Our Architectural Design Services are customized according to the distinctive objectives of each client and project. Our involvement and the extent of services we provide to the client will vary depending upon the unique parameters each project presents.

Our design orientation is constantly informed by our hands-on experience in construction and by our intimate understanding of construction methods. Key personnel in our firm have come to the design profession from a strong construction background.

We have also built some of our most successful projects with our own construction crews and management staff. For those projects which require it, we offer complete design and construction services. This ensures that the Owner's sensibilities and the project's design objectives are not compromised by the complexities of communication and the unpredictable nature of the construction industry.

As a rough guide, architectural services generally divide into the phases outlined below. The client may choose to contract with the architect for some or all of these phases.
