PRACTICE & PROCEDURES
 
We primarily use Revit, a 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) program with movie  walkthrough capabilities. We also use AUTOCAD (computer aided drafting) as needed and provide clients with e-mail pdf's for their files which can be printed at companies such as ACT or American Campbell in Chattanooga in addition to printing from your own computer. Engineers are utilized as required and all codes are followed to guarantee your permitting process locally or with the state. The project usually follows the standard five phases of (1)Schematic Design, (2) Design Development, (3) Working Drawings, (4) Bid and (5) Contract Administration. Fees can be hourly, fixed or based upon a percentage of construction cost depending upon the most sensible approach for the project. Written agreements can be a one page understanding or a multiple page standard AIA Contract Document. Generally a down payment is requested and monthly progress payments based upon completed work must be made for work to continue. Please contact us for an initial free consultation.
