Our Process

Schematic Design

Our schematic design process allows our experienced team of designers and architects to express their talents, imagination, and expertise to create innovative and timeless designs. Our team works closely with our clients to establish the project’s program, scope, and vision. This is where your ideas take physical form, focusing on flow, layout, and overall feel. At every stage, client feedback is essential to continuously refine the development of preliminary conceptual floor plans and elevations, ensuring the vision is complete before moving forward. Through continual collaboration with our clients, all documents are reviewed and approved, marking the successful completion of the schematic design phase. These final designs serve as the trusted conceptual foundation for all subsequent phases.

Design Review

Design review involves formal evaluation by the City’s Architectural Review Board and, where applicable, a Homeowner’s Association (HOA). During this phase, the project is reviewed to verify its compliance with applicable design standards, guidelines, and policies, as well as its compatibility with the local community. Felten Group’s design review services include renderings, color schemes, and application plan, resulting in architecture that strengthens community character, enhances safety, and contributes to a cohesive, well- planned environment.

Design Development

Design development advances schematic designs through providing proof of concept by transforming the designs into a technical set of plans using advanced software technology such as CAD and BIM. Through close collaboration among our designers, architects, engineers, and client consultants, we focus on proactively resolving key technical components by integrating vital systems (structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc.) into the design. A well-executed design development set does not just focus on technicalities, but it also preserves the original design and vision established during the schematic phase. By diving deeper into technical details, a reliable foundation is established leading to higher quality architectural, structural, and consultant documentation.

Construction Documents

Preparation of construction documentation is one of our core architectural services. Our team provides high quality, industry-leading construction documentation for in-house designs or designs provided by other customer project consultants. The objective is to turn the vision into existence, transforming approved designs into a detailed roadmap that guides your project from concept into reality. We take pride in acting as the vital link between conceptual design and successful construction. Our approach centers on creating clear, comprehensive, and highly accurate documentation that our clients, homebuilders, contractors, and municipalities continually trust for bidding, permitting, contract management, and building. Felten Group ensures your construction documentation provides the highest in industry standards by prioritizing code compliance, seamless collaboration with all consultants, and precise technical documentation.
