Get Transparency & Accuracy For Your Build With Our Feasibility Study!
Home Remodels Fail When The Following Happens:
A) Starting With A Contractor Puts You At Risk:
- Many remodel contractors promise accuracy
- They start to build
- Remodel mistakes are made in haste when an inexperienced in-house designer fails everyone
- Bringing us to the next point
B) An Unqualified Architect Will Burn Your Budget:
- The first move is to wow you with design without really aligning on budget
- Then, you get passed to a junior architect who delays your project in a scramble to design under budget, only to charge more because early design development allocation has expired
- From here, you are presented with boilerplate designs. You face disappointment. Your project stalls
After 30 Years, We Know Better. Our Firm Offers a Zero-Commitment Assessment, Giving You Total Project Clarity. Here’s How We Do That, Below:
Our Proven Feasibility Study
Zero Additional Commitment. Full Project 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:
- What is realistically buildable on your site
- Multiple scope options and preliminary budget
- What the process and timeline will be
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 for your site, and each floor so we can clearly see the envelope upon which your specific programming will rest.
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
- Targeted costs per square foot
Zero headaches, total clarity, and the joy of effortless selection is within your grasp.
