Tier 1 is where we confirm what’s possible, establish direction, and give you the clarity you need before investing in full design or engineering.
This phase answers the big questions: Can we do it? What will it take? What will it cost?
Larger renovations and structural changes require thoughtful planning before design begins.
Tier 1 ensures your project is:
feasible
aligned with zoning and building requirements
scoped correctly
directionally priced
ready to move into detailed design
This protects your budget, your timeline, and your expectations.
On‑site evaluation
Zoning and code review
Structural feasibility review
Preliminary layout concepts
High‑level scope outline
Rough‑order‑of‑magnitude budget range
Clear next steps for Tier 2
Everything you need to make an informed decision — without overcommitting.
1. Site Visit & Discovery
We walk the space, discuss goals, and identify structural or mechanical considerations.
2. Zoning & Code Review
We confirm what’s allowed based on local regulations and property constraints.
3. Feasibility Analysis
We evaluate structural implications, layout options, and potential challenges.
4. Concept Development
We create preliminary layout concepts to establish direction.
5. Budget Range
You receive a realistic, high‑level budget range based on the proposed scope.

Tier 1 is required before entering Tier 2
This ensures we can dedicate the time and resources needed to evaluate your project thoroughly.
Most Tier 1 phases are completed within:
1–2 weeks for interior reconfigurations
2–3 weeks for additions or more complex scopes
Timelines vary based on project size and zoning research.
Once feasibility is confirmed, you can move into:
This is where we refine layouts, selections, engineering, and detailed scope.
You’ll receive a clear proposal for Tier 2 at the end of Tier 1.
Start your project with clarity and confidence.
We’ll walk you through what’s possible and outline the best path forward.
