FAQs

What’s the process of working with Bemberg Architecture?

Great question! We'll summarize our process with the following topics:

Preliminary Dialogue
($150 for initial meeting)

• First, we like to have some Preliminary Dialogue where we can mutually assess if this will be the right fit. 

  • You will need to have a rough budget before we can move forward with your project. 

• Once we have detailed information on your project, we will send you a calendar link to schedule our initial meeting at the project site.

  •  Initial meeting fee to be paid beforehand. If you decide to move forward with the project we'll roll that fee into the initial phase deposit.

Feasibility Research
(fee tbd based on scope)

• After that first meeting we’ll follow up with a Feasibility Research Proposal that will have a defined scope of work and fee to assess your project.

  • A Feasibility Research Proposal will review site/property information, and use analysis to determine the practicality of design and construction. 

• During this phase a 3rd party estimator will be brought in to provide a rough order of magnitude cost of construction.

Project Design
(fee % of construction costs based on scope)

• If you decide to move forward after reviewing the Feasibility Research (which includes cost estimates), we will send your a Project Design Proposal

Permit/Construction Drawings
(fee % of construction costs based on scope, additional hours outside of proposal billed per hour)

• In the final phase we’ll finalize the permit/construction documents. You will receive electronic or printed copies of your Permit/Construction Drawings

  • You will be responsible for submitting your drawings for permit approval. Alternatively, your contractor can also submit drawings for permit approval. 

    • Bemberg Architecture is not responsible for submitting permit applications. 

And that's a quick summary of our architectural service process! If you have more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Are you a contractor?

No, we are architects. We sketch, draw, draft and build really nice models but don’t swing hammers (at least from 9-5). 

I'm interested but I have more specific questions about my project!
