Consultation

  Consultation is a brain storming session that:

  • looks at what your goals are and what you want

  • analyzes the problems and possibilities

  • suggests directions a project might take.

Consultation helps you answer important questions, such as:

  • Is this project worth doing?

  • What type of work is involved?

  • How much work is involved?

  • What sort of budget might be required?

Design

Design takes the goals and ideas developed during the consultation process and creates a working model on paper.  This is called a set of plan is broken down into sub-plans such as:

  • floor plans

  • framing plans

  • electrical plans

  • property layout

  • planting plants

  • details and construction drawings.

      Some plans refer to the entire building or landscape while others refer to only a piece of the overall project.  Plans can be either very simple or very complex. Ideally, the finished plan should have enough details for the contractor to be able to make a bid and complete the project to your satisfaction.

Management

      In the project management phase, we help find contractors, negotiate contracts, and make sure the project is done as specified. We may also take the process one step farther.

With remodels and additions, we might:

  • select light fixtures

  •  select colors and refine details

In the landscape we might:

  • refine the slope of the land,

  • select the stones being used,

  • select the trees that occupy important spots,

  • place the plants and rocks

  • add additional plants where needed.
