SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, December 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sven Lavine Architecture has fully integrated a front-loaded feasibility process across all residential projects, delivering completed projects ahead of industry timelines. The firm principal notes that adoption of this new feasibility process has decreased design fees by 20%, driving a 230% increase in new client adoption and satisfaction.

Standard architectural practice involves extensive programming and design work before clients receive firm budget numbers or understand code constraints – often resulting in costly redesigns when codes and programs conflict. Sven Lavine Architecture's approach inverts this sequence.

"This new process essentially moves the hard questions to the beginning," explains principal Sven Lavine. "Before putting pencil to paper on design work, clients understand their site constraints, multiple scope options, and realistic cost projections. Production delays and permit uncertainties scares many homeowners. This new process brings enhanced clarity."

The firm's Feasibility Study, now standard for all new projects, combines site analysis, code research, and construction cost modeling developed through analysis of comparable projects. The result is budget accuracy within 5%, assuming stable future construction costs.

Lavine also notes that “Our use of cutting-edge design technology creates calculable and buildable precision right from the very start. This resolves common client pain points such as timeline and cost uncertainties with their project.

The approach represents a fundamental reframing of what the initial consultation should accomplish. Rather than discussing aesthetic preferences or design possibilities, early conversations focus on constraints: lot limitations, code requirements, phasing strategies, and financial thresholds. Design exploration follows only after establishing a realistic scope clients can confidently pursue.

Sven also notes that with regard to building custom homes in San Francisco, there are fundamentally no available lots for ground-up new construction. The firm’s streamlined feasibility process safeguards against any negative pushback from neighborhood concerns, neighbor preferences and considerations, as well as historic preservation.
