Our team of architects, designers, and planners has extensive experience with private and public sector projects with emphasis on real estate investment and similar fast-paced, challenging development projects. This includes staff members with significant construction management backgrounds. While we’re comfortable with all project delivery approaches, we prefer Team Build for the benefits it provides, and are accustomed to tailoring our contracts on a project-by-project basis.

With emphasis on local, sustainable, and biophilic design solutions, we create spaces that enhance your team’s work life, support your brand identity, and deliver lasting quality and performance.

These services are tailored to objectively vet your project’s potential, provide initial illustrations that capture the project vision, set a project budget and timeline, and identify risks. Our goal is to pinpoint profitability issues before you invest time and money in design, permitting, and construction costs. Once we outline a project’s benefits and potential value, we create the most appropriate plan for your project and your stakeholders. PERMITTING Design, permitting, and construction administration are included in our Group 2 services. These services are only available after we’ve conducted a thorough feasibility review of your project and ownership has decided to move forward.

This establishes accountability, keeps your development on track, and allows us to provide accurate real-time updates and cost projections throughout the project. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Efficiency requires strong coordination. That’s why our tracking methods mirror those used by the general contractors we work with, allowing us to stay on top of changes and solve problems faster.
