Listen

The beginning of every successful project begins with listening.  The Architect must best understand the design problem and the Client’s expectations to solve that problem.  The building users are the experts who have a clear understanding of the problem at hand.  It’s the Architect’s job to listen to the users and interpret that information.  From there, the design process begins…

Design

Now that the Architect understands the problem he could put his expert problem-solving abilities to use.  Discussions will be held with the Client to help develop the project Scope of Work and review their project Budget and Schedule.  The Architect will work with the Client through several design presentations, incorporating their comments throughout the process.  The Architect’s creativity will inspire the Client’s dreams and expectations, resulting in a final design ready to be created.

Create

In addition to Architecture, Steven T. Giampietro is passionate about the Construction process and seeing the designed project come to life.  Many firms only provide design services, however Mr. Giampietro is a Licensed Architect and Contractor and is available to see your project through Construction.  One of the many valuable benefits of this service is that Mr. Giampietro will oversee your construction project from beginning to end to ensure outstanding results.  For this Architect, ultimate satisfaction is witnessing the Client enjoying their newly designed space and seeing that the built project is truly a design solution.

Initial Consultation Meeting

Site Visit to your home (Architect visits the Client) - The project is discussed (we listen carefully and take detailed notes), we explain the Architectural Services Process and Fee Structure, we observe existing conditions and Preliminary Design ideas are shared. The meeting cost is $150.00 and includes a detailed follow-up Architectural Services Proposal.

Architectural Services Proposal

We will prepare and provide you an Architectural Services Proposal that indicates a detailed Project Scope of Work, a description of the Architect's Services and the anticipated time necessary for your project along with anticipated Architectural and Structural Engineering Fees.

Zoning and Setbacks Research

We will make phone calls to the City or County to determine what Zone the property is located in and the Required Setbacks. If there is immediate concern, this research by the Architect is necessary right after the Initial Consultation Meeting..

Documentation of Existing Conditions

We will perform a thorough investigation of the existing building during several site visits to identify structural components and member sizes, floor heights, roof slopes, identify existing equipment, record accurate dimensions, etc.  In our office, we will prepare a set of Existing Conditions Base Drawings and an Existing Conditions 3D Model using our Chief Architect Professional 3D Design Software. These drawings and 3D model will be used to begin the design process.

Preliminary Design

We will prepare a Preliminary Design solution based on the Client’s design requirements, project scope of work and project budget.  The design will be presented in a meeting with the Client using 3D Modeling, Realistic 3D Renderings and traditional 2D floor plan, elevation and section drawings. The design presentation will allow the Client to fully understand the design prior to the construction process beginning.  Any requested design changes will be made by the Architect. The design will be revised until it meets the client’s expectations and approval.
