In 2017, my wife and I started our food truck business, and then in 2018, we transitioned into a brick and mortar restaurant space. So, I have first-hand knowledge and experience for what is expected by both the Health Department and the Building Officials.

PRE-PROPOSAL

PROGRAMMING ASSESSMENT & CODE ANALYSIS

At this initial meeting, we will review a programming checklist. Includes a 45-minute meeting at Architect’s office.

Ask how you can get this for FREE ($150 value).

PRE-PROPOSAL

TEST FIT ANALYSIS

Includes a 45-minute meeting on site, where we will review the space needs, budget targets, personal preferences, and other project goals. A written outline of these  objectives will be prepared as a working guideline and will influence the proposal for design services. For Restaurants, this analysis will also include a floor plan diagram illustrating the approximate layout of the space. This typically is a $500 value, based on location.

PREDESIGN & MASTERPLAN

The local zoning and legal restrictions affecting the designated site will be evaluated. We will visit the site to gather dimensions and information of the existing residence and provide as-built drawings. Information from the program and site evaluations will be incorporated into the design phases  of  the  project. This analysis typically ranges between $1,500 and $4,000.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Upon approval of the predesign concepts, a Schematic Design package will be developed that may be used by the Owner’s Contractor to help confirm the anticipated construction costs. This package includes schematic architectural drawings – dimensioned floor plan diagrams, a site plan diagram, elevations, and 3D sketches/diagrams. This phase typically ranges between $5,000 and $20,000.

DOCUMENTATION / PERMITTING

Construction Documents will be  produced after the results of the Schematic pricing documents have been reviewed and approved by the Owner.  These detailed documents will include drawings and specifications necessary to obtain building permits and define the quantity and quality of the Design. This phase typically ranges between 7-12% of the construction budget and depends solely on the complexity and how long we believe it will take to provide the necessary documents.

CONSTRUCTION ADVOCATE

Includes visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the Contractor’s operations to determine, in general, if the Work is being performed in accordance with the Contract Documents. The cost of this phase typically depends on how much involvement is desired during construction.
