Architectural Clarity First
Renovation Vision Discovery :: Needs & Options
Pre-Architectural Planning for Home Renovations
Before you renovate, get clarity.
Renovation Vision Discovery is a structured, architect-led service that reveals the true potential of your existing home before design decisions or construction costs begin.
This pre-architectural process provides due diligence, documentation, and concept direction so you can move forward with confidence.
WHAT THIS SERVICE DOES
You may think you know what your renovation needs—or even believe you have a solution. Renovation Vision Discovery ensures your project is grounded in measured reality, informed analysis, and architectural insight, not assumptions.
This is how successful renovations begin.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
A - On-Site Due Diligence & Documentation
On-site visit by two team members
Comprehensive site due diligence
Field-verified measurements of the existing residence
On-site photography for in-house architectural use
Review of zoning, setbacks, and physical constraints (as applicable)
B - Existing Conditions Drawings & Visualization
Digitized floor plans of the existing home
Four exterior elevations
3D model of the existing residence for in-house architectural use
MP4 animation of the current home design
Long-Term Value Note
The existing-condition drawings created during Vision Discovery are valuable assets—even if you choose not to proceed with renovation at this time. Should you later decide to sell your home, these drawings become a meaningful resource for future owners, providing accurate documentation that supports renovations, additions, or repairs down the line.
c - Architectural & Lifestyle Analysis
-Analysis of site opportunities and constraints
-Evaluation of existing architectural design
-Review of interior flow, adjacencies, and spatial challenges
-Client lifestyle goals, priorities, and renovation objectives
D - CONCEPT DIRECTION & DESIGN VISION
- Based on analysis and documentation, we develop:
- 1–3 concept plan options exploring renovation strategies
- Exterior architectural concept direction
- A conceptual exterior rendering illustrating the future potential of your home
- These concepts are not construction drawings—they are vision-setting tools that define direction, scope, and opportunity.
