Build Process

Permits, Architecture & On‑Site Construction

We manage the path from concept through inspections, coordinating planning/building submittals with your city. When engineering is required, clients select their own engineer and we coordinate closely to keep schedules on track.

Step 1 • Due Diligence

Site Review & Constraints

We confirm setbacks, access, utilities, trees, slope, and drainage; then provide guidance on massing, glazing, and program.
