Renovate, add on, or start over?
Know what your property allows and what it costs, in two weeks.
A focused 10–14 day pre-design study that clarifies what's possible for your project, whether you're planning a new home, a renovation, or an addition. You'll understand your zoning constraints, budget realities, layout opportunities, and the most strategic path forward before committing to full design.
"The MVA paid for itself immediately by clarifying our budget. No surprises, the whole process felt calm."
K.A., Rockville, MD
Clarity before you commit to design
Four answers every homeowner needs before spending on full design.
Real budget numbers
A realistic construction budget aligned with your goals and current market conditions, so you know what's achievable before design begins.
Zoning & feasibility
A clear understanding of your property's constraints, setbacks, allowable square footage, and code requirements.
Scope & priorities
A refined project scope that identifies what matters most: layout, function, flow, and long-term value.
Recommended path forward
A clear, strategic recommendation for how to move forward, including scope, phasing, and the most efficient way to achieve your goals.

Fixed fee
This investment prevents costly surprises later in the process, often saving far more than its fee. The full $2,500 is credited toward your design fees if you move forward with us.
Common questions
Is the $2,500 fee credited to my project?
Yes. The full $2,500 is credited toward your design fees if you choose to move forward with us. If you don't, you keep everything we produced. Either way, it's a risk-free investment.
Am I obligated to hire RT Studio after the Review?
No. You own the analysis and can take it to any firm you choose. We're confident that once you see how we work, you'll want to continue with us, but that decision is entirely yours.
How long does the Review take?
It is completed in 10–14 business days from kickoff. That's enough time to do the work properly (site review, zoning analysis, budget research) without leaving you waiting.

Two weeks from now, you could know exactly what your property allows and what it will cost.
