Conceptual design – from the initial “napkin
sketch”, through conceptual schematic design, design
development, specifications development and detailed, accurate
preliminary cost estimating, Group One works one-on-one
with you. The most important aspect of successful design
is communication -- this begins with listening to you, defining
and refining your goals and priorities, then thoughtfully blending
them with our experienced design sense. The goal is to create
an enduring design -- an artful balance that pleases
both one’s emotions and one’s intellect. A balance
between aesthetic beauty and proportion, light and space, consistency in
style, and the practical considerations of your everyday life and
budget. Utilizing a variety of tools, including the latest in three-dimensional CAD architectural design software, we have the means to guide and help you accurately visualize and refine your dream, beginning early in the design phase.
