OUR SERVICES
Our staff of professionals embody the crucial attributes required to serve our clients in excellence:
IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROJECT TYPES WE SERVICE
Our vast experience with retail & restaurants includes speciality retail, and retail developments ranging from those with restaurants integrated within the developments to stand-alone restaurants. Retail and restaurant design include both prototype and custom designed establishments.
We are especially skilled and experienced in church planning and design. We know churches! We know how they function, flow, and program out [i.e., church sizing and number & arrangement of spaces]. Our church planning and design process begins by spending time with our clients to better understand a church’s own unique character, goals, and mission and to collect important statistical data to program and size required spaces.
We also have extensive experience in designing medical facilities, from general practitioner to renovations within existing hospitals.
Our vast background with educational facilities includes both private and public schools from daycare/preschools to community colleges.
We are especially adept at repurposing older buildings that are considered outdated. Visit our Restoration page
We also have expertise in designing corporate offices and light industrial spaces’ with experience ranging from corporate offices to flex office shell buildings with associated tenants.
RELEVANT DESIGN ABILITIES AND 3D MODELING
All of our building design is created via 3D Modeling. This assists a building owner in envisioning the project early on in the planning stages. Our 3D Modeling approach provides additional advantages for our clients.
Client are afforded a realistic view of what their building will look like. Once created, developing alternative finishes and material selection become much easier because they can see what their options will look like.
Our modeling capabilities are topographically real which allows an owner to observe the visibility of their building from any vantage point. From a marketing perspective, this is a significant advantage. An owner can present their building for marketing purposes well in advance to construction. The 3D design renderings we provide our clients can be an effective tool for capital campaigns services for non-profits; allow banks to see what they’re funding at a loan closing.; and aid owners who lease buildings in fully leasing prior to construction.
PROFICIENCY in CONSTRUCTIBILITY
Constructibility is the ability to take a great design that’s been developed and make it buildable. Larry Schaeffer, Principal in Charge, started in the construction industry in 1977. With over 40 years in the construction/design industry, his firm possesses a great wealth of detailing and constructibility experience. Knowledge and experience in efficiently constructing buildings is crucial.
