The CGV Group employs a dedicated team of architectural and structural engineering professionals with a diverse portfolio, featuring over 1 million square feet of industrial, commercial, and multi-residential space designed in the last two decades. Our holistic approach to design is focused on delivering projects that are both grounded and progressive, as well as sustainable and attainable. Ultimately, we aim to provide design services that meet the current and future needs of our clients and the local community.
Schematic Design
The first stage of the design process is schematic design, where our consulting team works closely with clients to outline the key components and requirements of a project.
Through preliminary building layouts, site plans, and three-dimensional renderings, we translate ideas into visual representations. This focuses on capturing the overall vision, spatial relationships, and key design concepts while setting the foundation for the project’s future development. With the support of our in-house professional quantity surveyors and construction estimators, we provide budgetary estimates to accompany our schematic design material. This provides clients with an initial sense of the project’s feasibility and serves as a valuable tool to help evaluate and determine the best path forward.
Whether you require schematic design drawings to support funding and financing applications, or simply wish to visualize your project before moving forward – our designers can provide customized solutions that meet your needs.
Design Development & Construction Documents
Building upon schematic design material, our consulting team develops detailed architectural and structural designs that shape each room and essential features of the building.
We collaborate with design partners as needed, ensuring the seamless integration of all disciplines for a comprehensive design. The result is a complete set of drawings and specifications that are poised for permit application and construction. As part of our commitment to delivering value, our construction team conducts thorough constructability reviews and budget assessments throughout the preparation of construction documents. This ensures that the final product not only meets project requirements but also remains practical and cost-effective.
