It starts with a dream, a piece of land, a budget, and the intention to build. Whether you are in San Francisco, Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo or anywhere in California, the architect's services are roughly the same. The time and cost to obtain a building permit, however, can be vastly different. To keep your finances and your sanity intact, you should have a strong understanding of the design and building PROCESS.

DNM Architect is a San Francisco based architecture firm offering a complete range of services from planning and programming through design, documentation and construction administration. With equal experience in architectural practice and technology, the firm uses intelligent 3D CAD software, to communicate with clients, translate early designs seamlessly into construction documents and manage design changes without disrupting the building process. The firm's approach not only improves the final design, but produces final drawings faster and more accurately than more traditional methods.

The firm advocates green, sustainable, energy-efficient building materials and methods as a means to cut the energy required to build and operate buildings. The firm offers computerized energy analysis (sometimes called T24) for all of its projects as a part of its basic design services.

DNM Architect also offers training and consulting on Ecotect energy analysis software and Green Building Studio. We offer custom trainng sessions at your firm for beginners to experts. We can also provide energy modeling for your projects using Ecotect, EnergyPro and Green Building Studio. Please contact us for a proposal tailored to your needs.
