Residential

One of life’s most rewarding experiences is living in a home that has been designed specifically for you. Here at A3G Architects we provide clients with the convenience and peace of mind knowing that a complete range of services needed to build or remodel the home of their dreams is provided. Some clients, however, prefer to select just a few of the many services offered and rely on their own resources for the rest. Services we can offer to clients are custom home design, renovations/additions, kitchen/bath consultations, interior design services, site analysis, driveway configurations and construction observation.

Learn More About Our Residential Design Process

Step 1: Consultation – An interview process has been developed that allows A3G to listen to you fully express your needs and desires. It is the goal of the designer to transfer your ideas and visions into reality. The home site is then studied to gain a thorough knowledge of its potential.
Step 2: Proposal – After an interview we provide a detailed proposal for scope of services desired for the project including any consultant fees and terms of service.
Step 3: Research – A3G will research the requirements of the local permitting jurisdiction to determine requirements for the project.
Step 4: As-built Documentation – Measurements of the existing building must be taken if the project is an addition or renovation as well of photos in order to create accurate drawings needed for permit.
Step 5: Design – The process begins by developing preliminary design ideas through Revit that illustrate the organization of rooms and how those rooms relate to the home-site. When the client approves the schematic designs, the designer then moves to design development.
Step 6: Construction Documentation – The construction document phase begins when all parties are satisfied with the design presented. It involves the preparation of architectural drawings. These drawings include detailed foundation and floor plans, exterior and interior elevations and general notes. When the construction documents are completed, the client may apply for all necessary building permits either on their own, or like many clients, retain A3G to assist with the building process by continuing to optional services we can offer.
Step 7: Permitting – A3G can meet with the local jurisdiction to facilitate obtaining the permit if desired by the client or contractor.
Step 8: Construction Observation – Based on the client’s decision, A3G will make on-site observation bi-weekly visits during the course of construction to ensure that the contractor is building the project in accordance with the intended design concept. A3G will also be available to answer any questions that may arise on the job site, as well as various other administrative duties.
