Our approach is focused on shaping positive environments while working collaboratively with our clients. We emphasize teamwork and communication to create spaces that fit the culture and context of each location.
Driven by our personalized and collaborative method, we begin our approach process by understanding the vision, objectives, and project goals. We work closely with our clients by establishing clear methods of communication. Through this, we can confirm the project needs, schedule, and budget.
Every place is unique, and we want to utilize those features to create an environment where communities can thrive and succeed in all aspects. By developing an understanding of the surrounding area, the people that make up the community, and those that will be impacted through various channels including conditions assessments, a review of as-built documents, and thorough building analysis, we can build a space that enhances the overall experience.
All projects start as a vision and a dream. Making that dream a reality is what we do. Through teamwork and collaborative meetings with our clients, we draft a variety of project ideas and processes, based on our research, creating initial concept sketches and exhibits, schematic designs, and visualizations.
Every project is a journey and we ensure we are there through every step. From design development of building systems, materials, and finishes to documentation of detailed drawings and specifications, submission and approval from AHJ, and even assisting with bidding, we hone our expertise and experience to create a successful project process.
Sustainability is at the core of our process, enhancing the performance of both infrastructure and operations. We approach each project with a commitment to uncovering solutions that prioritize energy efficiency, meet programming needs, utilize sustainable materials, and balance aesthetics with low operating and maintenance costs. Guided by our LEED Certified professionals, we weave sustainability into every aspect of our design, ensuring that your vision is transformed into a reality and stands the test of time.
With three decades of guiding projects from conception through completion, we understand the importance of solution-oriented construction administration. Through construction evaluation, a review/response for contractor-provided documents, on-site job walks, and coordination with all parties, our team will lead the pursuit of project execution and success.
Having a dream and vision is an important step in the early stages of the process, and we are excited to assist you in turning your dreams into a tangible reality. Once a project passes the final phase, completion documents are delivered to the AHJ, and coordination with the contractor and IOR is complete, it is now time to celebrate by opening the project to the community!
