START-TO-FINISH SERIES: Phase Two – Design Development

We are continuing into the next phase of our one-stop-shop design process – Design Development. While our project coordinators are conducting due diligence, our architectural and/or civil team is working on the following:

  • Developing preliminary site plan layouts
  • Creating a floorplan layout
  • Designing exterior elevations
  • Creating 3D Renderings
  • Adapting the design based on local requirements discovered in due diligence
  • Making revisions based on client review and comments

And more! We enjoy working closely with the client in this phase to create their vision and design solutions to meet their needs. Stay tuned for the next phase!

Site Visit: BWW – Torrance, CA

Site Visit: BWW – Torrance, CA

Our President & Interior Design team had the opportunity to travel to California recently to visit ongoing projects. While there, they got to perform a progress check at a new-build Buffalo Wild Wings location in Torrance that is nearing completion.

Progress checks are an important part of the process and help ensure that the construction is going smoothly. Being on site allowed the team to check in with the general contractor and clarify any questions he had, as well as walk through the space and ensure that the details and finishes were installed according to the provided construction documents. We can’t wait to see how this project turns out!⁣

Start-To-Finish Series: BWW Xenia, OH

: ⁣

This series will walk you through our step-by-step process of our one-stop-shop, nationwide design. The project we chose to feature is the Buffalo Wild Wings in Xenia, OH which we completed for BWW franchisee, Grube, Inc. We are so excited to see this project open back in November 2023 and look forward to letting you in on the journey.

Our projects always begin with Due Diligence. In this first phase, our team:
• Reviews the site information provided by the client
• Analyzes the site conditions and constraints
• Investigates and researches on local guidelines, fees, and permitting timelines
• Visits the site to document existing conditions
• Prepares a Preliminary Site Investigation Report
• Creates site and building Test-fits

And more!

Our goal in this phase is to identify the local requirements, project feasibility, and any concerns to the client so that they have full transparency at the project’s inception, rather than being surprised later down the road.

Stay tuned for our next step in the process…

This week we enjoyed visiting the recently opened BWW Go nestled right in the heart of downtown Akron, OH. It was fulfilling to see the corner entry illuminated as a beacon to draw guests inside.
