Get Transparency & Accuracy For Your Build With Our Feasibility Study!
Here’s Remodeling’s Dirty Little Secret:
A) Starting With A Contractor Puts You At Risk:
- You approve a project and budget
- They start to build
- Things grind to a halt because the city has a beef with designs not up to code
B) An Unqualified Architect Will Burn Your Budget:
- You go to a big brand firm because of market reputation
- You get passed to a junior architect who delays your project (on your dime) while they figure out what can get approved
- Designs are boilerplate. You get lost in the shuffle. Your project stalls

Our Proven Feasibility Study
Low Commitment. Full Confidence:
Building in San Francisco, Los Angeles, or any metro area in California is expensive. But you know what isn’t? Our feasibility study.
Before anything else happens and large sums of money and time are committed, we let you see the road ahead, where others do not. You’ll see how:
- Your lifestyle & square footage can work together
- Your project falls into a remodel or addition configuration
- Your space becomes intuitive areas that bring flow into your life
From there, we’ll put together a few cost and timeline options so that you know exactly what to expect.
It really is that simple. Here’s how it all happens:
Step 1: Discussion
Simply, we sit down at put it all on the table. We’ll listen to everything you have to say about your lifestyle, space, tastes, and goals. We’ll even help you pull out details from what we don’t hear you say! We’ll focus on core project aspects like:
- Budget
- Goals
- Physical requirements (rooms, functions, adjacencies, problems that need solving)
- Aesthetic requirements (style, feel, personality)
- Constraints (codes, context)
These insights provide the framework for the project options we’ll present to you, allowing you to choose the option that works best.
Step 2: Site Analysis
Your location (lot/site) has something to say, too. We’ll come out and analyze everything we need to look at to fully understand the direction your project will take. Remember, we’ll have looked at options, but now we’ll know:
- What’s around you, from trees, to neighbors to views (the ones you want to see and the ones you don’t) and more
- Distance requirements from other structures, utlities, and more
- Maximum buildable are for eah floor of your project and also understand how to integrate any ADUs on site
We’ll prepare diagrams and renders of all floors, facades, and features so that you’ll see what’s ready to come to life!
Step 3: Options Analysis
By this point, we’ve gathered all your aspirations for the project. We’ve even given your site (and the surrounding neighborhood) a chance to speak. Without any further commitment required, this is the “go/no-go” moment in our architectural process. Every detail you’ll need to assess what can be built is presented and reviewed with you. For each project plan, you’ll receive:
- Preliminary construction costs
- Proposed construction timelines
- Permit costs & constraints
- Fit, finish and material details
- Targeted costs per square foot
Zero headaches, total clarity, and the joy of effortless selection is within your grasp.
