Popular questions
-
Feasibility & Schematic Design:

When should I involve an architect in my real estate investment project?
The ideal time is at the very beginning—before land acquisition or budget finalization. Early involvement allows us to conduct crucial feasibility studies that shape the entire project’s financial success.
What are the typical stages of the architectural design process?
The process usually includes: Schematic Design (concepts), Design Development (refining materials/systems), Construction Documents (technical drawings), and Construction Administration (on-site oversight).
Is your fee included in the construction cost?
No, our professional fee is separate from the construction budget. It is typically structured as a fixed fee or a percentage of the estimated construction cost and is phased according to project milestones.
How does your design increase the property's investment value?
We focus on maximizing leasable/sellable area, designing highly efficient floor plans, selecting durable, low-maintenance materials, and creating desirable aesthetics that command higher market prices and rents.
Do you manage the selection of other engineers and consultants?
Yes. As the lead consultant, we coordinate and manage the entire design team, including structural, mechanical, and electrical (MEP) engineers, to ensure all technical systems are seamlessly integrated.
What is earnest money?
The duration varies greatly by project size and local jurisdiction. We provide a detailed project schedule during the Schematic Design phase, but the permitting phase is the most variable and we work diligently to expedite it.
