Integrated Outdoor Services
Depending on your needs, we offer Design Services and Pre-Construction Services, or a combination of both. Each service can be hired independently or bundled together to support your project from concept through city/county approval.
Design Services
Our Design Services focus on layout, functionality, and visual clarity, helping you define your project before any construction decisions are made.
Design Services Include:
Design services may be provided on their own or serve as the foundation for pre-construction and permitting.
Concept Design & Layout Planning
Functional layouts tailored to your property, usage goals, and budget
3D Design & Renderings
Multiple photorealistic 3D renderings to visualize materials, elevations, and overall design. When required, renderings can also support the permitting and approval process.
Pre-Construction Services
Our Pre-Construction & Permitting Services are designed for projects that require city/county approvals, technical documentation, or regulatory coordination before construction begins.
Pre-Construction Services Include:
Pre-construction services can be provided with or without design services, depending on project needs.
Site Plans & Permit Documentation
Preparation of detailed site plans based on your property survey, clearly showing existing conditions and proposed improvements.
Permitting & City Coordination
Direct coordination with planning, zoning, engineering, and environmental departments on your behalf.
Engineering & Technical Coordination
Assistance coordinating required structural, civil, drainage, or retaining wall engineering drawings when applicable.
Survey & Documentation Support
Guidance on required surveys, reports, and documentation needed to meet local jurisdiction requirements.
Pre-Construction Feasibility Review
Early identification of zoning constraints, environmental buffers, and technical considerations that impact feasibility, scope, or cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are these Design & Pre-Construction Services for?
These services are designed for homeowners who want to plan and build the right way.
They are ideal for clients who value proper planning and full compliance with city and county regulations, and who want a clear, structured process before construction begins. This includes homeowners who want to ensure their project is feasible, properly permitted, and aligned with zoning, engineering, and environmental requirements.
These services are for homeowners wanting to protect their investment.
Do I have to hire BMG for construction if I use your design or pre-construction services?
No. Our Design Services and Pre-Construction Services are offered as standalone, professional services. There is no obligation to move forward with BMG for construction after completing these phases. If you choose to proceed with construction, we’re happy to provide pricing and execute the project.
Can I hire only design services without permitting or pre-construction?
Yes. Design services can be hired independently and are ideal if you want layout planning, concept development, or 3D renderings without moving into permitting or construction.
Can I hire pre-construction and permitting services without design?
Yes. If you already have a design or concept, we can assist with site plans, permitting, city coordination, and engineering support without providing design services.
What types of projects typically require pre-construction and permitting services?
Projects involving retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, structures, grading, drainage, or work within zoning or environmental constraints typically require permits and technical documentation. Local requirements vary by city and county, and we help identify what applies to your specific property.
Do you provide engineering drawings?
BMG does not perform engineering in-house, but we coordinate with licensed engineers when engineering drawings are required. We manage the process to ensure plans align with the design, site conditions, and city requirements.
Do I need a survey before starting?
In most cases, yes. Many cities require a current survey for permit approval. If you don’t already have one, we can guide you on the type of survey needed and help coordinate the process.
How long does the design and permitting process take?
Timelines vary based on project complexity and city review processes. Design services typically move faster, while permitting timelines depend on jurisdiction response times. We provide realistic expectations and manage the process to avoid unnecessary delays.
How much do design and pre-construction services cost?
Pricing depends on project scope, complexity, and permitting requirements. Design services, site plans, city coordination, and engineering coordination are typically priced based on the level of effort involved. We provide clear pricing upfront before any work begins.
Can 3D renderings be used for permits?
In some cases, yes. While 3D renderings are primarily for visualization, they can support permit submissions when required by the city. Final permitting decisions are always based on technical drawings and site plans.
Why should I invest in design and pre-construction before getting a construction price?
Design and pre-construction help define scope, identify constraints, and clarify requirements before construction begins. This leads to more accurate pricing, fewer surprises, and a smoother construction process overall.
Is this service only for large projects?
No. Design and pre-construction services can be valuable for projects of all sizes, especially when permits, technical coordination, or site constraints are involved.
When is the best time to start design or pre-construction services?
The earlier, the better. Starting before committing to construction allows you to make informed decisions, avoid redesigns, and move forward with confidence.
A Smarter Way to Build
By addressing design and permitting upfront — separately or together — we help:
- Reduce approval risks and delays
- Avoid costly mid-project changes
- Establish realistic scope and budgets
- Create a smoother, more predictable construction process
Plan First. Build with Confidence.
Whether you need design clarity, permitting support, or both, BMG provides the expertise to move your project forward with confidence.

Pricing & How These Services Work
Our Design Services and Pre-Construction Services are offered as standalone, professional services and may be contracted independently or bundled together.
Fees vary based on project scope, complexity, and city requirements.
There is no obligation to proceed with BMG for construction after completing these services. However, once design and approvals are clearly defined, we can provide accurate construction pricing and seamlessly carry the project through execution if desired.
