“Here is a prime example. We were doing a project and working with an architect who produced 3 different floor plans, none of which met code, before hiring Brian. Brian was able to provide us with a compliant floor plan that also optimized the floor plan for the operation, saving the client money, time, and frustration.”
— Victoria Ireton, Tenax Strategies

This foundational phase runs in parallel across multiple teams. Due Diligence involves site and regulatory research by the architect and customer consultants, while Programming defines the project’s goals and operational needs. The result is a clear understanding of site constraints and a preliminary layout that aligns with your business model.

Retail Schematic Design translates the program into initial architectural concepts. We collaborate with engineers and consultants to develop layout options, evaluate code compliance, and prepare documents for early pricing and permit applications.
-
In this phase, the retail design is refined in greater detail. Material selections, fixture schedules, and engineering systems are coordinated. The focus is on integrating all disciplines to ensure constructability and cost accuracy.
-
Construction Documents finalize all design decisions into detailed drawings and specifications ready for bidding, permitting, and construction. Final pricing packages are produced, and documents are submitted for approvals.
