As the Owner, you bring bring a great deal to your project: resources, knowledge, experience, needs, desires, aspirations, as well as biases..........
 

Every owner starts in a different place. It makes sense to assess what you already know, and establish, with your Team, the process that will help you think through the seemingly overwhelming questions about your project, such as:

 

  • What activities do you expect to have in the project? Do you have a 'Program'? Are you ready to translate these activities into specific spaces and square footages?
  • What are your design aspirations? What thought have you given to the design quality you are seeking?
  • How bold do you expect to be? Do you wish to use design and technology to achieve new goals?
  • How much experience do you have in design and building? Have you done this before? Were you successful or were you disappointed?


 "....We will provide the most effective services for your project.

 

We know that your project is very important to you - we are accountable to you. You will have our committment to make every effort to bring about a successful project for you...."

 

 

 

This is what is going to happen when you work with us.......

 

Experience has shown us that successful projects - those that achieve the desired results for our clients - result from informed clients working with an experienced and skilled architect to form sound working relationships nourished by clear communication. Our collaboration with clients is integral to our project process every step of the way. You will have constant access to your project as it is developed via our secure, password protected Workspace always available to you on the Web using your existing Internet browser. We believe in our clients' desire to be informed by our deep expertise on their project. We believe in our clients' ability to be the best critic of their own project. It is because of our clients that we employ 'active listening'. It is only because of our valued clients collaborating with us that we can be part of creating a better, sustainable, built environment.

 

This is what some clients have said after working with us.......

 

 

Residential clients are often the least experienced in the construction process. This is simply due to the fact that they are often 'first time' builders. Read what James Allison had to say about his experience with us.

 Commercial projects are often focused on the 'bottom line'. We like to think that we contribute more to the value of a project than what it costs to retain. Read what Mr. Frank Gates, a contractor, had to say about the cost of having us involved with a project.

Institutional clients often have unique challenges. They often require unique facilities to be able to function. Read what Mr. Charles Hayes had to say about the creative solutions we designed to meet the challenges of his institution.
