Project flow

Five stages, each built on the one before

STAGE 01

Programming & alignment

Operational requirements, headcount, adjacencies, and brand expectations are captured in a working program. Constraint review covers lease, base building, and code envelope.

STAGE 02

Schematic Design

Spatial direction, planning logic, and material concepts that match business intent and construction reality - not just renderings without a path to build.

STAGE 03

Design Development

Coordinated resolution with MEP, structural, and specialty consultants. Decisions are pressure-tested against construction sequencing and budget.

STAGE 04

Construction Documents

Permit-ready set with clear specifications, structured to minimize RFIs and change orders during pricing and construction.

STAGE 05

Construction Administration

Shop drawings, RFIs, site visits, and punch list - protecting design intent through close-out so the as-built space matches what was issued.

FAQ

Common questions on a fit-out engagement

What does full-service architectural design include?

Full-service design typically includes programming, space planning, design development, consultant coordination, permitting documents, and construction administration to guide a project from early concepts through construction completion.

Do you coordinate engineers and consultants?

Yes. We coordinate MEP, structural, and specialty consultants into a unified drawing set to maintain consistency, reduce conflicts during construction, and streamline communication between all project disciplines.

What are construction documents used for?

Construction documents communicate the design intent to contractors, permitting agencies, and consultants. They include detailed drawings, specifications, dimensions, and technical information required for pricing, permitting, and field construction.

Why is construction administration important?

Construction administration helps ensure the project is built according to the approved drawings through shop drawing reviews, RFIs, site visits, and punch list coordination during active construction.

How detailed should permit drawings be?

Permit drawings should clearly communicate code compliance, construction intent, and coordination between disciplines. Well-developed drawings reduce delays during permitting, bidding, and field execution while minimizing costly revisions later.
