At DOSALA, every project is organized into clear, structured phases to ensure efficiency, transparency, and high-quality results. Our internal workflow is fast, responsive, and highly coordinated across all phases. (Dowload PDF PHASES).

During these phases we move extremely quickly, often exceeding typical industry timelines.

However, it is important for our clients to understand that Phase 5 – Plan Check Processing is the only phase that is entirely dependent on external agencies, primarily the City and its reviewing departments.

Once plans are submitted, the timeline is controlled by the City’s internal procedures, which often involve:

• Multiple departmental reviews

• Extensive bureaucracy

• Increasingly complex building, zoning, and environmental (“green”) regulations

• Limited staffing and long response times

While we actively manage this phase on your behalf—responding to corrections, coordinating consultants, and resubmitting documents promptly—we do not have control over how quickly the City reviews or approves plans. Delays during this phase are common and unfortunately unavoidable, regardless of how well a project is prepared.

These extended review times can understandably be frustrating. We want to assure you that such delays are not a reflection of the quality of your project or our work, but rather a reality of the current permitting environment in many cities.

Our commitment is to:

• Prepare complete and code-compliant drawings

• Respond quickly and thoroughly to City comments

• Advocate for your project at every step

• Keep you informed and transparent throughout the process

We share our clients’ hope that permitting processes will become more efficient in the future. Until then, our role is to navigate this system as effectively as possible while protecting your project’s integrity and long-term value.

We truly appreciate your patience and trust during this phase, and we remain fully committed to bringing your project to life.

Yes, our firm collaborates with some prestigious GCs. We can suggest some of them.

Hiring an Architectural and Interior Design Firm is the best way to ensure that every project is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional, accurate, and fully aligned with the client’s lifestyle. Our role goes far beyond decoration — we analyze space, circulation, lighting, ergonomics, and materials to create environments that are beautiful, efficient, and timeless.

While General Contractors (GCs) are essential for executing construction, their expertise is focused on building methods, scheduling, and cost control. When it comes to finishes, textures, and furniture, they often select generic options because design is not their specialty. As a result, projects without professional design input can lack character, consistency, and comfort.

That is why we recommend developing the entire project — architecture + interior design — through our firm. This integrated process guarantees:

• Design harmony between structure, finishes, and furniture.

• Functionality and comfort tailored to the client’s needs.

• Precision and documentation that reduce costly mistakes during construction.

• Long-term value in both property and quality of life.

To better serve our clients, we offer different levels of Interior Design plans, allowing flexibility depending on lifestyle and investment goals:

• Basic Plan.

• Comfort Plan

• Ultra Luxury Plan

By combining architectural expertise with tailored interior design, we deliver complete projects that feel refined, functional, and unique.

We represent the client’s best interest

During construction, the architect stands as the client’s professional advocate, ensuring contractors, engineers, and city officials respect the agreed design, quality standards, and budget.

At DOSALA, we want our clients to know we’re not on the other side of the table — we’re on your side. Our job is to protect your interests, guide you through complex codes and permits, and make sure your investment is safe. Think of us as your project’s advocate — like a lawyer who defends your vision, time, and resources.

We work hand-in-hand with you, your builder, and consultants to reach the best possible outcome: a project that is beautiful, functional, and built right. When challenges appear, we stand with you to find smart solutions. Your success is our success — we’re all in the same boat, steering toward the same goal: a home or space you’ll truly love.
