What We Do

Do you own a company that needs to expand?  Maybe you’re a developer that needs a more responsive Architect.  Perhaps you serve on a Board or Building Committee commissioned to expand an existing building or to build a new facility. Where do you start? What is the process? Identifying the phases of building development is the starting point to understanding the complexity of what you are about to undertake.  We have worked with all different types of clients and can help you realize most any type of project, big or small.

The Phases of Building Development

Visioning

The first phase of the process where you focus on your needs and develop a strategy to be used throughout the project. Visioning is considered pre-design; it’s the assembling of information prior to putting pencil to paper.  We ask the questions in this phase to help you understand your needs.

Planning

The discovery phase of the building development process where you and Creation Architecture begin to investigate the various opportunities and options available to you on your site. In the planning phase we will begin to test your ideas in graphic form.

Designing

This phase is where all of your visions take shape.  It is a highly technical phase where your needs and desires are formed into usable building forms, which are then communicated to contractors in working drawings and in technical specifications. Your detailed input regarding finishes and materials selection is required by us in order to complete documents for bidding and construction.

Construction

The last phase of the building development. The project is bid and awarded to qualified contractors. Building demolition, renovation and construction is completed. Creation Architecture, PLLC will assist you in obtaining occupancy and closing out the project. We will make certain that all the warranties for products and materials are received as well as all “punch list” items are completed.

Creation Architecture, PLLC can provide you with a detailed description and chronological summary of the various phases of the building process which lists what tasks need to be performed. Let Creation Architecture, PLLC serve you through all the phases of the building process.
