Our consulting services support your firm's design intent.
Working with architecture firms for the past eight years, we provide architectural specifications and project manuals, cost estimating, product and material research, and project and document review. We also produce baseline specifications for owners, industry groups and manufacturers for use by other design professionals.
Proactive engagement with our clients during design and detailing stages is how we improve the process, through the questions we ask and coordination we encourage. We help guide inquiry and reveal opportunities via our document coordination reviews. Combining a standard series of regular, focused review meetings, along with online and interactive coordination tools, allows us to remain aligned with the design team throughout all phases of design, documentation, bidding and construction.
