The company’s 77 year history is your assurance that a single point of contact can be a good faith partner through the complexities of the design and construction process. A Design-Build approach focuses the architect’s efforts on solutions that are cost effective and allows value engineering to start from day one. Knowing which architects can provide innovative, timely and competitive professional services is critical. To develop a preliminary design, the owner’s needs must be systematically written down. Filling out a Commercial/Industrial Program Outline is the first step in that process.

In the current climate of tightening budgets, quality control standards, and ever-increasing regulations, Value Engineering (VE) is a service that helps owners maximize their project’s value. For construction projects, VE utilizes a multi-disciplined team that is independent of the original design group. Early application of VE methodology uses this team in a concentrated effort to identify the basic required functions of the facility, to seek feasible alternatives, and to develop selected alternatives and prove their feasibility. We present these selected alternatives to the client in a way that will maximize successful implementation of the alternatives, and optimize functionality, cost, and value of the facility.
