How We Work

Our journey together begins with an introductory meeting, where we discuss the scope of work and your wish list and address any questions or concerns you may have. To facilitate this conversation, feel free to bring any lists of desired spaces, exterior images, or other relevant materials. This meeting allows us to gauge the time required to complete your project and provide an accurate fee for our architectural and structural drawings.

Upon approval, we move on to the conceptual drawing phase, where we develop a floor plan and site layout. We work closely with you to fine-tune the design based on your feedback, ensuring that the final product aligns with your vision. If a builder is involved, we collaborate with them during this stage to maintain focus on the project's timeline and budget.

As the design progresses, we create exterior elevations and present them to you for your feedback, fine-tuning and eventual approval. If your project is located in a development that requires 3D renderings for the Homeowners' Association, we partner with a third-party specialist to produce high-quality images as needed.

Once the site and floor plans, as well as elevations, have been approved, we proceed to the construction document phase. We prepare a complete set of drawings, including both architectural and structural drawings, all stamped and ready for submission to obtain a building permit. We remain available for on-site consultations during construction to address any builder questions and ensure a smooth project execution.

Our commitment to excellence has earned us a solid reputation, with 99% of our business coming from word-of-mouth referrals. Let Studio L Architecture bring your dream home to life, one step at a time.
