Services we provide
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.

Assist in establishing a budget based on the project program.
Schematic Design
Provide early sketches of space allocation (rooms) and circulation (corridors) based on the project program.
