CASCADIA DESIGN-BUILD

From concept to move-in, we provide professional quality design service at an affordable price.

Cascadia works with property owners, real estate brokers, developers and contractors to provide architectural services, engineering, construction, complete planning, design and construction. By providing architectural services and then following through with the construction, Cascadia is able to use their intimate knowledge of the design and plans throughout the construction process. This reduces the chance of oversight or misinterpretation of construction aspects, while saving time and money for our clients.

This project involves the design and development of a private residence tailored to the specific needs, preferences, and lifestyle of the client.

Rather than applying a standardized housing model, the intent is to create a home that responds directly to its context—both in terms of site conditions and the way the space will be used on a daily basis. Careful consideration is given to spatial relationships, natural light, circulation, and long-term functionality.

The following outlines the general design-build approach applied to residential projects, from initial planning through construction.

 The above example is a fact-gathering program analysis sheet typical at the onset of a project. 

The program in this example involves several pages, sketches, and photographs that all inform the desires of the owner and the goals of the project as they relate to the limitations of the site and applicable codes. 

Our team uses various tools, from hand drafting to computer graphics, to produce documents that are efficient and clear for ease of construction as our design-build team carries out the plan. 

Our architects follow the construction process to ensure all specifications are in place and understood by all trades. 

Construction Administration and Construction Management Services

What sets our design-build practice apart from others is the fact that we began as an architecture firm focused on accurate communication of design elements necessary to construct structures without errors, with efficiency, and with careful attention to aesthetics and details.

This is opposite of most design-build companies, which tend to be contractors that evolve to take on staff capable of producing design documents. Our evolution is what allows us to carry our thorough understanding of the design clearly through the construction process.
