Design & Services

We provide programming, schematic design, design development, construction drawings, specifications, and construction administration for our design projects.

This includes residential and small commercial; both new builds as well as new build-outs within existing spaces.

In addition to the design services offered for new projects, we can provide these services and as-built drawings for renovation & rehabilitation projects.

This includes residential and small commercial; both existing stand-alone buildings and build-outs.

Construction Administration (CA) is a standard service for any project designed by Cate Black, but we can also provide local CA services for projects being built in Galveston that were designed by other architects. As the local architect, we will oversee the project to ensure that it is built according to the construction documents.

CA services may include periodic site visits, reviewing material samples as needed, payment coordination with contractors, etc.

We provide consultations for a variety of services, ranging from verification of buildable square footage on beachfront lots (hint: it’s often not the whole lot), to project feasibility of addition/renovation work.
