Our Process

At GFH Architecture, we believe in a collaborative approach to ensure that your project is completed on time, within budget, and to your satisfaction. Our process involves six phases:

1. Programming: We meet with key project individuals to familiarize ourselves with existing reports, zoning, and code constraints. We then finalize the scope of work, the site, and building program.

2. Schematic Design: After the program is firmly established, we develop two or three schematic designs. We hold discussions with individual clients, or staff and relevant decision-makers to determine the preferred scheme.

3. Design & Development: We produce hard-line drawings to describe the size and character of the project. We review a copy of the design review submittal package with the client and represent the client through the design review process.

4. Construction Documents: The major portion of our work begins after we receive design review approval. We produce detailed construction drawings and coordinate with consultants.

5. Bidding & Negotiations: We continue to assist the client in the bid process, responding to questions and assisting the client in administering the bid. Once the bid is awarded, we hold a meeting with the client, the contractor, and our team to agree on processes and goals for the construction phase.

6. Construction (limited to full service available, depending upon scope and size project): During the construction phase, we can answer requests for information, administer submittals, meet with the client and the contractor on a regularly established basis, review change order requests, and make payment recommendations to the client.
