Architectural Programming and Layout

We translate lifestyle priorities into floor plans that maximize flow, daylight, and storage, calibrating room sizes to enhance comfort and function while balancing budget, edge conditions, and future adaptability, so your home feels intentional, timeless, and uniquely personal from day one.

Structural and MEP Coordination

Our engineers coordinate structure with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing pathways to avoid conflicts, protect ceiling heights, and support energy performance, ensuring the framing plan, equipment sizing, duct routes, and penetrations all align with architectural intent and local code requirements.

3D Visualization and Design Revisions

We provide immersive 3D views and photorealistic renderings that clarify massing, finishes, and lighting, then iterate based on your feedback until scale and aesthetics feel right, reducing change orders and delivering a fixed-price package you can approve with full confidence.

Permitting and Site Logistics

We manage all permits, coordinate with local authorities, and plan site access, staging, and safety, integrating surveys, soils reports, and utility confirmations into a build-ready package that removes friction and keeps approvals, inspections, and mobilization on a predictable, efficient timeline.

Permits and Agency Coordination

Our permit specialists compile drawings, energy forms, and environmental documents, track submittals, respond to plan check comments, and schedule required inspections, maintaining continuous communication with agencies so your project moves from review to approval without costly delays.

Survey, Soils, and Utilities Readiness

We order boundary and topographic surveys, commission geotechnical investigations, and verify water, sewer, electric, and gas availability, using this data to confirm foundation type, drainage strategy, and trenching routes that protect your budget and ensure long-term site performance.

Access, Staging, and Neighbor Notification

We design a logistics plan that addresses deliveries, crane access, temporary fencing, and parking, and we proactively notify neighbors, minimizing disruptions and keeping the site safe, organized, and compliant throughout excavation, framing, and finish installation phases.
