PROJECT CONSULTATION AGREEMENT

              

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Thank you for your interest in our Project Consultation. Planning before design will help optimize the value of your project, reduce risk, and save you time, money, and frustration – it’s the first step we require for all our clients.  We’ll analyze the relevant regulations, help you clarify your needs and goals, and identify promising options so you can undertake your project with greater clarity and confidence.  It’s also a chance to work with us on a low-commitment basis while gaining valuable insight into your project, and to determine if we’re a good mutual fit for the larger endeavor of design, permitting, and construction. 

 

Our Project Consultation process is described below.  Once you've scheduled your site visit or office/virtual meeting and paid the fee, you will receive Part 1 of the questionnaire to fill and return to us before the date of your consultation. 

 

The Questionnaire

Our detailed questionnaire, Part 2, captures the needs and wishes of your family regarding your new home and the life you wish to lead in it.  Part 2 of the questionnaire helps us with understanding your intentions and goals for the project.  We'll go through this part of the questionnaire during our In-Person Meeting. 

​

The In-Person Meeting

Site Visit  for Renovations/Additions

We personally visit your project site to understand the existing conditions.  During the visit, we typically take photographs, a few general measurements, observe any significant site features and discuss your project goals for insight specific to you and your property. 

​

Office or Virtual Meeting for New Builds

We discuss your property and its potential for development based on information from an aerial view or any survey or plat you have for the property.  All information regarding the site is provided by the property owner. 

​

Toward the end of our In-Person Meeting, if it feels like a mutual good fit and you’re ready to proceed, we'll discuss the next steps in our process, how we structure our architectural services fees and accurately recommend the right service that fits your needs.  We will follow up with a proposal for services.
