How does the design process work, and how long will it take to complete drawings?
The entire process from start to finish usually takes from 2 3 months, but can be streamlined if necessary and if you are well prepared. The initial design and preliminary concept phase usually takes 2 3 weeks. At that time, you will have floor plans and an elevation proposed and we critique the plan together. Then the design development phase begins and hand drawn plans are revised and put into AutoCAD for hard line floor plans and exterior elevations. This phase takes 2 3 weeks. Then after review and input from you we move to the final plan preparation phase (working drawings) which takes 3 4 weeks. After plan completion, the plans go to engineering which takes 2 3 weeks, and plans are finalized. More complex plans will take longer, as will those that must go through an extensive design review process.
