Approach:
Team
Organization
-
Our team includes the consultants plus the users,
building management, and buildiong maintenance staff throughout
the design process. We make sure the project responds to
all stakeholders ideas and details of design.
The
important elements of our approach are nothing new, just
a logical progression of specific work elements
organized to flow smoothly through the process of
analysis, design, and construction. Throughout, the
process is the continuing need for communication, asking
questions, and carefully considering the responses so
that not only the overall concept but the small details
respond directly to the needs of the users.
Define the Scope of Work.
Programming and Predesign Study are used to identify the
specific space and functional requirements, and suggested
approaches. Our team evaluates the alternatives in
terms of good function, maintenance, and life-cycle
costs, while looking at the impact of the project on the
neighbors.
