Possibilities > Plans > Permits!
We’re here to help start and serve your project throughout the design and building permit process.
Possibilities
We start every project with an in person meeting to go over the project’s possibilities and to begin understanding what you envision for this future building project. Things like property location, building type and how your dreams can be made into a reality with the budget you’ve set aside are discussed in detail. We then process all of this gathered information and prepare design proposals. At this point, a design presentation meeting is arranged where we navigate the pro’s, con’s and rough budgets for the project’s design options. Together, we then work through these options to determine which design makes the most sense for you. We iterate the design with you as many times as it takes until a final design is satisfyingly selected as ready to proceed onto the plans stage of the project.
Plans
Once we have a final design you are excited to build, the design is submitted for an initial city zoning review(when applicable) to confirm its compliance. We then coordinate with structural engineers and mechanical HVAC designers to develop solutions wherever necessary. As these additional components are being calculated and determined, the remainder of the drawings and details are compiled for the building permit construction drawing package.
Permits
Once the building permit drawing package is prepared, we proceed to complete all the necessary application filings and communications with your municipal building department. If the project has additional requirements such as obtaining a minor variance at a Committee of Adjustment, we can provide representation for the project and lead it through this additional planning department requirement prior to obtaining the final building permits. We keep working with the building department and any additional governing authorities until your project has received the building permits and necessary permissions it needs in order to get started.
