DESIGN & BUILD SERVICES

Architectural Design

K. Moye Land Design and Development Co. provides strategic, budget-conscious, and forward-thinking design development services. We collaborate with our clients to conduct product selections and finalize plans. We coordinate with consultants, engineers, and other professionals to facilitate a smooth construction phase.

Design development (DD) takes the schematic design (SD) one step further. Our architects take your input from the SD phase and translate it into a more detailed building plan. Within design development, we make final selections on specific products and furnishings, while preliminary engineering begins on the building’s various systems.

By the end of the design development stage, you will have a fully fleshed blueprint ready to submit for permits and begin the bidding process.

  • ARCHITECT-DIRECTED PRODUCT SELECTION

    A significant portion of design development is working with the client to make product selections. Our architects offer a pragmatic perspective during this task, and our guidance ensures that the project budget stays on track.


    Allow us to assist you in exploring all the amenities available to you. More than that, allow us to help you analyze each one’s longevity, energy efficiency, value, and beauty. In design development, you can expect to give the final say on:

    • Flooring
    • Windows
    • Doors
    • Appliances
    • And more

    This is an exciting time where you have free reign to add your personal flair to all these features. We’ll work closely with you to make sure every choice is judicious and will serve your best interests well into the future.

  • INTERIOR DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

    Whatever details were lacking in the schematic design will be thoroughly addressed during design development. We go over our interior design with you to make sure everything from the entryway to the guest powder room gets your full stamp of approval.


    At our firm, we like to think of design development as a focusing lens on a camera. At this stage, vague concepts are pulled into focus to reveal the details within. In DD, you work closely with the architect to identify and weed out potential flaws until only a robust design remains.


    Upon DD completion, you’ll have a perfected:

    • Floor plan
    • Elevation plan
    • Section drawings with dimensions
    • With these documents solidified and in place, we shift our focus to the exciting task of construction.

  • COORDINATING BUILDING SYSTEMS

    Design development is an intersecting point for many different professionals. Your architect plays an integral role in coordinating all spheres of your new build, including:

    • Structural systems
    • Mechanical systems
    • Electrical systems

    By bringing these elements together, your building fits together like pieces of a puzzle. Our firm acts as a reliable liaison for consultants and engineers to keep everyone working together cohesively.

Architectural Drafting Services

Every successful building project starts with detailed plans and blueprints. K. Moye Land Design and Development Co. uses nothing but the industry’s best techniques and technology to create detailed diagrams, written plans, and comprehensive models of your project so we can visualize the final structure before we bring it to life.

Having worked in this industry for years, our architects know what it takes to plan for and execute a high-quality building project. We have designed and completed structures of all kinds using a wide range of materials and techniques. Though every building project is different, all of them deserve a rigorous planning and drafting process to ensure optimal results, and our team is happy to help.

Our experts would be happy to explain the planning process in further detail and let you know how it will work. If you’d like to chat, we invite you to reach us and book a consultation today.

Architectural Programming

K. Moye Land Design and Development Co. excels in the programming phase of pre-construction planning. We conduct extensive research and engage in thoughtful client-architect dialogues to identify your future building’s spatial requirements. Then, we optimize a layout that seamlessly lends function to form.

  • PROGRAMMING SERVICES

    Your building’s architectural program is a vital point of reference for the future schematic design of your space. The program goes by many names, and you may hear it referred to as a:

    • Design brief
    • Facilities program
    • Space program
    • Owner’s statement of requirements
    • Space needs analysis

    All these technical terms signify the same thing: the description of your building’s spatial requirements. In a nutshell, your architectural program denotes:

    • Space and adjacency requirements
    • Room-by-room technical requirements
    • Engineering requirements
    • A base cost estimate

    The more thorough and in-depth the program, the more effective and influential the final product. At our firm, we delve deep into each project’s programmatic needs to procure the most detailed analyses possible. In so doing, our architects ensure that you reap the most practical and sustainable use out of your property investment, both now and in the long-term.

Building Code Analysis

Analyzing and applying building codes to your construction project is one of the most critical roles we play as architects. Building codes exist to protect people and property, and they are essential to every building project, no matter its size or nature.

Over the years, our team has broken down our code review process into several steps, we will consider:

  • OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION

    Essentially, the occupancy classification outlines how the building will be used. Hospitals and factories, for example, have very different functions and will require different approaches to safety.

  • LOCATION

    Location determines where the building will be situated on your property and its safety in this location.

