What We Offer

We act as the design advocate during the building process — aligning teams, managing expectations, and translating drawings into decisions. Whether we're guiding consultants, resolving on-site conflicts, or reviewing quality, our role is to preserve the integrity of the design.

Contractor and consultant coordination

Timeline and phase planning

Budget tracking and trade alignment

Design clarification and change review

Quality control through site visits

Conflict resolution and decision support

Final walkthrough and punchlist management

As-built updates and documentation

How Project
Coordination Flow

Our process is structured yet flexible.
We adapt to the specific build conditions and team dynamics of each project.

Understand the Build Plan

We review all construction documents and team roles to fully align with the scope and expectations.

Establish Communication Framework

We define how decisions are made, who’s responsible, and how updates are tracked.

Weekly Oversight & Coordination

We monitor progress, attend site visits, resolve design questions, and document each phase with clarity.

Close-Out & Review

We assist with the final walkthrough, ensure corrections are made, and organize a clear project handover.

Pricing Guidelines

Standalone coordination services begin at $5,000 for short-term oversight or consultation.

Full-project coordination typically ranges from $10,000–$22,000, depending on duration, complexity, and team structure.


Timeline

We typically begin coordination during the pre-construction or documentation phase and continue through handover.

Engagements span anywhere from 3 to 9 months, depending on the project schedule and client needs.

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.
