Each project site has its own unique characteristics. We begin the documentation with a laser scan and a site survey that captures the full extent of our work area. Following these activities, any additional zoning research will be performed and information gathered will be utilized to create a framework for future design decisions.

Understanding your products and services from an operational perspective is key to creating not only a beautiful experience but a functional one for both your employees and your customers. Tact & Grit will be your partner in creating a vision and developing a strategy to bring your business to life.

Determining the relationship of program elements to one another and their proportions within the overall space is essential to developing a drawing set that illustrates design intent and depicts enough information to begin conversations with engineering and construction early on.

We see the project come alive in this phase as material selections are being made, detailed elevations and sections are being drawn and three-dimensional perspectives are being provided as a visual aid for client meetings. This comprehensive set of drawings captures the full scope of work and is intended for pricing and permitting.

The collaboration between contractor and architect is vital for the success of a project. As we move from two-dimensional drawing to three-dimensional space, coordination questions arise that require both design and construction expertise. Regular communication and site visits allow all parties to remain engaged and able to problem solve as a team.
