  • Discuss your ideas, lifestyle requirements, and inspirations
  • Identify unique features, project location, timeline, and budget
  • Provide insights into the benefits of our prefabricated timber frame and hybrid home systems

This design process lays the foundation for a home that truly aligns with your lifestyle and site conditions.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN:

Bringing Ideas to Life

The conceptual design phase transforms your ideas into detailed drawings and 3D renderings. Our team will:

  • Develop initial floor plans to optimize layout, functionality, and flow

  • Create 3D visuals to provide a realistic preview of your home

  • Collaborate with you to make adjustments, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision

  • Ensure every design harmonizes with your property’s unique characteristics, such as views, orientation, and environmental considerations

At this stage, you’ll feel confident about the direction of your project before moving forward.

ENGINEERING & STRUCTURAL DESIGN:

Ensuring Integrity

Once we have finalized the design, our engineers meticulously plan every structural detail. This stage includes:

  • Ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations

  • Produce precise construction drawings, including foundation plans, elevations, and cross-sections

  • Collaborate with local professionals, such as geotechnical engineers or energy consultants, if required

Our goal is to combine the beauty of your design with robust engineering for lasting quality.
