How It Works
Design Customization
We specialize in crafting customized architectural designs that reflect your unique tastes and vision. The customization process starts with a comprehensive design consultation, which you can schedule independently of purchasing any plans. Our structured three-phase process is outlined below.
1. Zoom Meeting
Objective: To understand your vision, needs, and objectives.
Details: We'll discuss your design goals, preferences, and any specific requirements you have for your project. This conversation helps us align our approach with your expectations.
2. Schematic Concept Design
Objective: To visualize the proposed modifications.
Details: We will prepare schematic concept plans and renderings for your project based on our initial discussion. This visual representation shows how the modifications will look upon completion. Please note, this is a preliminary concept, not the final design or modified construction drawings.
3. Design Services Proposal
Objective: To provide a comprehensive plan for implementation.
Details: After you review and approve the schematic concept design, we will create a detailed design proposal. This quote includes precise timelines and costs for completing the desired modifications.

Details & FAQs
Important details about design consultations.
Please note that consultations are available for a fee of $750. This fee encompasses our three-phase process, as outlined above.
Our consultations are intended for modifying a single existing plan, allowing edits of up to 50% of the plan. If you wish to explore changes beyond this scope, such as modifying more than 50% of a plan, combining multiple plans, or creating a design from scratch, additional fees for schematic concept development will apply. The additional fee will be determined after the zoom meeting and will vary based on the complexity of your request.
Additionally, please note that your consultation includes one set of design schematics. While reasonable adjustments can be made, extensive changes or new concepts require us to prepare new schematics. Each set of schematics incurs the same consultation fee.
How do I schedule a consultation?

Structural Engineering
We offer structural engineering services to complement our architectural offerings. During a design consultation, you will have the option to discuss structural engineering solutions tailored to your project. Please note that if you book a consultation solely to discuss structural engineering solutions, the consultation fee still applies. Additional details below.
