Services
Residential Design
We create customized residential designs including new homes, renovations, and additions. Our team develops detailed floor plans, elevations, and construction documents that meet local building codes. Clients receive 3D visualizations to clarify design concepts before construction begins.
Commercial Plans
Our commercial architecture services cover retail spaces, offices, and restaurants. We produce comprehensive plans that address zoning requirements, accessibility standards, and structural needs while optimizing functional layouts for business operations.
Legalization Services
We specialize in legalizing existing unpermitted structures through official documentation. This includes preparing 'as-built' plans for additions, garages, and basement conversions to obtain retroactive approvals from local municipalities.
Permit Expediting
Our team streamlines the permit acquisition process by preparing required documentation, coordinating with surveyors, and submitting applications directly to building departments. We maintain current knowledge of zoning regulations to ensure timely approvals.
3D Drawings
We utilize advanced CAD software to create detailed 3D renderings that help clients visualize projects before construction. These models show spatial relationships, material choices, and design elements to ensure client expectations align with final outcomes.
