One of the unique elements of the design process the ESM Architects provide, is the initial design session where the architects of ESM meet with you, the client, to not only listen to your ideas but actually sketch in the meeting with you. This serves to directly involve you in the excitement of the design process and ultimately results in a better design solution most suited to your needs. Usually this time of brainstorming drawing occurs right on the site. It can be a memorable time, and the goal for this meeting is to come up with some freehand plan drawings and perspective sketch images which capture the essence and scope of the project.
This also provides an opportunity to start discussing the project budget and to make design decisions that help align the project size, scope and quality with the clients target budget. In fact, this initial design session tends to set the tone for the entire project.
