Concept Design

Concept Design is the crucial first step in the design process.  It establishes a vision for the project to be shared by the entire design team and determines the way forward as the design progresses.  Fish Mackay Architects provides Conceptual Design services for a variety of project types and purposes, including:

• Determination of development capacity of site
• Site planning-determination of relationship of building to site features and surrounding context.
• Preliminary cost estimatation
• Community outreach
• Communication to financial partners and lenders
• Initiation of entitlement process

Great decisions made during the Conceptual Design phase will benefit the project throughout its duration and are necessary to ensure the result of a creatively-designed, high-quality environment.
