The cost of architectural services can vary significantly depending on the scope and complexity of the project, the location, and other factors. Typically charge fees based on a percentage of the total construction cost or an hourly rate. For example, an architectural project for ADU can cost $5K to $15K or even more, depending on the composition of the project and the client's wishes. Feel free to take a free estimate from us.

Project time depends on the size and complexity of the building. Typically, for standard lots, the design time for an average 3,000 sq.ft. house is 10-15 days. Complex projects of about 10,000 sq.ft. with interior design can take up to six months. Our team focuses on the highest quality drawings for submission to the check plan in the shortest possible time.

The architectural design includes all the necessary drawings to be submitted to the check plan in the city.
Usually the project includes such drawings:
1. Title Sheet
2. Site Plans
3. Floor plans
4. Roof plan
5. Elevations
6. Sections
7. Architectural details
8. Floor area verification plan (when the maximum permitted area is reached)
9. GRN (Green Building Forms)
10. LID (Low Impact Development)
Also specific sheets may be required depending on the requirements of a certain city.

Yes. One of our services is obtaining a building permit. We only do this for our own projects and those of our partners. If you only need a building permit, feel free to contact us and we will help you.

The number of changes to the project is covered by the contract and depends on the size and complexity of the building. Usually it is 3 major changes to the layout at the planning stage. After the approval of all major changes that affect the structural solutions, the project moves to the stage of preparation of the final documentation. At this stage, only small changes in small quantities are allowed.

We cooperate with leading specialists in related disciplines, such as structural design, topographic survey, soils report and etc. Working with us you can have peace of mind about the full support of the project for obtaining a construction permit.

The creation of architectural design is divided into three stages.
1. The stage of concept adoption. Gathering of detailed information about the future building. At this stage, the client describes his idea in maximum detail, share examples of design which he would like to implement. The outcome of this stage is the discussion and adoption of the concept of the project.
2. Stage of development of conceptual design. At this stage we design several layouts of the future building. The customer makes his corrections and adds his wishes. The result of this stage is the client-approved planning and visual design of the building.
3. The stage of developing the working documentation. This documentation is used for construction and obtaining a building permit. The result of this stage is a complete set of architectural drawings.
Further, if necessary, our partners make sections of the projects in their disciplines. That allows you to form a complete set of drawings to obtain a building permit and start construction.
