity. Our internal team of builders and network of subcontractors is prepared, passionate, and precise.
Management
Our team is prepared for any project, any size, any dimension. We hand-select a team of in-house talent best-suited for the nuances of each project, including architectural designers, artisans and craftspeople, construction project managers, expert tradespeople, and engineers.

Online Inquiry
First, tell us a little bit about your dream project (description, budget, timeline) by submitting our inquiry form here. Once you submit the form, you'll be asked to schedule an initial phone call.
Phone Call
You'll chat with our in-house marketing rep who will review your project inquiry and ask you additional questions in order to get a better sense of what you're looking for.
Onsite Meeting
If we are a good fit, we'll schedule a time to meet in person, either touring your site or having you visit our office. During that meeting, we’ll likely discuss ballpark pricing, assess what services we might offer, and consider next steps.
Engagement
We’ll follow up with a formal agreement outlining our proposed services and the terms of our engagement. Depending on your project’s developmental stage, this might be a design, pre-construction, or construction contract. Please note that detailed project estimates are only offered as a contracted service in the pre-construction phase outlined below.
Project Phases
We offer services for all or a select number of the phases outlined below. Our versatile working model allows us to meet your project at any stage.
Design & Planning

Design & Planning
In the design process, we listen to your internal leanings, thought processes, and intuitive responses to tease out the undercurrents driving your vision. In the concept/schematic phase of the design process, the form, massing and spatial planning of your project is developed. In the design development phase, we define the specific features of your project, bringing out subtle and distinctive qualities. As we ask further questions, we refine our drawings and arrive at specifications about color, fixtures, finishes, and other details. Having imagined, developed, and refined your project’s design, we enter the construction document phase. Here, we emphasize the project’s technicalities. The result is a ready-to-build-from set of documents to be submitted for permits and approvals.
Pre-construction
Pre-Construction
Pre-construction refers to a series of labor-intensive planning processes that precede physical construction. The nuts and bolts of pre-construction depend on the size and complexity of your project. Still, the process typically involves the elaboration of detailed project schedules and estimates, back-and-forth communication with contractors and vendors, and permitting and approvals from local authorities.
At this stage, we can offer detailed cost estimates for your project as a collaborative endeavor. As we refine estimates, we remind you that budgeting is an iterative process and that a project's highly nuanced and specialized nature will likely shift price targets.
Typically, the deliverable for this pre-construction phase is everything needed to establish a construction contract.

Construction
Once a construction contract has been signed, your project manager will assemble a team that might include in-house talent, subcontractors, specialized tradespeople, and consultants. Materials, including those with long lead times, will be ordered and necessary permits will be secured.
After this buy-out phase, the building crew and all necessary materials will be mobilized on-site. As construction gets underway, your project manager will remain in close communication, keeping you informed of your project’s progress, maintaining a collaborative relationship that tracks your schedule and budget (and changes thereof), and tackling any high-level construction or financial challenges that might arise.

Once your project is completed, demobilization begins. Construction equipment and materials are removed from the site and all necessary clean-up is conducted. We also provide you with any tutorial manuals necessary for systems operations.
For in-house purposes or at a trade partner’s request, we might also ask to schedule photography sessions to document the project’s outcome.
At this stage, we will close any pending financial or legal matters and celebrate our accomplishments. We also hope to gather constructive feedback that can help us refine our working model. The story doesn’t necessarily end here. From small to large projects, we’ve worked with many of our clients for years. We hope your project will be the start of a long-standing, collaborative, and rewarding relationship.
