Upside Down Pyramid of Design

RDY-Architect’s Vision

After over 30 years working as an Architect with various Engineering and Architectural Firms, I have set up this business to provide custom design services to assist . My expertise as an architect and forensic building consultant provides high-level architectural design services for all phases of the architectural design process, including

  • Due Diligence studies to determine feasibility of your project

  • Schematic and Design Development Drawings

  • Permitting and Construction Documents

  • General Contractor Bidder Vetting

  • Construction Contract Administration and Close-Outs 

The "Upside Pyramid of Design" diagram illustrates the basic steps involved when embarking upon your remodel of new construction journey. Of critical importance is understanding that early selection of a good design will not only make the upper phases of the project flow but also be the least costly.

I look forward to walking you through the process of design and construction services.

Please contact me to schedule a free initial “due diligence” consultation .

Sincerely,

Rudy D. Young, AIA
