Our Process

The Landis Design-Build Process:
A Personalized Approach

We believe in a collaborative partnership.

Initial Complimentary Consultation & Home Visit

At Landis Architects | Builders, we believe that your home renovation project begins with a conversation. That's why we offer a complimentary initial phone consultation to discuss your project and answer any questions you may have.
If our firm is a fit for your project, we will schedule an in-home consultation with one of our experienced Team Leaders. During this home visit, we will:

Explore your vision: Discuss your goals and aspirations for your renovation.
‍Evaluate your space: Assess the current layout, structural elements, and potential challenges.
‍Understand your lifestyle: Learn about your daily routines and how you envision using your space.

Following the in-home consultation, we will present you with a comprehensive design proposal that outlines your renovation objectives and provides both a design fee and estimated construction budget range. This transparent approach ensures you have a clear understanding of the investment required to bring your vision to life.

The Design Process

From Concept to Construction Documents: At Landis, our design process begins with architectural concept drawings and a feasibility analysis that takes into account relevant zoning requirements, historic preservation, and relevant jurisdictional considerations.

Once we’ve refined our design to a layout that you're excited to move forward with, we guide you through selecting finishes and finalizing design details to create comprehensive construction documents. We charge an hourly fee for our design services, which typically total between 10%-12% of your project’s estimated construction cost.
