Our Services
Integrated Architecture & Design
Architecture
Our architectural services extend beyond developing floor plans and ensuring structural design integrity. Whether you want a remodel, new addition, or a design for a new building, we listen to your needs and explore your ideas with you. Then we work with you to see your project through from start to finish, which includes design coordination during construction.
Design
Your home is an extension of you. You want a design and an overall layout that reflects your passions, your lifestyle and your values. At Insite, our collective experience and professional credentials help streamline the options to best suit your design project in an efficient manner, ultimately saving you both time and money. Inspired by your values, we work to create your personal paradise.
Our Process
Careful, Streamlined & Efficient
Discovery
To establish existing conditions, we survey the existing structure, capturing all the details of the as-built environment. With the survey completed, we then meet with the city’s Community Development departments to capture applicable information and property limitations to provide parameters for creating successful designs.
Envision
Equipped with the collected data above and our client’s programming requirements, we begin the master-planning process by creating a number of floor plan layouts for consideration and review. Use of space, views, quality of light, furniture placement, massing, and spatial flow are all considered in this stage. Absorbing client feedback, the design is developed until an approved floor plan is confirmed.
Bottom Line
It is now time to understand the costs of the project. At Insite, we guide our clients through an extensive pricing process. This process includes the specifications of materials/finishes/fixtures and the development of construction and design details to establish the project’s scope of work for bidding purposes. A detailed bid package of drawings and pricing notes are provided at contractor bid meetings followed by a detailed bid analysis to assist in the selection and confirmation of a builder.
Record
Design is an iterative process, constantly in a state of development over the course of a project’s timeline. Construction documents, design review submissions, permit drawings are necessary deliverables to record the nuts and bolts of a project’s design and the blueprint for its construction, puns intended. They provide important and pertinent information/details to the user, regarding the construction of a project, whether that user is a plan-checker, planning commissioner, vendor, builder or client. At Insite, we create these documents and manage the process from submission through to approval so the client, simply put, doesn’t have to.
Build
Where often our peers make their exit at this point of the design process, we continue forth in the critical stage of a project’s success, construction. We remain involved for several reasons: one, to ensure the design intent is carried out, two to ensure material decisions and purchases coordinate with the construction schedule, and three to aid in keeping the builder productive and most importantly, on site to ensure that hiccups along the way are addressed effectively and efficiently.
