The best buildings begin with a dialogue between the architect, client, and consultants. The client's needs are assigned the highest priority. To initiate the building process, the team and client meet to develop programming and timelines, evaluate the site, environmental, and life cycle issues, and discuss budget and design character.
Establishing the Architectural Language and Material Standards
During the project's early stages, the architectural character and primary building materials are established. Designing within a broadly expressive range, we create buildings that solve problems and recognize the client's needs. We constantly search for the best materials and methods to realize our projects and evaluate alternative designs to ensure that we offer the best solutions.
Architectural Integration and Building Systems
Our buildings are technologically advanced, soundly constructed, and seamlessly integrated with contemporary complex and sophisticated infrastructures. Continuous coordination between designers, engineers, consultants, and other involved parties ensures that the client’s needs are being met throughout the project. Our and attention to detail is reflected first in the design process, then in the drawings and specifications, and throughout the construction period.
Cost Control Management
We accommodate the client's budget while providing the optimal value and utility per dollar expenditure. Long-term and short-term costs are evaluated to provide solutions that are durable and economical to maintain. Cost control management begins at a project's inception, and because costs are better managed when reviewed early, we recommend milestone estimates by professional estimators at the end of each phase.
