Our design process enables our clients to experience their future outdoor living environments through photo-realistic 3D design presentations, offering instant clarity to all aspects of the developed design. Our plan development & project management process advances this vision to reality, with exacting precision & technique.
Design & Management Process:
Step 1: Design Consultation
Contact Us to schedule an initial design consultation. The goal of this meeting is to become acquainted with the client & their specific needs. Gaining a firm understanding of the client's family & social life is an essential step in designing an outdoor living space that exceeds our clients' expectations. We will also view the project area & discuss any specific project features that are desired, the project budget, & the project timeline.
Step 2: DESIGN PROPOSAL
Following the design consultation, EnTerra Design Group will provide a comprehensive design proposal, outlining the design scope of work, deliverables, timeline & cost of the design & planning services to be provided.
STEP 3: SITE ANALYSIs & Evaluation
The first step in the design production process is to perform a thorough site analysis & evaluation, in which we gather critical site information needed to ensure the design integrates seamlessly into the existing environment. It is ideal, and in many cases a requirement, to begin planning from an existing or new survey of the property to ensure accuracy and confirm that there are no restrictions in the project area for the proposed scope of work.
Step 4: DESIGN Development
After the site analysis & evaluation, EnTerra Design Group will begin development of the project design. We utilize advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD) & Three Dimensional (3D) Modeling Software to develop precise & photo-realistic designs. For outdoor living projects, the end result is an immersive 3D design with the ability to "fly-through" the environment and visualize the project addition integrated into the existing or future residence.
Step 5: Design Presentation
As progress is underway on the design development, we will contact our clients to schedule a design presentation meeting at a convenient time & location. This is an exciting & engaging meeting in which our clients have the opportunity to "experience" their future outdoor living environments with instant clarity on all aspects of the developed design, allowing for clear communication of any needed revisions. Often, minor revisions can be adjusted as a collaborative effort with our clients during the design presentation meeting. If more extensive revisions are needed, these items will be agreed upon along with the time frame for completion.
Step 6: Plan DevelopmenT
Upon completion of the design presentation, we will prepare plans for the project ranging from project bid sets to complete construction documentation. Depending on the project complexity, we can also provide structural & hydraulic engineering via our licensed partners. We also offer landscape (planting/softscape); exterior lighting; specialty exterior equipment (e.g. built-in grill equipment), project furnishing/fixture design & procurement services. We will discuss plan development & procurement services with our clients upon completion of the conceptual design model.
Step 7: Bid Process & Project Management
EnTerra Design Group offers management services from assistance with the Architectural Review (HOA) approval process, to bid procurement & project management with our preferred trades & vendors. We discuss these management options with our clients & tailor the best approach for their specific project needs. EnTerra Design Group is a Licensed North Carolina General Contractor, License #82870.
