BEFORE YOU BUILD

Validate your design, budget, and major project decisions before committing to detailed plans or construction.

Develop enough of the design to know whether the project makes financial sense.

DESIGN DIRECTION

A schematic concept shaped around your site, needs and priorities.

BUDGET RANGE

An initial view of what the concept may realistically cost.

KEY TRADE-OFFS

What to increase, reduce, simplify or prioritize.

RECOMMENDED NEXT STEP

Proceed, revise, phase, reconsider—or stop.

the problem

Most budget problems don't start during construction.

A project can look achievable until design decisions become drawings, quantities, specifications, and actual costs.

By then, you've already invested in a direction that may need to change.

"Arch. Diaz is the epitome of creativity and resourcefulness. She transformed our limited budget into a visually stunning, viable project that delighted our customers. Her ability to think outside the box—like repurposing old materials to create unique design features—made our project truly one-of-a-kind."

WHAT MAKES US QUALIFIED? →

BEFORE YOU COMMIT MILLIONS, ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.

Can we actually afford this?

Understand whether the project you're imagining aligns with the investment you're prepared to make.

How much can we realistically build?

Explore the relationship between your desired floor area, specifications, priorities and budget.

Which option gives us the most value?

Compare alternatives before committing to a direction.

Are we ready to proceed?

Move into detailed design only when the concept and financial direction makes sense.

change it here

Not halfway through construction

A concept is easiest to change before it becomes documentation, and far easier before it becomes construction.

Can we create a project we want within our budget?

If the answer is yes, continue.

If something needs to change, change it now.

If the project doesn't make financial sense yet, know before making larger decisions.

You don't have to commit to the entire project yet.

Start by answering the question that matters now.

Frequently asked questions

<strong>Is this already architectural design?</strong>

Is this already architectural design?

Yes. Unlike a traditional design process where an architect presents a proposal after weeks of work, the Design Sprint develops your project with you in the room. Design decisions are explored, refined, and validated in real time against your budget, site constraints, and priorities, resulting in a clear, validated direction before detailed architectural documentation begins.

Do I need to have plans already?

Do I need to have plans already?

No. Most clients begin with only a property, an idea, or a list of requirements. The Sprint is designed to help shape the project before detailed plans are prepared, while major decisions are still relatively inexpensive to change.

What if I already have a design?

What if I already have a design?

You can still use the Sprint to evaluate your existing concept. We'll test whether it aligns with your budget, objectives, and site conditions, identify potential risks, and explore alternatives before moving further into the project.

Are construction drawings produced during the Sprint?

Are construction drawings produced during the Sprint?

No. The Sprint focuses on developing and validating the project's direction. It may include sketches, diagrams, conceptual layouts, or schematic models, but it does not produce permit drawings or detailed construction documents.

Do I have to hire Larquitectura afterward?

Do I have to hire Larquitectura afterward?

No. The Sprint is a standalone engagement intended to help you make better project decisions. You're free to continue with us or use the outcomes to inform the next stage of your project.
