Project stage 2 of 5
Predesign
We turn your goals into a written brief for the project, so the design starts from clear requirements.
Included
What we do
- A kick-off meeting to review your goals, budget and schedule
- A room list with sizes and how the spaces should connect
- A review of the photos, plan ideas and notes you send us
- Set up of the project drawing file
- Two design meetings to confirm the direction
Result
What you get
- A project brief we both agree on before drawing starts
- Early notice of any site or zoning limits that affect the design
Estimate ranges
Predesign price ranges
Choose your project type and size to narrow the range. Every price is an estimate.
Every price is an estimate range, before tax. Your final price depends on the size, site and scope of your project.
