After understanding a project’s goals, target market, site conditions and community context, our first step is to explore concepts for the site plan. The ‘deliverables’ at this stage include one or more concept site plans (showing a scaled layout of buildings, roads, sidewalks, parking, private yard and common yard delineation)—used for preliminary project cost analysis and pre-submittal review meetings with the city. We can also create 3D CAD site models at this stage to easily visualize the project.

Detailed Building Plans

Along with the site plan, we will suggest appropriate plans from our GoodFit Collection, or explore new plan ideas to meet the projected target market, site conditions and budget for the project. All the plans will have the ability to ‘dovetail’ with one another, balancing the needs for privacy with the desire for community.

Preliminary Project Submittal

When the plan looks feasible, we’ll prepare materials as needed for project review with the local jurisdiction, neighborhood meetings and lending institutions. These materials may include a more accurate site plan with area tabulations, stormwater & utlility plan concepts (in coordination with the civil engineer), schematic building plans, building elevations & material callouts, 3D model images or fly-by movies, and photos of similar projects.
