For us, the Schematic Design Phase is just the starting point on the way to a beautiful new building. We follow through with Design Development, Construction Documentation, Interior Architecture and Construction Administration to make sure your vision becomes a reality.
Each step in the design, development and documentation process brings out a higher level of detail and brings your project one step closer to construction. Our family of companies works together seamlessly to ensure your project goes according to plan every step of the way.
Architects’ fees range from 8-15% of cost of construction depending on the level or services chosen and the type and size of the project. Typically, the larger the scope, the lower the percentage, due to economies of scale.
Each project is unique, and so are the associated fees. Contact us.
Maybe you have a clear image in your mind, or maybe you just know you need more room and a fresh look. We capture your aesthetic and functional needs in designs that will make a statement for decades to come. We also ensure your home will be marketable should you ever decide to sell it.

Once we’ve completed the preliminary design phase we will start to fill in the practical details of your interior and exterior designs, including materials and systems. At this stage, we make sure our designs will work with the landscape and that everything will meet local building codes.
- Interior Architecture
- Zoning, Variances & Entitlements (TIF, Special Use, Conditional Use, etc)
- ADA Compliance
Before you can begin construction, your designs must be translated into Construction Documents which contractors use for permitting, bidding and constructing the design. We take care to make sure no detail is lost in translation and each step is managed with maximum efficiency.
- Permitting, Code Violation
- Design Architect / Architect of Record
- Construction Administration
For continuity throughout the construction process, we recommend our sister company Architectural Contracting Service, LLC.
