PROCESS
With DISTRICT ARTISANS, we offer a personalized approach that begins with the first consultation. We’ll assess your goals, provide an initial cost estimate for DESIGN + BUILD, and guide you through every step of the process. At the end of the design phase, we’ll refine that estimate and provide you with a fixed construction fee.
1. DESIGN
COST: 5-15% of Construction Cost
We provide a Basic Architectural Services package that includes: Pre-Design, Schematic Design, and Construction Documents.
PRE-DESIGN
In the initial phase, we gather essential information using a detailed questionnaire to establish the foundation for the design. This phase includes:
- Background research
- Programming
- Survey of existing conditions
- Feasibility study
- Zoning and code requirements
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
The information is translated into a building design through sketches, models, floor plans, and elevations.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
The Schematic Design is developed into a precise and technical set of Construction Documents containing all of the information necessary to build the project.
Our design services can be booked as a standalone product or pair it with our construction services for a complete design build experience.
2. PRICE + PERMIT
Take advantage of our in-house contractor and receive construction pricing immediately after the design phase. The Construction Documents, along with any additional information required for a building permit, are submitted to the local jurisdiction for review and approval.
3. CONSTRUCTION
COST: Starting at $50,000
After the building permit is approved, construction will begin. The construction process could include any of the following trades:
- Site preparation
- Excavation
- Foundation
- Framing
- Masonry
- Electrical
- Plumbing
- Roofing
- Exterior/interior finishing
- HVAC
- Finish carpentry
- Painting
Once the project is near completion, the post-construction phase involves completing punch list items and a final walk-through in preparation of project closeout for client handover.
