The Wright Architecture Process
What to Expect From Beginning to End
We break down our design process into phases to align the scope with your vision and construction costs along the way.
01.
Initial Consultation
Let's start the conversation
We will start by having you fill-out our client inquiry form. Upon submission, you'll be prompted to book a complimentary 30-minute zoom consultation with us. This gives us an opportunity to learn more about your project and what your needs will be. During our call, we'll review your project scope, discuss our services, and walk through our process. We'll gather all necessary information to create your project proposal.
02.
Discovery Site Visit
Getting to know your space
Following our initial consultation and upon acceptance of our proposal, you'll receive a link to book your one-hour site visit. We'll walk through your space together, reviewing your needs, wants, and dreams to define detailed project scope. We'll look at your inspiration photos, existing drawings, and discuss any other important details you'd like to share.
