The Process

The process for residential development architecture involves a series of steps that lead from the initial concept and client consultation to the completion of the residential project.

Initial Consultation – The process begins with a consultation between our team and the client (which may be a homeowner, developer, or housing authority). During this phase, we listen attentively and gather all the necessary information about your specific goals, needs, budget, and design preferences.
Conceptual Design – Based on your input gathered from the initial consultation, Tom Withers Architecture will proceed to develop preliminary design concepts that explore layout options, spatial arrangements, and the overall design direction. Design development will follow closely as we refine the conceptual designs based on your feedback and further requirements.
Approval & Permits – TWA will now prepare and submit the necessary documentation to obtain zoning approvals, building permits, and any other required regulatory approvals from local authorities. In some cases, an environmental impact assessment may be necessary to evaluate the project’s effects on the environment
Detailed Drawings– Once designs have been officially approved, our team will proceed with detailed architectural drawings and designs. Drawings will include floor plans, elevations, sections, and specifications. These documents provide the necessary information for construction.
The Build – These detailed plans will then be handed over to the construction company of your choosing for cost estimation. Should you wish, we can play a role in overseeing this phase to ensure you receive a fair deal. With this completed, you’re nearly at the point where you can kickstart the build!
