Going back further, however, were the summers and weekends at his family’s Plumbing and Heating business. The work could be grueling, but to him it was an enriching experience that gave him a valuable piece of the puzzle. It was that perspective that all architects need to truly master their craft. Patrick knows that architecture is more than just putting a design together as he’s been on the other side of that fence plenty of times. Ripping up beautiful architecture to fix structural issues is a headache for everyone, which is part of why Patrick dedicated so much time to his craft. Beyond just getting business, the employees at Fox want to be able to look at the finished product and smile knowing they created something that they can be proud of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1544797542292-AGWDB2VB8EMDU6Q0P66E/Image-03.jpg Who We Are https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/services daily 0.75 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1634224473433-ZAVK05BC3P1P6NKJM5U6/House+of+Cleats_0021.jpg Services - Construction Documents With decades of experience comes the confidence and ability to put together a thorough set of construction documents that will arm the contractor with the information they need to complete the project. Plans, details and specifications that will be created, checked and re-checked to ensure the kind of quality control to protect you from scope gaps and minimize change orders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1545413437754-ZXCTOCNMRMPQPLIJN1DR/Schematic+Design Services - Schematic Design Before we dive into the trenches, we’ll start with some sketches. These rough sketches will help us make sure that your vision is being communicated properly so that we’re giving you good results. We’ll work with you to establish a program, project requirements, goals, spatial relationships and initial research including code studies will be performed during this phase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1545413470915-T4D8M7ULVT33ZMD7HUA5/Architectural+Design Services - Design Development Using the schematics we created in the first phase, we’ll move into the specifics and create a more robust design plan. Floor plans, elevations, materials and the other, smaller details will be considered to create a more comprehensive design that matches the goals of the client. We will also engage with our engineers to begin to flesh out the project and integrate the structural, mechanical and electrical systems with the architecture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1634224597646-TONEKXZW6ZMIPEOODVNH/Seasonal+Fashion+Show_19736m.jpg Services - Prototype Development / Maintenance Our experience with National Chain Retailers gives us the unique ability to help in the development of a prototype for your venture that can be utilized and modified to suit site specific needs for your projects across the United States. We can then manage your prototype to keep it evolving so that you can keep current with the latest industry trends as well as track with ever changing building codes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1695144857798-V0N91TPDAGCZY8WAL48T/IMG_2017.JPEG Services https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/projects daily 0.75 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1695145277446-H9ZHM48DMQ5X2EWIJWYH/image-asset.jpeg Projects https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/construction-documents daily 0.75 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/3eabb559-16a5-42dc-b91c-5132f095aa94/Johnson+City.jpg Construction Documents & Administration - Preparing For Construction We’re only as successful as the project’s whole. That’s why, when preparing to hand off the project to the construction team, we’ll make sure they have all of the sketches and imagery they need with the proper detail to get you across the finish line. This can include floor plans, mechanical drawings and 3D Renderings. By this point in the project, you will have seen the schematics and sketches. These will be more detailed and will be specifically tailored to helping the construction team make a structurally sound building with the mechanical, engineering and other considerations in mind.

Being able to set a solid plan that sets the stage for a smooth build is one of the factors that differentiates us from the competition. Our understanding of the process and the client’s needs allows us to lay the foundation for a seamless project, which means fewer Change Orders and less headaches. Taking ideas from the client’s mind and using them to weave a concrete plan can be a challenge.

Your design needs to match your brand and set you up for success. We’ll work together to tailor a design that makes sense, no matter how large or small the project is. Whether it’s a small café, a boutique store, a shopping mall, or an office building, every building has a specific purpose and hiring the right team can ensure that purpose is met in a way that helps the business run efficiently. While the schematics happen early in the process, they’re an important early step in getting your building completed, so it’s important to make sure that everyone agrees before moving on to the next step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1630523933461-QANMB6QR0SV3ENH5EWYC/k2_21+-+Photo.jpg Schematic Design https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/why-choose-us daily 0.75 2019-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1545254836436-LA5S7S08JH3OO6DYSS07/Personality Why Choose Us? - Personality Working with dry architects is both uninspiring and can be a serious drag. You want a group of passionate people who are going to ignite that flame and spark that imaginative side of you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1561045916215-0B9CGATERSN0FYPSD3NO/Customer+Service Why Choose Us? - Customer Service A common hiccup is that the architecture firm simply doesn’t listen to the client.

First, we’ll create some sketches for the preliminary design. Then we’ll meet you on site to field measure the building and discuss any potential issues so we can work through them. There’s also a meeting with the city. We’ve got to discuss timing and submittal requirements for the permit. Once the design is completed and approved by both you and the city, we would move on to the construction documents. These go to the city for permit and to the general contractors for bidding. During construction we’ll review submittals, visit the site for observation of the progress and, at completion, create a punchlist. But design isn’t the only thing that happens before construction: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1613573932572-CVZMA4TK3X4NWXCKYVI7/2021-02-09_Knoxville_8+-+Photo.jpg Design Development https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/prototype-development daily 0.75 2019-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1565617486178-JP9VI62AOXFBZURJMUQL/Value+Engineering+with+Fox+Design+Group Prototype Development - Value Engineering Prototypes have a tendency to get bloated with unneeded expenses over time. With every successive iteration, the reasons things came to be implemented in a program sometimes disappear while the thing itself remains and no one can remember why it was in there in the first place. Our experience makes us an asset to you in helping to trim the fat periodically. We ask the tough questions that help you drill down and uncover what is truly necessary. We can straddle the line between insider/outsider that gives us a unique perspective to help you see the low hanging fruit as well as more complex cost-saving initiatives that may not be so obvious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6873489d5abba58f12a9e5/1610821641771-1H8SV9DQAKJQ3R4TVTN3/IMG_8992.JPEG Prototype Development https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/example-blog-post-1-s55gx monthly 0.5 2017-06-29 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/example-blog-post-2-jbxcp monthly 0.5 2017-06-29 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/example-blog-post-3-negjf monthly 0.5 2017-06-29 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/example-blog-post-4-9spyw monthly 0.5 2017-06-29 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/example-blog-post-5-3bksl monthly 0.5 2017-06-29 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/2017/5/30/example-blog-post-6-wz4sa monthly 0.5 2017-06-29 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/category/Recipes monthly 0.5 https://www.foxdesigngroup.net/blog-margot/category/Restaurants monthly 0.5
