OUR PROCESS
Our Design ProcessWe believe great projects begin with great planning. Our streamlined design process makes it easy for homeowners and contractors to receive professional deck plans without unnecessary delays.Step 1: Initial ConsultationWe begin by learning about your project, reviewing your ideas, discussing your goals, and gathering information about your property. Existing photographs, surveys, sketches, or architectural plans can help accelerate the process.Step 2: Concept DevelopmentOur designers prepare an initial concept that balances aesthetics, structural practicality, and compliance with local building requirements. During this stage, clients have the opportunity to review the proposed layout and request revisions.Step 3: Final DesignAfter approval of the concept, we prepare complete construction drawings with all required dimensions and details. Our goal is to create plans that are easy for contractors, inspectors, and permitting offices to understand.Step 4: Permit SubmissionOnce complete, your drawing package is ready to be submitted to your local permitting authority. If revisions are requested by the jurisdiction, we can assist in updating the plans as needed.
