Since each successful project has certain elements in common, a basic outline has been developed to provide a clear path from which the design process evolves. The outline includes:

1. Programming/Feasibility Phase:
Establishing goals, analyzing space requirements and reviewing cost/budget relationships.

2. Schematic Design Phase:
Development and evaluation of design schemes/sketches and alternate solutions that best meet the needs of budget, functionality, livability, and aesthetic.

3. Design Development Phase: Further refinement of design schemes and development of scale plans, elevations, sections, and perspectives to best communicate design intent to ensure a satisfactory project and development process.
