How Does This Service Work?

Start your next project right with Feature Walters’ comprehensive design assist process!

Step 1: Project Calibration

Upon reviewing the project manual provided with the bid, we meet with the client, architect, and engineer to understand the design concept and project requirements thoroughly. We want to bring your visions to life, as such this initial step ensures we align with our clients’ objectives for the project.

Step 2: Design Development

Our detailing and engineering team transforms your initial design ideas into detailed 3D models and drawings, making them ready to convert to fabrication drawings at the end of the DA process.

Step 3: Review and Collaboration

We maintain weekly meetings to ensure open communication and project alignment. Each client is assigned a dedicated Project Manager as their primary point of contact. Our team continues facilitating ongoing reviews of the 3D model and progress discussions.

Step 4: Final Review and Project Handoff

We conduct a final model review with our client, discussing project priorities and next steps, including potential continued involvement by Feature Walters.

Step 5: Fabrication

Leveraging our detailed planning from the design assist phase, we can efficiently transition to the fabrication process. All our projects are crafted at our 50,000-square-foot fabrication facility in Princeton, Ontario.

Step 6: Installation

Our full-service approach includes coordinating delivery and installation. Collaborating with Walters Group and Metropolitan Walters, we ensure extensive and safe installation services across North America.
