TECHNICAL HELP FOR ARCHITECTS
We offer technical expertise to architects, engineers and building managers who need help with a design in progress, a building in construction, or an existing building.
DURING DESIGN
We can evaluate the constructability of a building and suggest alternatives that are simpler to build and less expensive. Input can be in the form of generalized advice, hands-on guidance, or thorough coordination and detaiing. We can work with you and your engineers to arrive at a better building.
DURING CONSTRUCTION
We can help to mitigate the impact of light documentation and the resulting charges by contractors. By understanding the rules of the game, we can minimize the charges that they try to extract. And by anticipating conflicts, we can help minimize them.
ON EXISTING BUILDINGS
We have years of experience in renovations and repair work. We can help you to diagnose problems with roofs, building envelopes and interiors and then help work out a solution to the problem.
