PROJECT CONCEPTION
ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT
With any project, it’s hard to think of a more important step than the planning phases. It’s during this crucial period that a project starts to take form, where the budget is solidified and you can start to see your vision unfolding in front of you.
The planning process is particularly essential when it comes to architecture. For projects of all sizes, having a clear sense of where things are headed is vital to a project’s success. The first step in the construction of something visually striking is the development of a comprehensive plan, which is exactly what Design Services Plus Incorporated credits with our success in Silver Spring

FEASIBILITY STUDIES
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Designing a building is an exciting undertaking, but there are a number of practical things that must come before the construction phase actually begins. Before you dive in and start planning how you’re going to furnish your future home or office, performing a feasibility study is in order.
A feasibility study is an enormously important step in the construction of a new building, so selecting the right company for the job should not be a decision taken lightly. For a company that brings together years of experience with a keen eye for cutting edge design, Design Services Plus Incorporated is ideally positioned to carry out feasibility studies in Silver Spring.
ACCOMPLISHED
DYNAMIC ARCHITECTS
A feasibility study is a central part of building design and construction. Once a site has been chosen for the future structure, the study can begin. During this period, the site is thoroughly examined in order to determine whether or not it is a suitable place to construct the building.
Once the study is complete, those involved in the project can make a decision as to whether or not to proceed with that location in mind, based on the information that has been collected. Alternatively, if the study determines that a location is not suitable, the search can then begin for another site.
SITE SELECTION
Site selection is one of the most exciting phases in an architectural project, because it involves the scouting of locations and the decision of where to construct a building.
It is more complicated than simply choosing a location that is nice, however. Site selection requires a careful examination of different areas, factoring in many things beyond aesthetic appeal. As a result, you need to be fully confident in the skills of your architecture firm because, as the saying goes, location is everything.
CONSTRUCTION SPOTS
Design Services Plus Incorporated can scout out and expertly assess numerous sites for your construction project. We start by taking the time to learn the ins and outs of your project, familiarizing ourselves with every detail. By doing this, we can narrow our focus to sites that are ideally matched to what you wish to accomplish with the project.
The location of your building should be reflective of your needs and budget; we take the search seriously, because client satisfaction is the reason we started our architecture firm in the first place. Our aim is to exceed client expectations with our ability to find the perfect spot for any construction project.
PROGRAMMING
Every project has a starting point, where interested parties come together to talk about what needs to be done in order to complete the necessary work. In architecture, everything begins with the programming stage. Before a design is drafted, before materials are decided on, and before a site is chosen, the architect must sit down with the client to go over everything from start to finish.
Design Services Plus Incorporated is a highly respected architecture firm in Silver Spring, and has a strong track record of designing dynamic buildings for a diverse clientele. We are well-equipped to handle this phase, as well as any others in the design process.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN
When working with an architect, the first step is to meet with them and discuss your vision for the project. With Design Services Plus Incorporated, this step involves an exploration of your goals and needs for the building, two essential factors in determining how the rest of the project will proceed.
Once that has been completed, the next step is for our architects to create a schematic design, which is the first opportunity you will have to see your vision translated into something tangible. When Silver Spring is in need of expertly designed structures, they know to trust our talented architects; our ability to create accurate, reliable schematic designs is just another field we excel in.
WHAT IS
SCHEMATIC DESIGN?
Schematic design is part of the preliminary planning process, and takes place after you have met with a member of our team to discuss your project. During this phase, one of our architects will create a rendering of the proposed building, giving you a sense of how it will fit into the existing landscape.
The schematic design will also allow you to see how we have interpreted your vision, and allow you to make any changes to the design before we move forward with the next step.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
As the architectural process continues to move forward, our team will start developing concise designs for your project. It is during this phase that your vision will truly start to come to life, as we produce more detailed renderings of the building.
Design development is a crucial step in the construction of a building, so working with a trusted company is essential. Design Services Plus Incorporated is a well-regarded architectural firm in Silver Spring, with extensive experience in every aspect of the design process. We are ideal candidates for any building design project, no matter how big or small it may be.
WHAT IS
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT INVOLVE?
Following the schematic design phase, the architectural process moves towards design development. While the schematic design is the first look you’ll have at your new building, during design development you will start to see renderings of the structure that closely resemble what the building will look like, rather than the rougher sketches created for the schematic design.
This is also the point in which clients start to think about certain aspects of the building in greater detail. Will the floors be hardwood? Laminate? Which way will the windows and doors open? Will there be other design elements incorporated into the finished product? There is a lot to think about during this step, but Design Services Plus Incorporated’s experienced architects are here to help minimize any stress that surfaces.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Your home should fill you with a sense of calm. It should be a relaxing space where you can unwind, entertain and create memories. A home is likely the biggest investment you will make during your lifetime, so why settle for something that is anything short of perfect?
At Design Services Plus Incorporated, we view Silver Spring homes as blank canvases—they are fully customizable structures that can be molded to fit your specific tastes. Houses built from the ground up aren’t an option for everyone, but you don’t have to have a custom-built home to have a space that’s reflective of your style.

BUILDING CONDITION AUDITS
Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, being aware of your building’s condition is hugely important. A building condition audit is a powerful tool that can be used to draw attention to any structural issues, as well as help guide the company making repairs.
If your building is not up to code, you need to know, which means you need a trusted company to perform a detailed audit that clearly outlines what needs to be done. Design Services Plus Incorporated is a trusted, well established architecture firm in Silver Spring, and has extensive experience producing comprehensive audits of buildings of all size.
IMPORTANCE OF
AN AUDIT
As a building owner, you understand better than anyone the importance of occupant safety. It doesn’t matter if the occupants are your family, tenants or employees, their security is of the utmost importance.
Building condition audits are essential, because they can uncover things that are easily missed by the untrained eye. Using the information learned from an audit, our clients are able to make informed decisions regarding the future of their buildings.
