Our Process

A clear design + build path from first conversation to key handover.

The process now carries from design and pre-construction planning into partner-delivered construction, with Tropical Tides maintaining design intent, performance targets, and client clarity throughout.

Project rhythm

A phase-aware path with clear deliverables.

Phase 01

Discovery + Fit

We discuss site, budget, schedule, family rhythms, design goals, and performance expectations.

Phase 02

Formal Site Analysis

Clients receive a written deliverable covering flood zone classification, wind exposure category, view corridors, shade, lot orientation, and applicable regulatory or historic constraints.

Phase 03

Concept Design

Massing, floor plan direction, exterior language, and early performance strategy are explored together.

Phase 04

Design Development

Plans, renderings, assemblies, materials, and systems become more specific and coordinated.

Phase 05

Documentation

The design is translated into coordinated drawings, specifications, and partner-ready information.

Phase 06

Partner Build Coordination

Licensed construction partners execute the work while Tropical Tides protects the design intent and standard.

Ready for the first phase

Solve complexity early, then protect that clarity through the build.

Start with a structured design inquiry and we will help determine the right next step.
