Bringing the warm modern home of your dreams to life starts with a strategic vision. At CW Architects, our experts complete the groundwork through comprehensive luxury home pre-design services. We collaborate with you to understand both your building goals and site characteristics, resulting in a personalized approach to construction.

A Step-by-Step Pre-Design Architectural Consultation

Throughout our years of serving Nashville’s most discerning clients, we’ve developed a proven process for a seamless building experience. It all starts with pre-design. 

Zoning and Code Reviews

Our team conducts a comprehensive zoning and building code review to determine any applicable restrictions. We’ll thoroughly investigate details like setback requirements, height restrictions, architectural design limitations, and HOA directives. With this in-depth understanding of potential challenges, we create a framework that’s proactively set up for future building success.

Program Analysis

Your dream home is more than external curb appeal. How it flows, feels, and adapts to your changing lifestyle needs is equally important to long-term happiness. Our team takes the time to learn what’s important to you, considering elements like natural light, indoor-outdoor connections, layout, and more.

Site Evaluation

Your new home’s site has unique characteristics that impact buildability and design choices. From soil composition and topography to environment and orientation, we evaluate the site characteristics to understand the opportunities and constraints of the project’s surroundings.

Construction Cost Analysis 

Every project has a budget. That budget can be and should be understood as early as this phase. We provide you with a realistic construction budget with real numbers and a solid game plan before design starts. 

Pre-Design Services Deliverables

The pre-design phase ends with a preliminary floor plan, preliminary 3D visuals, and preliminary construction and design budgets.

Our team brings all the elements together into 3D drawings so you can see your new home come to life. 

Once we’ve presented these deliverables, we can discuss contractual details and proceed to schematic design.
