We have a list of preferred contractors that we recommend based on your project. They work for the client directly and the only thing we get back are great projects.

YES! Architects can provide construction administration services after the permit drawings are complete. This may include reviewing shop drawings and submittals, answering contractor questions, visiting the site, reviewing payment applications, evaluating proposed changes, and helping ensure the finished project is consistent with the design documents.
