Schematic Design
We develop initial design proposals using 3D models to visualize spatial relationships and aesthetics. This phase includes multiple options for layout and structure, enabling clients to select preferred solutions. Virtual walkthroughs help refine decisions before finalizing details.
Construction Documents
Detailed construction drawings are created to guide builders, including elevations, material specifications, and system diagrams. This phase ensures all components are clearly defined for accurate implementation. Final renderings and consultant drawings complete the builder's instruction manual.
