The needs assessment is a fundamental step in discovering the vital issues of the buildings program, scope of work, and current and/or future needs. Completion of the assessment will effectively dictate staff/ building planning and future renovations for many years to come. We have completed needs assessments serving as a foundation to design planning and budget for municipal facilities in a vast range of types, needs, and sizes. 

We render buildings and spaces to convey to our clients and the surrounding community vivid 3-dimensional characteristics of the proposed design from schematic design to design development. 

We have a wealth of experience scheduling and phasing projects for design and construction, including for existing facilities, many which allow for continuous occupancy during construction.

We work closely with the client developing ideas and the program to ensure that the design from beginning to end is an expression of the client’s needs and budget while having the design enhance connectivity within the surrounding community. 

Our office provides precise construction document work, often leading to minimal change orders resulting in projects that have a high likelihood on time and on budget. 

During construction, there could be added value in spotting solutions that can improve the building and save costs which results in change orders during construction. We would be there to rectify the situation and clarify this with the client and the team to ensure the project remains on schedule and on budget.  

In order to ensure quality, we recommend being retained for construction administration. We are there to verify that the building meets the design intent, quality, as well as code and energy issues as depicted on the construction documents. 

We have a wealth of experience in orchestrating consultants and the team to ensure integrity remains in the function and intent of design throughout the process.
