In today’s fast-paced building industry, remote architectural design services let you tap into expert talent from anywhere—without the cost and delay of in-office meetings or on-site visits. By working virtually, you gain flexible scheduling, faster turnaround, and full transparency, while assembling the exact team you want. As the owner, you remain in control: you choose your own consultants, subcontractors, or representative, and we collaborate with them seamlessly to protect your interests.

With AFprofessionalgroup’’s Remote Architectural Design Services, you’ll get:

Comprehensive Project Brief
We collect your site surveys, photos, program requirements, budget parameters, and any consultant or subcontractor reports, then synthesize everything into a clear, actionable brief outlining scope, schedule, and key design drivers.

Schematic Design
Our architects develop multiple building massing options, site layouts, and high-level floor plans. You’ll receive PDF sketches (with optional 3D views) to review at your convenience, plus one round of consolidated revisions based on your feedback.

Design Development
We refine the approved scheme into detailed plans, sections, and elevations, coordinating in writing with structural, MEP, and interior consultants.

Construction Documentation
We produce full permit-ready drawings and specifications.

Document Delivery & Submission
We hand off the final submittal package—drawings and specs—to whoever you choose: the owner, the general contractor (GC), or the owner’s representative. The client then handles the actual permit filing; we remain available to address any city comments or addenda by updating drawings as needed within the agreed-upon scope.

By hiring your own team and leveraging our remote process, you maintain tight oversight and clear accountability at every phase. You get the same comprehensive services as a traditional firm—delivered faster, more flexibly, and on your terms.

In a market that moves at lightning speed, engaging remote preconstruction expertise from the very start lets you shape design, value, and budget decisions—saving you time and money down the road. You’ll get clear, milestone-based deliverables on your own timetable, while choosing the exact consultants or representatives you trust.

With AFprofessionalgroup’s Remote Preconstruction Services, you’ll receive:

Preliminary Cost Modeling
Estimates based on your initial program and design parameters, so you can set realistic budgets from day one.

Schedule Outlines
A concise project timeline that pinpoints major milestones, critical-path tasks, and potential pacing issues.

Feasibility Analysis
A deep-dive into site constraints, zoning and code factors, and a top-level cost-versus-value evaluation to confirm your project’s viability.

Owner Advocacy
As your remote Owner’s Representative, we review proposals, coordinate with your chosen team, and provide impartial advice to protect your interests.

Expert Recommendations
Guidance on buildability, material choices, and cost-saving alternatives—delivered asynchronously so you can review on your own schedule.

Risk Assessment
Identification of key project risks (site, budget, schedule) along with proactive strategies to keep your build on track.

Procurement Roadmap
Plan for sourcing long-lead equipment, vetting vendors, and timing purchases to prevent delays.

By engaging our remote preconstruction team early—and hiring your own consultants or representatives—you retain full oversight and accountability at every step. You’ll benefit from the same in-depth analysis as a traditional firm, delivered faster, more flexibly, and entirely on your terms.
