Designing spaces that are beautiful, buildable, and brilliantly coordinated with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and civil engineering—that’s the core of our architectural design services. At Paragan Solutions LLC, we combine architecture with in‑house engineering expertise to deliver fully integrated, permit‑ready solutions for new construction, renovations, and tenant improvements. This multidisciplinary collaboration ensures seamless coordination across all building systems — reducing redesign cycles, minimizing RFIs, and accelerating project delivery.

Architectural design overview

Every project starts with understanding how you live, work, or operate—not just how the building should look. We translate your goals, budget, and constraints into clear design options, then develop them into coordinated documents that contractors can price and build with confidence.

Our team leads the process from early concepts through permitting and construction support, aligning architecture with structural integrity, building systems performance, and code compliance at every step.

Our architectural design services

Concept and schematic design

• Visioning and goals definition: Clarifying project objectives, priorities, and constraints.
• Conceptual layouts and massing: Initial floor plans, building form, and site relationships.
• Look & feel studies: Preliminary façade concepts, materials direction, and interior character.
• High‑level cost and feasibility input: Early alignment of scope, budget, and schedule.

Design development

• Refined floor plans and elevations: Detailed room layouts, adjacencies, and circulation.
• Building envelope design: Walls, roofs, glazing, shading, and thermal performance strategies.
• Interior architecture: Partitions, finishes, ceilings, lighting concepts, and key details.
• System coordination: Early integration with structural, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical design.

Construction documents

• Permit‑ready drawing sets: Code‑compliant architectural plans, elevations, sections, and details.
• Technical specifications: Materials, assemblies, and performance requirements for bidding and construction.
• Life safety and code plans: Egress, fire ratings, accessibility, and occupancy documentation.
• Coordination with engineering: Fully aligned architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing documents.

Site and space planning

• Site planning: Building placement, access, parking, loading, landscaping, and site circulation.
• Zoning and entitlement support: Setbacks, height limits, use restrictions, and local requirements.
• Space planning and test fits: Efficient layouts for offices, retail, residential, healthcare, and more.
• Future flexibility: Planning for growth, reconfiguration, and multi‑phase development.

Code, compliance, and permitting

• Building code analysis: IBC, local amendments, and applicable standards.
• Accessibility compliance: ADA and local accessibility requirements integrated into the design.
• Energy and performance standards: Coordination with energy codes and sustainability goals.
• Permitting support: Responses to plan review comments and revisions as needed.

Construction phase support

• Submittal and shop drawing review: Verifying alignment with design intent.
• Responses to RFIs: Clarifying details and resolving field questions quickly.
• Site observations (where applicable): Checking general conformance with the design documents.
• Change evaluation: Assessing design and cost impacts of proposed changes.

Markets we serve
