Frequently asked questions

How involved will I be in the design process?

Your input is essential. We collaborate with you at key milestones—listening to your ideas, sharing concepts, and refining the design together—so the final outcome reflects your needs and vision.

How long does a project typically take?

Timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the project. A typical residential design might take 3–6 months from concept to permit-ready drawings, while larger projects may take longer. We provide a clear project timeline during the proposal phase.

What do I need to prepare before starting a project?

We recommend having a clear idea of your goals, budget, preferred timeline, and any references or inspiration you love. Don’t worry if it’s all still forming—we’ll help you shape the vision and provide the structure to bring it to life.

How much does architectural design cost?

Costs depend on the project type, scope, and complexity. We offer both fixed and percentage-based pricing models depending on what fits best. During our discovery call, we’ll outline a custom proposal that’s transparent and tailored to your needs.

Do you handle permits and approvals?

Yes. We prepare all necessary architectural documents and coordinate with engineers and consultants to help facilitate permit approvals. While we don’t directly issue permits, we make the process smoother by managing the details on your behalf.
