Our Pre-Design services typically begin on an hourly basis to provide consultation, working towards the the following goals:

1. Consult with client regarding project needs/goals (including an inventory of spaces).

2. Review information about space or site to assess it’s acceptability and feasibility.

3. Ascertain any special issues that might affect development, such as asbestos, zoning, environmental concerns, grading/detention/water quality, soil characteristics, views, and other site development issues. These site related issues are often done in conjunction with a local Civil Engineer familiar with developing projects in the area. May need Topographic and Tree Survey to adequately analyze the site.

4. Build a relationship of trust and knowledge with the client.

5. Develop a clear scope of work to be performed.

6. Produce preliminary/schematic drawings that may include Preliminary Site Plan and Preliminary Floor Plan.
