Jazz has a professional relationship with many architects, civil enginers, structural engineers, landscape architects and planning consultants.  To provide optimum results we recommend the design firm most suitable for the intended architecture, either in house or a third party design firm. If the architecture firm has already been chosen, we work as a team member alongside the architect. 

We provide contract review and design coordination ensuring that the owner's design criteria and budget are adhered to during the design phase of the project.  Coordination between the design professionals ensures that the final design represents the owner's desires and that each consultant's design work is compatible with the plans prepared by the project's other consutlants.

Every project in California is subject to approval by the local jurisdiction for compliance with local laws, ordinances and policies including environmental review, prior to the issuance of building permits. This may be as simple as an administrative review and approval by a City planner, or may require a process of much greater complexity subject to the discretion of elected officials. Jazz has extensive experience in working cooperatively with neighborhood groups,  local officials,  and city staff on the following types of approvals:

Architectural & Design Review

Parcel & lot splits

Building Permits
Final Maps
Rezoning
General & Precise Plan Amendments
Vesting Tentative Maps
Planned Unit Developments
