Building for and with you

Collaborative Approach

At Powell Studio Architecture, our approach to every project is guided by a proven three-part process: Concept, Design, and Realization. This is how we build success.

about our process

During this vital phase, your project concept takes shape. We create rough diagrams, revise them until we have workable solutions, and prepare up to three schematic submittals for your review. These drawings include floor plans, site plans, elevations, and sketches. Once we define the project, we initiate site development engineering and approval processes, including zoning and water management approvals if required.

Now, we solidify the project's size and character following schematic design approval. Our detailed drawings depict all facets of the design, including fire ratings, egress, and construction elements. Our design team collaborates to establish construction specifics in line with the budget, and we refine the estimated construction cost as needed to accommodate any project changes.

This is when we prepare to begin construction. We create comprehensive drawings and specifications, serving as the blueprint for the entire project. This stage is typically less client-intensive as it involves the technical elaboration of earlier ideas. However, we ensure open communication to review progress and address any questions. By the end of this phase, you'll have fully developed plans and specs ready for contractor bidding, building permit submission, and project construction. We also take care of submitting these documents to the building department on your behalf and address any comments from the authorities with jurisdiction.

We assist in selecting the right construction firm through a rigorous bidding or negotiation process. We engage with you to choose General Contractors, manage the bidding process, and offer final bid analysis. We also help prepare your project for regulatory approval, acting as your representatives with the building department. Our goal is to address authorities' comments during the bidding stage, ensuring a seamless process.

In the Construction Phase, we offer a range of services to ensure your project runs smoothly. Our team handles tasks like change orders, site visits to monitor progress and quality, payment certifications, submittal reviews, change order preparation, and overseeing project completion, making the entire process stress-free for you.
