We understand that not every project may be within our scope, and you might have already invested time and resources with another architect. However, our commitment remains to ensure that every design and construction document is meticulously crafted to bring your vision to life. Our goal is to review your design solution, ensuring it aligns with your objectives, complies with building codes, and meets industry standards while ensuring the quality of work corresponds to the fees paid.
We offer two key stages for review: the Design Phase and the Construction Document Phase. At any stage, we provide a critical and candid assessment. Our fees are based on an hourly rate or square footage, depending on the scope of the review required.
We have often found that clients, after completing the design and engineering process, encounter significant deficiencies or code compliance issues during our review. We are committed to identifying these problems and addressing them to safeguard your interests.
Builders frequently refer clients to us for an additional perspective on their designs. We offer valuable insights and suggest minor modifications to enhance existing plans, preventing major issues during construction. Our detailed review often uncovers nuances such as problematic roof overhangs or potential water infiltration issues, allowing us to address these concerns early on.
With our extensive experience, we provide suggestions for materials, details, and engineering solutions that can elevate your design. Our aim is to offer objective feedback, ensuring compliance with building codes and standards, and identifying value engineering opportunities. We guide you through each step of our review process, from assessing your initial program and requirements to delivering a final written assessment, keeping you informed throughout.
