We start by conducting a thorough consultation with our clients to understand their objectives and requirements. This allows us to create a comprehensive, realistic, and holistic design concept that aligns with the architectural program. We then perform an on-site examination to gather data on the existing conditions and review site and floor plans. Our team also evaluates the building code and zoning regulations for the approved site and floor plans.
We merge the client's vision, site analysis, and data collection to develop schematic plans that clearly understand the project's scope, scale, and relationships between components. Our schematic designs include drawings and documents that illustrate the appearance project's appearance, site plan, and orientation, site plan, and orientation of the project. We collaborate closely with our clients to refine and perfect the design until a mutually agreed direction is reached.
We aim to create the most detailed designs and plans, including building elevations, floor plan layouts, exterior and interior renderings, and mechanical, plumbing, and electrical/control systems. Our design development phase culminates in a fully designed building exterior, a completed interior layout, finalized space dimensions, and selected materials.
Our construction documents and specifications include architectural, structural, and MEP construction drawings and include floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and other detailed drawings. Our documents provide accurate layout dimensions, geometry, colors, textures, material intent, component assembly details, and coordination between all architectural disciplines. These construction documents and specifications convey the full design intent to the builder and are essential to the project's success.
When it comes to obtaining a building permit, the construction documents may require supplementary information. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that all necessary information is provided to the local plans reviewer, and we monitor the review process to ensure that the project stays on track.
In order to make the bidding process as seamless as possible for our clients, we are happy to introduce them to reputable builders we work with and trust. Additionally, we are available to attend interviews and walk-throughs, evaluate contractor qualifications, and provide support with obtaining and reviewing bids.
At Too.Architects, we aim to build confidence in our clients during the construction process by managing the contractor and ensuring the building aligns with your vision. Our field observation services, site visits, and regular updates keep you informed, and we verify workmanship, materials, and billing accuracy. We also ensure compliance, handle change orders, and review correspondence to ensure a final punch list for a successful project completion. Upon completion, we will provide all necessary construction documents.
