Design, drawings and approvals for builders and developers, with clear schedules and plans that build efficiently.
Builders and developers need drawings that are accurate, efficient to build and delivered on time. They also need an architect who understands budgets, subcontractors and the approval process. We work with builders and developers in Nashville on single homes, spec homes, townhome groups and commercial buildings, and we aim to be an easy partner who answers calls, meets dates and keeps projects moving.
We begin by learning how you build: your standard details, your preferred materials and your target costs. We design plans that fit your market and your lots, produce complete construction documents and coordinate engineering. We handle approvals, answer subcontractor questions and revise quickly when the field requires. For repeating products we create plan families that adapt to different sites. Send us two or three of your most successful plans, along with notes on what buyers liked and what caused change orders. Real feedback from the field is the best starting point for design, and it helps us build a product that sells and builds smoothly. Share your target costs per square foot and your usual lot sizes if you can. Designing to the right size and shape for your lots and budget avoids plans that look great but never pencil out, and it keeps your pricing competitive. Finally, tell us about the subcontractors and suppliers you prefer. Details that match the way your crews work are faster and more economical to build, and a plan that reflects your methods is a plan your team will like to build.
