Every project is different, but most of my clients come to me with the same goal: a design that truly works for them, and drawings that can move smoothly through permitting and into construction. Here's how I can help, and the kinds of projects I've had the pleasure of working on over nearly thirty years.

Services

Feasibility studies: Before you sign a lease or buy a property, I can take an early look at what the building or site could support, what code issues might come up, and what it could possibly take to make your plans work.

​

Code review and consultation: I work through the code early, so there may be fewer surprises later, for you and for the plans reviewer.

​

Design: Schematic design and design development for new buildings, tenant improvements, changes of occupancy, additions and renovations. I like to explore as many options as we can early on, so you can move forward with confidence.

​

Permit drawings: Clear, complete, buildable drawings, coordinated with your structural, energy and other consultants and ready for plan review.

​

Construction phase services: When your contractor or the jurisdiction has a question, I aim to respond quickly to help keep your project moving.

Project Experience

Commercial: New buildings, tenant improvements, changes of occupancy, renovations and additions.

​

Residential communities: Apartments, townhomes, rowhomes and single-family neighborhoods for developers and builders.

​

Custom homes, additions and remodels: New homes, whole-house renovations, additions and everything in between.

​

Building types I've worked on include veterinary clinics, offices, salons, fitness facilities, auto showrooms and repair shops, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, retail shops, restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops, schools and early childhood centers, community centers, armored car facilities and even a fish packing plant. And that's the short list.

​

Don't see your project type? Tell me about it. I love a new puzzle.
