FAQs

Common questions about architectural services, engagement, and delivery.

How do we start?

We begin by listening to your vision, constraints, and goals. Before drawings appear, we align with your team and coordinate with engineers and planners to establish direction. This foundation prevents missteps later.

What's the typical timeline?

Straightforward projects move from concept to construction documents in four to six months. Complex work or heavily regulated projects require more time. We provide realistic schedules upfront, not surprises at the end.

How is code handled?

Code compliance lives in our process from day one, not as a final check. Our team knows local and state requirements thoroughly. Integrated design ensures buildings meet standards naturally.

Do you handle existing buildings?

Renovations require different thinking than new construction. We assess what’s there, identify real constraints, and design solutions that honor the building’s character while meeting current needs.

How do budgets work?

Budget is a design constraint from day one, not an obstacle. Cost estimating happens early and often. We work within your financial reality, keeping surprises rare.
