Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical timeline for a residential project?expand_more
A typical residential architectural project takes between 6 to 12 months from initial consultation to final permit approval. This includes schematic design, design development, construction documents, and navigating local zoning boards. Construction time is separate and varies significantly based on scale.
Do you handle obtaining building permits?expand_more
Yes, our team manages the entire permitting process. We prepare all necessary documentation, submit applications to local municipalities, and act as your representative during review board meetings.
How are your fees structured?expand_more
We typically structure our fees as a percentage of the total construction cost, usually ranging from 10% to 15% depending on project complexity. Alternatively, for well-defined scopes, we offer fixed-fee arrangements.
Can you work with my preferred contractor?expand_more
Absolutely. While we have a network of trusted builders we can recommend, we are fully capable and happy to collaborate closely with a contractor you have already selected to ensure the design vision is executed flawlessly.
