Design
Architecture & Planning
Process
Here at Maine Design + Build we look to establish a design intent early on in the project, this allows the process to become a journey to a solution.
It is then through clear communication with our clients and sub-contractors that we understand their goals as we begin sculpting the elements of a space.
We believe that construction informs the physical while theory guides perception. This characteristic integrates feasibility and constructability into our process throughout each stage of design.
