Services
Architectural Design & Coordination
Our architectural design process begins with collaborative workshops to understand client goals and project requirements. We create concept designs that balance aesthetic vision with functional needs while maintaining budget constraints. The team develops detailed construction documents that serve as the foundation for bidding and building processes.
Healthcare Facility Planning
Specializing in healthcare architecture, we design facilities that meet strict regulatory standards while prioritizing patient care environments. Our experience includes assisted living centers, behavioral health units, and tribal medical facilities. We address unique challenges in healthcare infrastructure through specialized planning and code compliance expertise.
Sustainable Design Solutions
We integrate LEED-certified practices into our designs to create energy-efficient, environmentally responsible buildings. Our approach considers climate impact, material sustainability, and long-term operational efficiency. This includes optimizing natural lighting, implementing water conservation systems, and using eco-friendly construction materials.
Construction Contract Administration
Our services extend beyond design to include construction phase support. We provide contract administration that ensures adherence to design specifications and budget parameters. This includes site visits, contractor coordination, and addressing field issues to maintain project integrity throughout the building process.
Facility Condition Assessments
We conduct comprehensive evaluations of existing facilities to determine their suitability for continued use or renovation. Our assessments identify structural integrity, code compliance, and maintenance needs. This service helps clients make informed decisions about facility upgrades or redevelopment projects.
