PROCESS
Our job is to represent you and your best interests. Period.

SVPA takes that responsibility seriously. That's why we strictly follow a step-by-step process that has built-in checks and balances to ensure we exceed your expectations.

1. Understand Your Needs & Goals
2. Illustrate Your Needs & Goals
3. Establish and Describe Your Project
4. Detail Project Requirements
5. Help You Hire the Right Contractor
6. Realize Your Goals
In each step, we ask questions. We listen. And-through teamwork-we carefully craft our responses in a way that ensures we fulfill your expectations and exacting standards. And we offer you flexibility in how we deliver. Depending on the project, schedule, budget, design team and degree of involvement you prefer, there are many design delivery methods you can choose-from traditional design/bid/build to fast-track delivery.

Contact us. We'd welcome the opportunity to visit with you, explain how we can work together, and team up to achieve outstanding results for your next design project.

1. Programming
Through in-depth discussions with you, we identify your space needs and aspirations for the project.

2. Schematic Design
We begin to express your vision in terms of building, space, budget and timeline. We do this by providing you with a conceptual site plan, preliminary building plans, perspective sketches, study models, electronic visualization and probable costs.

3. Design Development
After checking and rechecking even the most intricate detail, we refine the design and provide an updated schedule. Then we present your project to you in high-definition detail-in drawings, models, perspective renderings and an outline specification.

4. Construction Documents
As the process progresses, our team continues to ask questions regarding even the finest details. We establish well-defined construction requirements in drawings and specifications. SVPA also prepares bidding forms, schedules and probable costs while also securing applicable regulatory approvals.

5. Bid/Negotiation
Based on your direction, SVPA will help you obtain bids or negotiated proposals, evaluate them, and award and prepare construction contracts.

6. Construction Administration
To ensure top-of-the-line quality, SVPA will administer the construction contract-from thorough review of shop drawings to ensure quality control to responding to requests for information from contractors. Even after the project is delivered, we follow up to ensure your complete satisfaction.
