DILLON ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

“Code Compliant Design. Developer- Ready Docs.”

READY TO BUILD? LET’S TALK.

Where vision begins to take shape.
We translate story, site, and code into spatial clarity — sketching possibilities, testing flows, and crafting layouts that balance accessibility, emotion, and intent. Every line is a question. Every zone, a promise.

Design Development

Where clarity deepens and ideas gain dimension.
We refine the schematic vision into buildable beauty — aligning materials, systems, and code with the emotional intent of the space. Every detail is tested. Every choice, a commitment to access, atmosphere, and integrity.

The Architectural Process

Preliminary Drawings

We use preliminary drawings to test flows, align with code, and spark collaboration between stakeholders. Every line invites feedback. Every zone begins a dialogue. It’s where vision starts to breathe.

Pricing varies based on project size, complexity, and required deliverables.
Typical factors include:

  • Number of spaces or zones
  • Site overlays or zoning analysis
  • Level of code alignment
  • Format (hand sketch, CAD, or hybrid)
  • Turnaround time and revision cycles

Includes:

  • Conceptual layout sketches
  • Site and zoning overlays
  • PDF deliverables for review and markup

Presentation Drawings

We use presentation drawings to refine layout, scale, and materiality — balancing technical accuracy with visual storytelling. Whether for client meetings, zoning boards, or investor decks, each drawing is a bridge between concept and commitment.

Pricing varies based on project scope, drawing complexity, and required formats.
Typical factors include:

  • Number of views (plans, elevations, sections)
  • Level of detail and annotation
  • Color, texture, and material overlays
  • CAD, PDF, or presentation-ready formats
  • Revision cycles and stakeholder feedback

Includes:

  • Refined layout plans and elevations
  • Visual annotations and material palettes
  • PDF or presentation-ready deliverables
  • Optional feedback and revision support

Working Drawings

Working drawings are the detailed, code-compliant documents that guide construction teams from foundation to finish. These sheets translate design into buildable language — specifying dimensions, materials, systems, and safety requirements with precision and care.

Pricing varies based on project complexity, number of sheets, and required disciplines.
Typical factors include:

  • Architectural, structural, and MEP coordination
  • Annotation depth and detail level
  • Sheet count and drawing scale
  • Revision cycles and jurisdictional requirements

Includes:

  • Dimensioned plans, sections, and elevations
  • Code-compliant notes and annotations
  • Material and system specifications
  • PDF or CAD deliverables for permitting and construction
