Focused support for owners, developers, and architecture firms.
Get an independent architectural perspective on project documents, code questions, and decisions that need attention. C7 helps you understand the issues, organize priorities, and identify practical next steps.
Architecture firms can also turn to C7 for additional review and coordination support at key project milestones, working alongside the existing team.
01 / DOCUMENT REVIEW
Drawing & specification review
When this helps
You want another perspective on project documents before a milestone. For example, your drawing set is approaching permit submission and you want an independent review of selected drawings and specifications for coordination gaps.
What you receive
Annotated documents, a prioritized issue list, and a findings discussion to help your team address questions before the next milestone.
What we can examine
Selected drawings, details, and specification sections.
Apparent inconsistencies, coordination questions, and information needing clarification.
Responses to review comments and remaining questions.
The proposal identifies the documents, review objectives, deliverables, and any follow-up review. Architectural code review can be included as a separate part of the engagement.
02 / CODE REVIEW
Architectural code review
When this helps
A code question is holding up a project decision. For example, your team needs to understand how an egress requirement affects a proposed layout before the next design revision or conversation with the jurisdiction.
As a Washington-licensed architect and certified Building Plans Examiner (ICC B3) I can assist in evaluating code compliant options to resolve the impasse.
What you receive
A review memorandum, annotated documents, or a question-and-response record explaining relevant provisions, open questions, and recommended next steps.
What we can examine
The applicable code edition and relevant local amendments.
Architectural code topics affecting the decision at hand.
Supporting project information and questions to resolve with the design team or jurisdiction.
The proposal identifies the topics, documents, deliverables, and any follow-up review. Permit decisions and official interpretations remain with the authority having jurisdiction.
03 / OWNER ADVISORY
Focused owner advisory
When this helps
You need help weighing a project decision or resolving a coordination issue. For example, your consultants have offered different recommendations and you want to understand the tradeoffs, missing information, and decisions needed to move forward.
What you receive
A decision summary, action list, or meeting record that makes the options, responsibilities, and next steps easier to understand.
How I can support you
Review the background information, your priorities, and project constraints.
Identify missing information, dependencies, and questions for your project team.
Participate in project discussions and organize findings and follow-up actions.
The proposal establishes C7’s role, deliverables, meeting commitments, and any delegated responsibilities. Broader owner-representation support can be discussed based on project needs.
WORKING TOGETHER
How we work together
1. Discuss the need
Share your project’s location, current stage, question, and desired timing.
2. Plan the work
We establish the scope, information needed, deliverables, schedule, and fee before work begins.
3. Put findings to use
Use the findings to prioritize issues, inform decisions, and plan the next steps with your project team.
Part of your project team
C7 works alongside your existing project participants. Supporting sketches or diagrams can help explain findings and options when included in the proposal.
