Initial Consultation & Concept Design
We offer a FREE phone consultation to help you explore your garage conversion ideas! Understanding your needs, vision, and budget is our top priority. Our team combines design and engineering expertise to create a concept that reflects your goals while meeting all necessary building code and zoning regulations.
Once we reach an agreement, we’ll conduct a site visit to assess your space in-person, take accurate measurements and document existing conditions within the scope of work area(s). The result? A concept design tailored for your needs.
Permitting Drawings
Once the concept is approved, we prepare a full set of permit-ready drawings, including architectural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and structural systems. Our Design and Construction Drawing Services ensure each detail aligns with local building codes and zoning regulations.
With years of experience navigating local jurisdiction requirements, we deliver plans that are fully compliant and ready for fast permit approval. We handle the paperwork to streamline your path to construction!

Permit Management
Even after the drawings are submitted to the building department for permit, we continue supporting you. Our team manages permit reviews, addresses permit comments, and provides material take-offs and construction support.From start to finish, we’re committed to delivering Design and Construction
Drawing Services in with unmatched clarity, quality, and care - so your project stays on track and within budget.

Construction Administration
As licensed Architects in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia we oversee and administer the entire construction phase. We answer questions, review Contractor submitted product data and shop drawings, conduct site visits to observe construction progress, assist with change orders, and operate on your behalf as the Owners representative.
Because our team handles both design and construction administration, we ensure the final build matches the original vision - seamlessly and accurately. This integrated approach reduces miscommunication and maximizes quality.
