Phase 1 – Project Study
This inexpensive conceptual phase, known as programming, enables clients to evaluate their

options.

 Our experienced architects, interior designers, estimators and others meet with you to
listen and advise on the best course of action.
 We'll take thorough field measurements to determine the true space you need.
 A retail communications specialist will characterize the areas within your building for

profitability and aesthetics.
 Our preliminary architectural drawings will enable you to visualize the proposed layout
inexpensively.
 Our goal here is to determine the timeline and cost of your vision as accurately as
possible.
 The Project Study shows all markups on the list of probable costs.
 This allows a return on investment (ROI) analysis before you commit too deeply to the

project.

Phase 2 – Project Development
With the client's approval we move into Phase Two, where the project cost and timeline are

determined.

 Your Project Manager will be your single point of contact for everything.
 Thorough programming paves the way for efficient execution.
 We finalize our cost study, to deliver the Guaranteed Project Price.

 Our simple one-page contract clearly states there will be no change order in the project.
 A full set of construction drawings is stamped and sealed, and our elite bidding process
is shared with the client.
 If you have a sub-contractor you prefer to work with, we will respect your choice in this
regard.
 We prepare to build, with a guaranteed completion date for the client.
