Process

A clear path from concept to construction.

ATECT guides projects through discovery, design, documentation and the next phase—while adapting the process to the needs of each project.

The ATECT Process

Five stages. One coordinated path.

The exact scope changes with the project. The process below shows the common path from the first conversation through construction support.

We start by understanding your property, goals, priorities, budget considerations and the scope you are considering.

  • Initial consultation
  • Project goals and priorities
  • Property and existing-condition review
  • Project scope and next steps

Design

We translate the project needs into a design direction, developing the layout, form and details around how the project needs to work.

  • Concept development
  • Floor-plan planning
  • Exterior design direction
  • Options, revisions and design decisions
03
Stage 03

Document

The selected design is developed into coordinated architectural drawings that can support pricing, permitting and construction.

  • Plans and elevations
  • Architectural details
  • Construction-document sets
  • Code and ADA coordination as applicable
04
Stage 04

Approve

When permitting is part of the scope, we help move the documentation through the approval process and respond to required revisions.

  • Permit documentation
  • Agency coordination
  • Plan-review responses
  • Required revisions

Stage 05

Build

Once the project moves toward construction, ATECT can provide design and documentation support as needed and contracted.

  • Builder and contractor coordination
  • Design clarification
  • Documentation support
  • Construction-phase design assistance
Flexible by Design

Start where your project needs us.

Not every project requires every stage. ATECT can join a project during early planning, design development, construction documentation, permitting, or when additional design and drafting support is needed.

Scope is tailored to the services your project actually requires.
For Builders & Contractors

Documentation that helps move projects forward.

ATECT provides construction-ready documentation and coordination for builders and contractors, including drawing clarification, revisions and project-specific design support as contracted.
