We begin with a conversation to understand your vision, goals, and budget. This meeting sets the foundation for a successful partnership and ensures we’re aligned on expectations from day one.

We conduct a thorough review of your site, building, and utilities, assessing opportunities and constraints such as parking, accessibility, and code compliance requirements.

Together, we define the full project scope, outlining objectives, estimated costs, timelines, and any unique requirements. This clarity ensures the project stays efficient and cost-effective.

Lauren develops hand-drawn concept sketches, scale plans, and elevations to visualize your project early in the process. These sketches communicate the vision clearly and begin the budgeting conversation.

Using the concept drawings, we establish a detailed preliminary budget, ensuring design choices align with financial goals. Lauren incorporates value engineering to maintain design integrity while maximizing cost-effectiveness.

We refine concepts into presentation-ready plans, including perspective renderings, material selections, and interior design details. These are shared with you for approval before construction documents begin.

Lauren produces comprehensive working drawings and coordinates with required engineering disciplines to prepare your project for permitting and construction with confidence.

Throughout the build, Lauren offers on-call project supervision, working closely with contractors and subcontractors to ensure the design is implemented accurately, on time, and within budget.
