Design Development and Construction Documents
This service is a systematic approach to communicating solutions defined in pre-design and schematic design in a manner that skilled and talented craftsmen and women can construct them and that officials will approve. Our clients benefit from technically accurate documentation suitable for a wide range of project delivery approaches.
Allow us to help you translate that vision into documents and materials that limit risk without losing sight of that very vision.
Bidding and Negotiation
There are numerous existing project delivery models, or rather, different ways to accomplish the physical construction of a project. Functionally, when are these skilled craftsmen and craftswomen retained and become an integral part of the process?
Allow us to help participate in the process of retaining the best individuals to complete the team; for without them, the vision is incomplete.
Construction Administration
These services include a wide range of opportunities to help you navigate the construction process. Minimally, we are required to provide construction observation frequently enough for us to testify to the code compliance of the structure as it relates to your responsibility to obtain an occupancy permit. However, we offer comprehensive construction administration and services normally expected of our public clients.
Allow us to be an integral and active part of the construction team. Give us the opportunity to help you realize your vision.
Consulting
Numerous years of providing services to clients with multiple building inventories, we have developed special skill sets and expertise in certain subject matters. Active and past clients include other design professionals, building owners, and contractors. These subject matters include historic preservation, building envelope technology, and security design. We have been specially recognized for our work with historic structures by the AIA.
Allow us to share this knowledge and expertise with you, as we have done for a wide variety of client types.
