We  set with our Clients to define the limit for the project in the“scope of work”and sketch out 2 to 3   Schematic Plan. [back to top]

    Design Development expands upon the approved schematic plan. Design studies develop more   detailed drawings of Plans, Elevations and Sections for Client review. An Outline of specifications is   prepared listing materials and room finishes. A general project review is made by a structural and/or   civil engineer, as needed. [back to top]

    Construction Documents are working drawing and specifications submit to the Building Department   and used for construction. A complete set of Construction Documents includes drawing and   calculations from Civil Engineer, Structural Engineer, and other Consultants as needed. [back to top]

     Conditional Use Permit allows a city or county to consider special uses which is essential or   desirable to the community, which is not allowed right within a zoning district, but through a public   hearing process. A conditional use permit can provide flexibility within a  zoning ordinance.   [back to top]
