An Efficient Approach To High-End Design

WSJ Designs prides itself on being a full-service residential design firm with a desire for unbounded collaboration. We believe that open communication and a team approach throughout a project is essential. Exchanging knowledge and information with a multitude of professionals, especially at early stages of a project, ultimately leads to a more efficient and effective design. Our process has proven to reduce direct costs while improving outcomes. By directly involving clients, consultants, trades and other stakeholders at key moments throughout the design process, we can effectively eliminate the roadblocks that threaten to waste time and resources

05Testimonials

quote-img
The entire process of working with WSJ Designs has been thoroughly enjoyable. William has gone above and beyond to make our design dreams come true. We were so impressed with how quickly our design came together. This has been such a fun experience and we can not wait to watch our ADU come to life.
Jill and SchuylerBuilder: SM Design Build
When we decided to build an ADU as a means of generating rental income, we knew we wanted a design that fit in with our existing home’s unique look and style. William was able to produce a design that blended seamlessly. We are very pleased with William’s work, and appreciate how quick and responsive he was throughout the entire process.
Alan and AngieBuilder: SM Design Build
WSJ Designs was referred to us by a mutual friend in the real estate industry. William has been such a joy to work with. He has taken all of our notes and ideas and created the most beautiful space for our garage conversion/ADU. We are so pleased that our new addition will keep with the original character of our existing home and excited to see how this project turns out.
Christin and JasperBuilder: House to Home
William is so professional in his demeanor and his approach in helping me express my vision for my house remodel. And a BIG PLUS is his follow up with the city building permit department and keeping me informed of the delay and process. Will, as an artist, has a sense for balance and form. He combined form and function and translated to a plan that expressed it all better than what I had in mind.
Annette Robinson
Seriously you won't find another person who can sit and draw up your ADU/build than Will. His work is beyond thought out and so on point. He listens, updates and executes his drawings. His team of engineers, GC's and others really impressed me and the work getting delivered is gorgeous! Thanks!

    Construction

    Following permit issuance and builder selection, the WSJ Design team will be available to field any questions the client or builder may have throughout the construction process.

    Permit Sprint

    Our team will be by our side for a seamless permit submission process. WSJ Designs will remain diligent in following your project through permit issuance. We will take care of any necessary corrections to push your permit through to approval.

    Design Development

    Following  the concept Design Charrette, our team will develop out your project into a full Design Development set, including coloured floor plans, 2D coloured elevations and a proposed roof plan.

    Construction Documentation

    The WSJ Design drafting team will begin to develop full Construction Document Set. Our proprietary process involves coordination with our trusted network of consultants and experts to ensure our due diligence and compliance with all mandatory building codes, energy calculations, and engineering requirements.

    Builder Introductions

    The WSJ Design team will initiate Builder introductions at this time to allow clients the opportunity to receive preliminary construction cost estimates.

    Concept Design

    Our Principle Designer will produce a preliminary hand-sketched floor plan and elevations to present for client review and discussion. Each project then undergoes a comprehensive Design Charrette meeting to collaborate with the client and any necessary consultants. Changes, revision, and any additional details will be redlined in this meeting. This hands-on, collaborative design process allows us to realize your vision in real time with you.

    Site Discovery

    The WSJ Designs team will coordinate a site survey and any necessary on-site measurements prior to beginning the concept design phase. We will perform any necessary research on existing permits and zoning requirements. Our trusted network of consultants are notified of the estimated project schedule at this time to ensure a seamless transition through each phase (i.e. Structure Engineer, Title 24 Expert, Builder, Permit Runner, etc.)

    Onboarding

    Following an initial consultation. Our team will establish the project’s feasibility, gather the desired programming, and provide an estimated fee proposal.
