For architects and designers · LPD Builders · CSLB Lic. #1082065
We price your drawings at each revision, so the design is tested against real numbers early and doesn’t get value-engineered after bid.
What you get
Line-by-line pricing at schematic, design development and permit sets.
Material and system options shown with cost, so you and the owner choose with real numbers.
Repair-first approach to original fabric. Working to the standards your preservation consultant sets.
RFIs, submittals and changes handled in writing.
01
We reply within one business day, walk the site with you and the owner, and review whatever set exists.
02
We aim to deliver a written, line-by-line price within 7 calendar days of the walk and the information we need, with alternates priced side by side so the owner chooses with real numbers.
03
We re-price at schematic, design development and permit sets. Then one accountable project manager builds it, with RFIs and submittals in writing.
Proof
Building conversion · Inner Richmond, San Francisco
A former bank branch converted to a counseling clinic: 43 new door openings, a new mezzanine and an accessible lift, with the marble stair, stone wainscot and plaster ceiling kept. Pricing reconciled line by line through every design revision.
Restaurant parklet · Burlingame
A cedar-clad restaurant parklet with a polycarbonate roof, built to replace the old structure.
Proof for architects
Questions
We price alternates during design, so cost decisions are made with you and the owner before bid, not by us after it.
Yes. We repair original fabric first, working to the standards your preservation consultant sets, and coordinate the structural engineer and a preservation consultant where needed.
No. A Rough Order of Magnitude needs no drawings. We refine it as your sets develop.
