Trusted Architects in Woodstock, ON

We invoice at the completion of each stage of your project. If your project is put on hold or if the client has not made contact within the last 6 months, all remaining services completed to date will be billed.

This is a high level site and zoning investigation to ensure the project is feasible. Any evidence that indicates there may be an issue will be shared with the client prior to proceeding with project.

Our standard is to include up to 2 rounds of changes to the original design. Each round of revisions can include as many changes as needed. If two rounds are exceeded, the client will be charged at our hourly rate for any additional requested changes. A revision request form will be sent for each round of revisions requested.

All design work is completed in 3D using Autodesk Revit. Working in Revit is becoming an industry standard in architecture as it reduces coordination errors between elevations/sections/floor plans. 3D modeling is not adding cost to the package, but is a beneficial side effect of a more streamlined workflow.

For a new house you can expect a preliminary design completed within 2 weeks of your start date. From here it depends on how many revisions are needed. Some clients will only have a few small changes that will allow us to move into construction drawings after the preliminary design. Some clients will require multiple design meetings to complete a final design. This process can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks. From here we will go into construction drawings. The construction drawing process depends on what additional consultants are needed. HVAC, Engineering or Truss packages will typically take 3 weeks. From here we can coordinate all consultants and information onto architectural drawing packages and issue permit documents. The entire process takes approximately 8-16 weeks depending on the complexity of the project. Projects of smaller magnitude could be completed in less than 8 weeks.
