• Develop from the program a schedule of spaces with descriptions of floor areas and adjacency requirements.
• Analyze the building site for it’s outstanding or limiting features and its accommodation to the County’s zoning codes.
• For Oceanfront properties, consultation with Surveyors and Civil engineers may be required.
Schematic Design Phase
• Develop schematic plans based on approved program.
• For Oceanfront properties, addition approvals must be secured from the County and State for the proposed development
• Review building code requirements
• Review schematic plans with Owners
Design Development Phase
• Prepare Design Development drawings based on the approved schematic documents and project budgets
• Issue progress prints for Owner’s review.
• Obtain Owners approval of the Design Development documents and confirm Start of Construction Documents
Construction Document Phase
