Feasibility Studies
Analyze the client's budget, needs and goals to determine the feasibility
of maintaining or renovating an existing structure compared to constructing
a new building or an addition.
Master Development Plans
Develop a master plan for the overall use of the site that can be
sequenced into phases as the budget permits. Each project phase
can be advanced according to this overall development plan.
Site Evaluation
Study various sites to evaluate soil conditions, topography, utilities
(including sewer, water, electrical, telephone and cable) and other
geological studies.
Project Programming
Work with the client to establish a program to determine the type,
number and size of various rooms required for a complete project.
Project Budgeting
Assist in establishing a budget based on the project program.
 3-Dimensional Visualizations
and Graphic Solutions
Produce 3-dimensional computer animations, hand-drawn and/or computer
generated perspective renderings, architectural models and other
materials to assist in visually understanding the aesthetic direction
of a project throughout the design process.
Schematic Design
Provide early sketches of space allocation (rooms) and circulation
(corridors) based on the project program.
Design Development
Produce design development drawings providing greater detail than
those of the schematic phase. From this information, an accurate
cost estimate can be established to compare with the budget.
Construction Documents
Provide contract documents including drawings and specifications
to be used for the construction of the project.
Bidding
Supply contractors with the contract documents for competitive bidding.
Upon receiving the bids, assist the client in evaluating the bids
to make selections.
Construction Observation
Observe the construction to verify that the contractor is supplying
and installing materials in accordance with the specifications and
intent of the drawings.
Code Compliance and Analysis
Review an existing or new facility to ensure compliance with municipal,
state and federal codes.
Interior Team
Provide space planning, finish selections and finish coordination.
Extended services range from preparing furniture specifications
to placing artwork.
Design Team
A contractor is added to the design team early in the design. The
construction price is negotiated and refined throughout the design
process with input from all team members.
Architectural Signage & Graphic Systems
Design not only the highly visible exterior signs for a building
but also the interior directional signs and illustrations complying
with the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. We have even
designed a special "Bio-board" for use in Alzheimer’s
care.
