Our Design Services
Our services are similar to those of a residential architect. We
design houses, house additions, and home renovations. Most of our
work is in the Boston, Massachusetts area, and we are happy to do
work in Cape Cod and other parts of New England. Our services
consist of combinations of the phases listed below.
Phases
| 1. Consultation. To get started, we
recommend a 4 hour brainstorming session.
|
| 2. Feasibility. We provide
guidance through issues involving zoning, historic
commissions, conservation, and Title V.
An important part of our job is to address any restrictions affecting
your property. To streamline the design process, we have learned that
one of the first steps in getting started is to make sure we are aware
of any issues involving zoning, historic commissions, conservation, and
Title V. Our services do not replace those of a lawyer, but to the best
of our ability, we investigate municipal and state ordinances that may
affect your property.
We have successfully guided projects through zoning appeals and the
approval process of historic and conservation commissions.
|
| 3. Design. We provide drawings and
documents ranging from the minimum required to obtain a building
permit to highly detailed drawings and specifications.
|
| 4. Construction
administration. We recommend that our services to you
include that of being the owner's representative during
construction.
