Pre-Development Consulting

The layer of intelligence and vision before you engage an architect.

Feasibility analysis, schematic design, architectural visualization, and tenant marketing — the work that gets a project investor-ready and decision-ready, delivered by one principal.

We are not an architecture firm. We are what comes first.

03 — Engagement

How engagements work.

Clean terms, in writing, up front. No mystery on payment, revisions, or what counts as a change in scope.

01 / Deposit
40% to begin.

New clients pay 40% on engagement, 60% on delivery. Projects over $10,000 use a 40 / 30 / 30 milestone structure.

02 / Revisions
Two rounds included.

Every engagement carries two revision rounds. What counts as a revision — versus a scope change — is defined in writing at the start.

03 / Timeline
Standard or rush.

Standard delivery is quoted with the scope. Rush delivery under seven business days carries a 25–35% premium.

04 / Retainer
Ongoing capacity.

For clients with active pipelines, retainer relationships are available starting at 8–10 hours/month, with a three-month minimum.

04 — Why this works

What makes this different.

Most pre-development work is fragmented — different consultants, different files, different timelines. This practice was built specifically to consolidate it.

→ 01

An illustration background, not a CAD pipeline.

Renderings here begin in a drawing sensibility, not a rendering engine preset. The visual character carries beyond what standard CAD-to-render workflows produce — and it's the same hand from feasibility sketch through final leasing image.

→ 02

Built for the pre-development layer.

The practice is positioned around the work that happens before an architecture firm is engaged. The deliverables are sized for that conversation — for investor meetings, lender packages, tenant pitches, and entitlement screenings.

→ 03

One principal across the full stack.

Feasibility, design, visualization, and marketing are handled by the same person. No handoffs between firms. No drift between the read of the site and the way the project gets sold.

→ 04

Market intelligence packaged with design.

The Tenant Marketing Package bundles renderings and plans with demographic research and anchor tenant mapping — so leasing teams carry one coordinated asset into the field, not three disconnected ones.

Next Step

Twenty minutes. That's all to start.

Bring a site, a building, or a question. We'll talk through scope and fit before any proposal goes on paper.
