DESIGN, code, BUILD.

Four services. Each one lands the same way: drawings builders can actually build from, and a firm that shows up when the framer calls.

Feasibility

Before a single line is drawn: zoning, FAR, lot coverage, setbacks, height/area, use. We tell you what the site can actually become.

Code analysis
