Your Step-by-Step Guide

Every detail, from strategy to scheduling, is handled with intention and expertise, giving you a refined roadmap and full confidence moving into the build phase.

How It Works

Step 1: Share Your Project Details

It all starts with a quick information submission so we can get familiar with your project goals and overall vision. Once received, we’ll follow up to outline what the plan-drafting process looks like and answer any early questions.

Step 2: Planning Agreement Call

Next, we’ll hop on an introductory call to review your objectives, timeline, and what you can expect from start to finish. This helps us make sure your project is set up for success from day one.

Step 3: Proposal + Deposit

After our call, you’ll receive a formal planning estimate and agreement to review. Once approved, we’ll send over the project deposit request so we can officially get started.

Step 4: Site Visit + Measurements

With your proposal signed and deposit complete, we’ll schedule an in-person site visit. During this visit, our plan designer will take detailed measurements and gather everything needed to begin your construction drawings.

Step 5: Drafting + Revisions

About 3–4 weeks after the site visit, you’ll receive an initial draft of your plans. From there, we’ll collaborate on revisions to refine and finalize your design. (Up to two revisions are included.)

Step 6: Final Plans + Budget Overview

Once plans are approved, we’ll release your final set of 2D construction plans and provide a high-level budget overview. If needed, we can also coordinate structural engineering so you’re fully prepared for the construction phase.

Step 7: Project Pricing

With finalized plans in hand, our team can then assemble detailed construction and finish-level pricing—giving you full clarity before moving into the build.
