Our Process
Planning
We begin by understanding your vision, goals, and lifestyle. Early planning includes zoning and budget discussions to ensure your project is feasible from the start. Our team evaluates your site, existing structures, and potential opportunities to prepare a smooth path toward design and permitting.
Designing
A. Preliminary Design
Your ideas take shape as preliminary sketches aligned with zoning requirements and budget goals. We coordinate with city departments early to confirm permitting needs, while on-site measurements and surveys inform schematic design.
B. Design Development & Budget Alignment
Through collaborative workshops, we refine the drawings, develop preliminary specifications, and finalize a working budget. Structural, civil, and survey engineers are engaged to ensure all aspects are integrated, and subcontractors are consulted to refine cost estimates.
C. Construction Documentation & Final Approvals
Detailed architectural and engineering drawings are completed, ready for permit submission. Once approved, we confirm all requirements are met, including civil engineering if applicable, setting the stage for construction.
Building
A. Construction Schedule & Management
We provide a detailed Construction Management Plan covering:
- Site logistics, staging, and material storage
- Project phases and milestones
- Safety protocols and neighbor coordination
- Timeline and estimated completion dates
B. Construction Administration
Our team supports your project daily. Designers assist with material selections and design decisions, site supervisors oversee construction, and project managers track progress. Field reports and updated timelines keep you informed at every stage.
C. Completion & Warranty
Before your final walkthrough, we perform an internal punch list to ensure perfection. Every Arco project includes a one-year limited warranty for peace of mind.
