Our Process

Our design process broken down is broken down into phases.

DISCOVERY CALL

At Delmont, every project starts with a conversation. We are interested in hearing about your project and see if our architectural expertise can help you reach your goals.

PRE-DESIGN

In this first phase, we take time to listen; learning how you live, what inspires you, and what defines “home” for you. Through intentional conversations, we clarify your goals, aesthetic direction, functional needs, timeline, and budget so every decision that follows is grounded in purpose. We also perform a site analysis to study and its constraints, opportunities, lighting, and view corridors.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

This is a highly collaborative phase — a creative dialogue where big-picture ideas take shape and we define the architectural character of your home. We help your vision take form through hand-drawn sketches, 3D studies, and conceptual layouts. We explore how your home sits on the land, how spaces flow, and how materials and form can express your lifestyle.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

With the schematic design approved, we begin to hardline the hand-drawn drawings. Plans become more detailed as we study materials, structure, lighting, and the integration of systems. We coordinate with engineers, builders, and other consultants to ensure every design decision supports both beauty and function. This phase transforms the concept into a complete, buildable design with a clear sense of atmosphere and craft.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

This is where design meets precision. We produce the detailed drawings and technical specifications that guide the construction process — from framing and finishes to windows, doors, and custom details. These documents ensure your builder has the information needed to bring the design to life accurately, efficiently, and true to intent.

CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION

As your home comes to life, we remain closely involved as your design advocate. We review shop drawings, finish samples, mock-ups, and construction progress, while collaborating with the builder to ensure the details are executed as envisioned. Our observation helps preserve design integrity, resolve questions quickly, and maintain alignment between the drawings and the built reality, ensuring the finished home reflects the care and craftsmanship invested from the start.
