Missoula, Montana — architecture and permit drawings
Bracket & Beam designs new homes, additions and remodels, commercial tenant improvements, 3D renderings and permit drawings for clients building in Missoula.
01 — Scope
Before the first call we ask what you’re building and what the site will allow. It saves a lot of walking back down the hill later — and it means the first meeting starts at scope and budget instead of introductions.
A new home, an addition or a remodel, or a commercial tenant improvement. Say it plainly — even a rough version. Knowing the project type tells us which drawings, which approvals and which sequence you’ll be walking through.
New build · Addition · Remodel · Tenant improvement
Where the property is, how it slopes and drains, how you get onto it, and what’s already built there. If you own the land, bring the address. If you’re still looking, bring what you’re hoping to find.
Location · Slope · Access · Existing structures
Timelines, a household that needs to keep living in the house, a business that can’t close, a lender waiting on drawings. Constraints aren’t obstacles — they’re the shape of the route.
Timeline · Occupancy · Financing · Review
02 — Budget
Nobody can price a project before the site has been read. What we can do is show you what moves the number, so your range and our scope meet in the same place on the first call. Massing and materials are the two biggest levers, and we test both early.
Square footage, ceiling heights, and how far a roof or floor has to span without support. Structure is quiet in a drawing and loud in a budget.
Slope, soils, drainage, utilities, and how a crew and a delivery truck actually reach the work. Mountain-town sites write their own line items.
Standard assemblies versus custom millwork, steel, and one-off detailing — plus the drawing and permit scope that keeps it all buildable.
03 — Services
The work between the first sketch and a permit-ready drawing set. Most projects use some combination of these — you don’t need to know which ones yet.
New homes, from reading the site and testing the massing through to a set of drawings a builder can price and build.
Working with what’s already standing — more room, better light, and a plan that finally fits the way you live.
Interior build-outs for Missoula businesses, coordinated with your landlord’s requirements and your opening date.
See the building before it exists — exterior and interior studies that make decisions easier for families, boards and lenders.
A complete, code-aware drawing set prepared for city and county review, so the paperwork doesn’t stall the build.
Start with a consultation. We’ll work out the scope together and tell you what the project actually requires.
