Time: 3-5 weeks Step 5: Regulatory Submittal and Final DesignWith an initial design complete, we handle all the necessary paperwork to submit your project for any necessary government permits. Your design is finalized as we tune it to meet specifications.

Time: 8-16 weeks Step 7: Construction BeginsBy week 16, you will have chosen a contractor and work will be under way! We make frequent visits during this stage to ensure that everything goes smoothly, and can make on-the-fly changes to the design when difficulties arise.