  • CONSTRUCTION TYPE

    The construction type determines how the project will be built, the kind of materials that will be used, and the risks these methods and materials pose to the structure itself.

  • SPRINKLERS

    While not all buildings require the use of sprinklers, they are often the cheapest way to help your facility meet fire safety codes. Thinking about sprinklers and installing them from the get-go is also recommended to save time and money.

  • FLOOR AREA

    The allowable square footage that the building code allows.

  • MEANS OF EGRESS

    Once the abovementioned factors have been considered, it is the architect’s job to develop a safe pathway out of the building, or several depending on how many people will be using the space.

  • MEET WITH AN ARCHITECT

    Compatibility matters to us. We seek to build strong client relationships founded on mutual understanding, appreciation, and trust. To that end, we conduct in-depth preliminary consultations in-house. These appointments are a chance for you to get to know our team and discover how we can help you meet your design goals. Nothing is off the table during these discussions—we aim to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision concerning your project. Together, we’ll discuss budgets, site details, contract bidding, and all other project constraints in detail.


    Exceptional customer service is the hallmark of our design process, and we’re confident you’ll notice as much right from the outset. Our goal is always your satisfaction, and you can expect us to do everything possible to earn it.

Construction Administration

When people envision the role of an architectural designer, they tend to think of the initial planning process. While architects are needed heavily at the beginning stages of a building project, they can offer valuable guidance throughout construction.

K. Moye Land Design and Development Co. is happy to offer comprehensive construction administration services to every client. We stay involved in your building project from concept to competition and ensure construction goes off without a hitch.

  • UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATORS

    Essentially, the role of a construction administrator is to oversee your construction’s progress. Our tasks may include:

    • Conducting on-site meetings with the contractor and owner every few weeks
    • Resolving issues that arise
    • Dealing with unforeseen problems
    • Observing the progress and ensuring things run on schedule and budget
    • Answering questions from the contractor or owners
    • Revising drawing when necessary
    • Making changes to permits when significant revisions are necessary

    In many ways, only the designer of your building is qualified to make significant changes and ensure safety at the same time. If you have questions for our experts, please don’t hesitate to bring them forward.

  • ALLOW OUR DESIGNERS TO ADVOCATE ON YOUR BEHALF

    As the owner of a property in the midst of a construction project, you want to ensure that your vision and expectations aren’t just communicated to those working on your building but are really understood. A construction administrator can help to ensure those working on your site understand the plans in place and are working to meet your specifications.


    If we notice something that doesn’t seem to correlate, we are happy to advocate on your behalf and set the record straight. With our team in your corner, you can ensure accurate results.

  • CONSTRUCTION BID SOLICITATION

    One of the most important preliminary steps in your building project is soliciting bids to potential contractors. These bids will outline the scope and details of your building project and will be bid on by subcontractors who wish to work with you.


    If you are halfway through, or even at the beginning stages of a building project, you know how many moving pieces there are. So naturally, you will need to hire qualified experts to put these pieces together and bring your vision to fruition. But how do you know who is best suited for the job? And how do you know whether you’re getting the best bang for your buck? That’s where the bid solicitation process comes in.


    It’s our job to help you develop bid packages that prospective subcontractors can review. The package will outline every detail of the building project, from necessary wiring to permits, timeline, budget, design, and so much more. Creating a detailed package is essential if you want to achieve accurate results and attract the right kind of help.


    These bidding packages will be reviewed by contracting companies. If these companies wish to work with you on the project, they will submit a bid and essentially compete for the job with other contractors. You will then choose your crew based on the offer they make and how qualified they are for the job.

  • CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT NEGOTIATION

    Once you have created bidding packages for your construction project, you will need to sift through the bids and choose the very best crew for your build. In some cases, you may receive various proposals, and finding the right people for the job can be daunting. While some property owners may be quick to choose the best price, it is important to consider the qualifications of each potential candidate, and our experts can help.


    Essentially, determining who will work on your project must be a keen negotiation between cost and expertise. While finding a great rate on subcontracting is great, hiring a team that has worked on similar projects in the past might be of higher value and result in higher quality execution.


    Some aspects we will help you consider include:

    • The price, timeline, and scope of your project
    • Potential changes to the plan
    • Indemnification
    • Insurance
    • Certifications
    • Grounds for contract termination

    If you’re ready to understand the negotiation process in further detail, K. Moye Land Design and Development Co. kindly asks you to book a consultation with our experts at your earliest convenience.

  • CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATING

    Determining an accurate cost estimate will ensure the success of your building project. Inaccurate estimating could cause both the contractor and the client to lose money. Many factors go into determining an accurate quote, and our expert team wants to help.


    The moment you reach our experts about your upcoming building project, we will spring into action, booking a consultation at your earliest convenience. During this meeting, we will discuss the three primary elements of any project:

    1. Scope
    2. Budget
    3. Schedule

    From there, we can get into more detail, talking about building materials, the cost of labor, obtaining permits, post-construction clean-up, and more.


    You may be surprised how many different elements need to be considered in your estimate, and our job is to make sure you’re aware of what you’re paying from the get-go.

  • CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT CREATION

    K. Moye Land Design and Development Co. offers comprehensive construction document creation for design-builds with all types of project delivery. Our firm is an industry leader for economical and timely CD development.

  • DRAFTING CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

    At this point in the design process, the four walls and everything in between is finalized. Design changes should be minimal if there are any. Here, we take your complete designs and translate them into blueprints of the foundation, floors, and roof. We consult with engineers to denote every minute component’s details, including:

    • Location
    • Name
    • Size and dimensions
    • Shape and form
    • Other details

    With this information in hand, the contracting crew’s assembly task is clear and straightforward.


    State-of-the-Art CAD Software

    As a foremost architectural firm, we’ve invested in our software because we understand that the efficacy of our tools affects the efficiency of our work. All our in-house staff has access to state-of-the-art CAD software. Our CDs are created with leading 3D technology that makes documentation easier to visualize, edit, and transmit.

The detail we provide in the foundation and framing plans enables contractors to drive down costs and downtime across the board.

  • CONSTRUCTION FEASIBILITY STUDIES

    Similar to code analysis, construction feasibility studies consider every factor of your building project to determine its viability. Unlike building codes, however, feasibility refers to more than just safety – it also considers factors like budget, legality, aesthetics, environment, etc..


    Considering the look, feel, function, effect, and overall viability of your building project will work to determine its overall success. Our team has years of extensive experience working on dozens of unique building projects, and we’re happy to provide you professional guidance. Together, we will consider the following factors:

    • Technology and systems
    • Economics and budget
    • Legal parameters
    • Operational capacity
    • Scheduling
    • Aesthetics
    • Environmental impact
    • Cultural impact
    • And more!

    Be sure to let us know if you have any particular concerns. We’d be happy to offer our professional expertise in helping you make the appropriate decisions.

  • CONSTRUCTION PERMIT PROCUREMENT

    A permit is official approval from your district to move forward with the building project. The permit will show that your building plans comply with municipal safety codes and construction standards related to sanitation, zoning, fire risks, electricity, and more. Obtaining a permit is not always easy and having the support and guidance of a professional contractor can make a significant difference. K. Moye Land Design and Development Co. would be happy to help you procure the permits needed to legally move forward with your building project.

  • CONSTRUCTION SITE PLANNING

    There is a lot that goes into constructing a home or business building, and the time and care you put in during the planning stages of the project will directly impact its overall success. Our architects know better than anyone the importance of construction site planning, and we’re very proud to help our clients get started on the right foot.


    Do you want to get an idea of what the planning process will look like? Your plan should include the following:

  • THE BASICS OF SITE RESEARCH

    Site research is not for the faint of heart. Our architects pour endless hours of painstaking research into compiling data-driven reports on behalf of our clientele. On any given lot, we will dive into the fine print of:

    • Geographic location
    • Topography
    • Site boundaries and dimensions
    • Circulation and accessibility
    • Climate conditions
    • Legal information
    • And more

    All these minute details will have a direct impact on the future construction and long-term operation of your new build. Therefore, each one deserves careful attention and thoughtful consideration—and that’s precisely what our architects offer.

Our in-house architects develop meticulous and realistic design concepts both by hand and using 3D rendering technology to help our clients achieve and visualize their design objectives.


    Nothing escapes our artistic eye. When our architects begin a schematic design, we set out to draft the most comprehensive project overview we can. We include every possible detail, using every tool we have available (and we have many). When you partner with our firm, your schematic design will denote:

    • HVAC systems
    • Plumbing systems
    • Electrical systems
    • All other building code requirements

    The schematic design will encompass our thorough site analysis and comply with all zoning and building code requirements. For us, the schematic design serves as a launching pad for all other legs of the project. We endeavor to exceed client expectations with a robust, vision-capturing rendering that will catalyst the next design phases straight to success.

  • SUSTAINABLE BUILDING DESIGNS
