I chose to work in this industry because My uncle was an architect, and I wanted to be like him.. I love working in the Baltimore-Washington area because we have everything nearby...sports, art, culture, great cities, charming little towns, mountains, forests, rivers, beaches, sailing, swimming. It's a great place to raise a family. .

• Our process is collaborative. It gives you real control of your project from start to finish. Unlike many residential designers and design-builders, we specialize in helping you build exactly the project you want, both in concept and in detail.
• First, we listen to what you want to accomplish. This includes your budget, and the style of architecture you prefer. Typically, we start by providing you with several design concepts so you can see some big-picture options and what they cost. Then, based on your review and direction, we re-design, including what you tell us you liked and discarding the rest. We continue to refine the project, re-designing every aspect until you're satisfied with the design, budget, and schedule.
• Your approved design is the basis of the Construction Documents. These explain to bidders exactly how to bid and build the project, in detail, as you have approved it. With our help, you select and qualify bidders, and bid and negotiate your project. We help you create a fair owner-contractor agreement.
• In accord with the Agreement, the Contractor builds the Project as it was designed. We observe the construction and help interpret the Contract Documents during construction. We ensure that what you had us design is actually what is built. This process gives you control through the entire project, from site selection, to design, right through construction.

• Each client requires its unique product research. Unlike many firms, we never accept remuneration in exchange for specifying a mfgr's products.
