DESIGN
During the design phase, we work closely with our clients, incorporating their ideas, desires, and vision into a cohesive construction plan.
Prodigy provides in-house design services as part of our design/build process. When needed, we request third-party partners to assist with complex architectural, engineering or interior design services, under our direction and oversight. Our network of trusted suppliers consult our clients with finish and fixture selections.
While each project is unique, each typically includes the following key elements: Site Inspections, Feasibility Studies, Preparation of Plans and Specifications (floor plans, elevation drawings), and Budget Preparation / Quoting.
OUR PROCESS
PRELIMINARY SITE INSPECTION
At the launch of every project, we gather information about the client's existing lot, including conditions, dimensions, as well as information related to existing home owner's association rules and regulations. This work may also include digital photographs of the areas to be affected by the proposed project.
PRELIM SPECS & ESTIMATE
PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY STUDY
After the preliminary site inspection, we conduct a preliminary evaluation of the project to identify potential concerns with building code compliance and construction feasibility. We also consider the logistics of working on the project. Each municipality is different and it is at this stage that the desired scheduling is planned.
CLIENT REVIEW MEETING
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
The conceptual design phase involves creation of a preliminary floor plan, as well as elevation views as needed to communicate the design concept to our client. The client reviews the preliminary scope of work and provides feedback to assist the design team in finalizing the plans and developing a budget.
FINAL DESIGN AND SPECS
Written specifications and a cost estimate for the conceptual design, including detailed descriptions of all work to be included in the project is created. The cost estimate includes budget allowances for any fixtures or materials our client has not yet selected or confirmed.
The client review meeting is where all of the design details, documents, product speci-fications, cost estimates, and project feasibility analysis are presented to the client for their review and acceptance. The review meeting can be done in-person, over the phone, or by electronic communication.
After the client review meeting, a final design is prepared with specifications and a cost estimates incorporating information gathered during the client review meeting. This final design is used as a basis for preparation of detailed construction plans and permit submittals upon client approval.
