GENERAL CONSULTATION
If you are only seeking advice on specific building issues and problems,
ACE can work with you on an hourly basis.
SITE INVESTIGATION AND PROJECT PLANNING [PRE-DESIGN]
If you are just starting your project and need to establish a project strategy, explore some basic construction options, or find out about code requirements, municipal approvals, and possible costs, ACE can help you to answer these questions and PLAN your project before you get too far into the process.
COMPLETE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN and DRAWING SERVICES
This is a several-phased process during which ACE works with You --
the Owner, to go over the project requirements, craft a useful and aesthetically pleasing design, produce drawings and specifications, find and select a Contractor, and then see the project through to completion with construction administration services. For details, see THE ARCHITECTURAL PROCESS below.
