Part I: Concept Design
Concept Design is the process of converting a simple project
idea into a design solution that is intended for realization.
Inside Architecture has found over the past 20 plus years that
having a solid and well thought out concept design, with realistic
cost feedback, allows for the remainder of the design and
construction process to run smoothly and successfully. During this
first stage of the project, IA will guide you through the
preliminary design process and confidently provide you with the
ideal design solution for your needs and budget.
Inside Architecture’s Concept Design Services:
•Your Vision:Your Vision:Your Vision:Your Vision: Discuss
project areas of concern and define your needs and objectives.
Often this may encompass many areas of your home both inside and
outside.
•Zoning Analysis:Zoning Analysis:Zoning Analysis:Zoning

have an impact on the project.

that may be required (for example, construction in a flood
zone)

Part II: Project Implementation
With the Concept Design complete and a clear direction for your
project in place, we will proceed to the next steps which include
refining the design and developing the construction details. We
will review in more depth the spatial, functional and esthetic
requirements, as well as investigating finishes, materials and
construction methods to be utilized. The ideas and solutions we
discussed will then be refined into a very detailed plan that will
become the road map for the construction of your project.
Inside Architecture’s Project Implementation Services:
•Design DevelopmentDesign DevelopmentDesign DevelopmentDesign
Development: Based on the outcome of Concept Design formalized
plans, sections and elevations are developed. Ideas of the
finishes, materials, construction details and specifications will
be confirmed. We’ll provide a checklist of decisions required to
complete Design Development. At the end of this step of the design
work will be complete.
•Construction Documents:Construction Documents:Construction
Documents:Construction Documents: After all design decisions have
been finalized; IA prepares signed and sealed detailed drawings and
specifications from which the contractor will build the project and
necessary permits can be obtained. These drawings and
specifications become part of the contract for construction.
•Construction Assistance:Construction Assistance:Construction

Once construction commences IA remains an active member of the
construction team acting as the clients advocate, reviewing the
progress of work and facilitating any changes that may be
required.
Blueprint for Design™IA’s proprietary process
“We created a simple design process to help our clients realize
their project dreams”…Why?
Because we’ve heard so many home construction horror stories of
cost overruns, code nightmares, unmet schedules and architects that
seem to design without consideration of the clients vision or
budget. In response IA developed “Blueprint for Design” a two part
process that allows our clients to explore their potential project
in measured steps. Only moving on to Part II after our clients are
fully comfortable with all aspects of the Concept Design effort.
The first part is Concept Design during which we’ll review design
options, costs and codes. The second part is Project Implementation
which encompasses those efforts necessary to transition the design
concepts to a completed project.
“ Working with the folks at Inside Architecture was a great
experience; they are talented designers yet down to earth and
practical. IA proved to be both professional and easy to work
with….I would definitely recommend them!”
