Step 2: Final Design

In design development, we will transform the sketches developed in sketch design into a more specific design proposal. This typically will involve drafting plans, sections, and elevations and developing three-dimensional sketches of the project. The drawings will also address basic structural, mechanical and electrical systems. We'll review with you choices for finishes and products, such as siding, windows, doors, countertops, cabinets, etc.

If your budget is finite, we may recommend that we employ the services of a professional cost estimator, or a contractor or two to provide estimates for your project. At this time, we may discuss how portions of the design can be altered or phased in the event actual costs are greater than estimates.
