Workflow Overview
The project is first assigned to our team by Design Group.
We begin by creating a schematic diagram based on the initial concept.
Next, we prepare accurate CD sets and working drawings, ensuring full code compliance.
During the construction stage, we offer detailed support and real-time coordination.
Once the drawings are complete, they are submitted to the local council for approval.
After receiving markups, our team quickly makes revisions as per code requirements, allowing the project to move smoothly into the next phase.
Code Compliance – Our Strategic Advantage
We specialize in producing drawings that fully comply with U.S. state-specific building codes. This expertise helps secure faster approvals from local councils and minimizes the number of review cycles. Our deep understanding of jurisdictional requirements adds real value to Design Group’s projects.
Upload Plans
Submit drafted plans to the city portal.
Coordinate with Authorities
Communicate with local officials to gather feedback.
Review Comments
Carefully review any feedback or comments received.
Revise Plans
Update the drawings as needed based on the feedback.
Time Zone Considerations & Proactive Planning
To manage the time difference between our team and the client, we follow a proactive approach to project delivery.
We complete our tasks a day in advance to allow time for reviews, revisions, and any needed adjustments before deadlines. This helps us avoid delays and ensures we're always ready with the necessary details and coordination.
Our structured daily communication keeps us aligned with the client's expectations, maintains quality standards, and supports timely delivery.
