1.0 Executive Summary

NW Architecture will be an architectural firm specializing in residential, commercial and

industrial architecture in domestic and international markets based out of the Bay Area near
San Francisco, California. The firm will provide architectural services using technologically
superior processes, providing greater value for clients and enhanced design and construction.

The target client is segmented into four categories; home owners, developers, government, and
contractors. NW Architecture's competitive edge will be the knowledge of digital-based design
resources. Superior customer service will also be a point of firm differentiation.

First year sales are expected to reach $102,000 and increase to $500,000 by the third year of
operation. We will be profitable within three years of starting.

The most significant challenges ahead include securing a suitable location, establishing the
initial client base, and ultimately positioning the firm to be able to have a presence in a larger,
global market.

This business plan outlines the objective, focus, and implementation of this start-up firm.

1.1 Mission

NW Architecture offers a new type of digital interactive media for both the client and the
builder. This media will clearly show the client and the builder exactly what the design will look
like and the method of construction.

With this new form of media the client doesn't have to know anything about architectural
graphics or terminology (floor plans, sections, elevations & construction documents) to have a
clear understanding of what the end result will look like. This is possible through the use of
computer-rendered images and interactive video.

This media will be taken one step further by using it in the construction documents as well. The
builder will be provided with an interactive video rendering of the entire building containing
both visual photographic quality images and construction specs. Every last detail will be worked
out in three dimensions in such a way that anyone who knows how to use a computer will be
able to access and understand this new means of architectural presentation.

1.2 Keys to Success

1. Provide a service that is technologically superior to the competition's.

2. Utilizing a diverse staff of architects to provide a wide variety of product styles.
3. A large array of global connections.

1.3 Objectives

1. Sales of $500,000 in Year 3 and $700,000 by Year 4.

2. Market expansion of 20% per year via the Internet.
3. Creating new niche in market by Year 4 of three dimensional construction documents and
interactive digital presentation to clients.

2.0 Company Summary

NW Architecture will provide a service of architectural design via digital media to the limits of
technology. This approach will offer optimal efficiency to the firm and superior value, design
processes, and construction methods to the client.

2.1 Company Ownership

NW Architecture will be created as a California corporation based in the Bay Area near San
Francisco. It will be owned by its principal investor and operator, Nathan Sawyer.

along with making it affordable for middle and upper socioeconomic classes.

3.1 Service Description

In order for NW Architecture to provide this new innovative service of digital media, the
company will use high speed computers running programs such as AutoCad and Form-Z. To
keep up with changes in technology, NW Architecture will investigate all up and coming
software related to digital 3-D design to stay at the forefront of the market.  Again, this is a key
strategic component to differentiate the firm and to optimize productivity and efficiency.

NW Architecture will provide it's service to home owners who are looking to remodel, as well
as developers, contractors and government agencies in the domestic and international markets.

operation.

4.2 Service Business Analysis

The architecture business across the country is primarily made up of small- to mid-sized firms
specializing in a particular architectural type. But there are also a few large firms that have
almost dominated the design of large commercial and industrial facilities.  NW Architecture's
main competitors will be the larger firms.  The reason for this is that the larger firms have more
capital to work with, which enables them to keep up with technological changes much quicker

11 12
than a small firm.

5.1.1 Sales Forecast

Sales are broken down into three categories: design, production, and construction. These three
categories put together make up one architecture project. The totals for each project are based
on a 10% cut from the total construction costs of each job. The following table and chart
provides an overview of our forecast sales.  Actual sales could vary depending on the project
size and budget.

5.2 Competitive Edge

This company will have a competitive edge over both the larger and smaller firms because it
will be composed of the new generation of architects which are fluent in the digital world. Many
firms today employ an older generation of architects which find the computer a mystery, and
those that do use the computer only have the ability to design in 2-D.

6.0 Management Summary

This company will start with one AutoCAD/Form-Z architect and the founder. In August of 2007,
a clerical position will be added. By 2010, Other CAD/Form-Z architects will be hired to
compensate the increased work load.

6.1 Personnel Plan

The following table summarizes our personnel expenditures for the first three years of
operation.

7.0 Financial Plan

NW Architecture will increase growth and technology with cash flow as it increases through the
years. Further money will be set aside to pay for further consulting as needed.
