David Crosby Architects shepherds clients through the design and construction of their projects using the following process. We encourage open communication and true partnership of all parties involved in each of our projects.

• Establish the client’s needs and project scope
• Establish budget and timeline
• Document existing structures (if any)

• Review all zoning and building codes specific to the project site

• Design multiple schemes
• Incorporate owner feedback
• Obtain budget “ballpark” estimate for construction cost (optional)
• Finalize design in partnership with the client

• Develop design in detail, including all information necessary for construction bidding and permitting
• Work with the client to select all products and finishes

• Acquire pricing from trades to establish a firm construction cost

• Obtain a building permit through the appropriate local building department

• Manage timeline for construction
• Work with trades to ensure the project is built to the specifications of the construction documents
• Visit the project site frequently to ensure progress, quality, timeliness and client satisfaction
