How I can help

  • Discovery

    Building Surveys & Measures

    After I measure and draw out the existing space, you will receive a floor plan and photographs that document all existing conditions and prepare you to talk about specific changes, renovation strategies, and pain points with a designer of your choice.

    On site
    I visit the property to measure every room, opening, and ceiling height, and note structure, plumbing stacks, electrical panels, and mechanical equipment that will shape what's possible.
    Working from a 3rd-party measure
    If you already have a survey or measured drawings from someone else, I'll review and verify them on a shorter visit instead of re-measuring from scratch.
    Why it matters
    An accurate base plan is the foundation of every good design. It avoids surprises in construction and gives any designer, contractor, or engineer a reliable starting point.

    You receive

    • Existing floor plans (PDF + CAD)
    • Photo record of existing conditions
    • Notes on structure and services

  • Design

    Small Buildings and Tenant Improvements

    After an initial discussion of your wishlist and space requirements, I will provide plans, renders, and design direction to help you create a thoughtfully put together space plan.

    Concept
    We start with your wishlist, budget, and how you use the space day to day. I develop layout options and walk you through the trade-offs of each.
    Design development
    The chosen direction is refined into dimensioned plans, elevations, and 3D views. Revisions are built into the fee so you can make changes with confidence.
    Code & constructability
    Building code, zoning, accessibility, and structural constraints are checked throughout, so the design is buildable and ready for permit.

    You receive

    • Layout options
    • Dimensioned plans & elevations
    • 3D renders
    • Included design revisions

  • Permits

    Development & Building Permits

    I will take your approved design through the neccessary channels to obtain development permits and building permits to get you prepared for construction.

    Permit drawings
    A complete, code-reviewed drawing set prepared to your municipality's requirements, with the forms and checklists that go with it.
    Coordination
    I coordinate with structural, civil, and energy consultants as needed and act as the point of contact with the municipality during review.
    Development permits
    Where zoning variances or development permits are needed, I prepare the application package and respond to planning comments.

    You receive

    • Permit drawing set
    • Application forms
    • Responses to review comments

  • Coordination

    Consultant Coordination

    I will coordinate with interior designers, engineers, architects, and builders as necessary, so every consultant is working from the same drawings and your project keeps moving. Tell me about the support you need in the scope builder below.

    Interior designers
    I don't provide interior design, but I work alongside the designer of your choice so finishes, lighting, and millwork are reflected accurately in the drawings.
    Engineers & architects
    Structural, civil, geotechnical, and energy engineers, and architects where the scope requires one. I share drawings, integrate their input, and track the stamps the permit needs.
    Builders
    During construction I respond to RFIs, produce additional drafting and construction details, and help solve site problems so the build runs smoothly.

    You receive

    • Single point of contact
    • Coordinated drawing set
    • RFI responses & added details

    Interior designer collaboration

    I’ll work with your interior designer to complete the design drawings and space planning. They’ll have final say on the space’s look and feel. Coordination is billed hourly; their fees are separate.

  3. The development permit comes first. Add the building permit if you want me to take it through to full approval.

    1. Development permit applicationRequired

    When your project requires consultants or engineers, coordination is billed hourly for meetings with them and for supplying project details and design direction to help realize your vision. Hours and rates are confirmed in the proposal; consultant fees are separate.

3 consecutive stages included in your scope.
