What Makes Coastal Creek Unique
Comprehensive Site Visit
Within a week of signing, our combined architectural and structural teams visit your property. We document everything – detailed measurements, extensive photos, and drone footage for complete exterior views. Our structural experts examine under-house details, from pier locations to beam configurations, ensuring we understand your home’s existing framework thoroughly. This detailed assessment creates the foundation for accurate planning and helps prevent surprises during construction.
Detailed Documentation
We transform site visit data into complete as-built plans, showing existing conditions from every angle. These detailed drawings include floorplans, elevations, structural elements, and site considerations. Our thorough documentation captures everything from lot coverage requirements to existing structural systems, providing a clear baseline for design decisions. This level of detail helps visualize potential changes and ensures compliance with local building codes.
Interactive Design Sessions
Experience our unique in-office design meetings where you work directly with senior architects while watching your ideas take shape on screen. Our project managers make real-time adjustments during these sessions, allowing you to see and refine design options instantly. This interactive approach helps you visualize changes and understand their implications immediately.
Face-to-Face Collaboration
We prioritize in-person meetings over email exchanges for better communication and faster decisions. This direct interaction allows us to address design implications immediately and prevent misunderstandings. Your feedback gets incorporated instantly, keeping the design process moving efficiently while ensuring your vision stays intact.
Parallel Team Integration
After elevation approval, our architectural and structural teams work simultaneously on final plans. This coordinated effort ensures structural solutions complement architectural goals without compromising either. The result? A cohesive design that’s both beautiful and buildable.
Clear Communication
Every project phase is clearly labeled and communicated, from “Draft Number Two” to final plans. You’ll always know where your project stands and what comes next. Our structured approach keeps everyone aligned and informed throughout the design journey.
