We endeavor to provide professional architectural services of the highest standards. We at all times ensure that our clients are well represented, have access to one of our founding partners, and have all the available information presented to them before a decision is made. We provide our clients with economically feasible, technologically and environmentally sound facilities via the use of state of the art hardware and software programs that enhance our services and projects that we work on. We provide detailed documentation throughout our projects, from initial client contact through design and construction document phase, contract preparation, construction administration and project close out. We also require similar comprehensive documentation from the General Contractor.

PARTICIPATION OF THE FOUNDING PARTNERS
Our Firm and the direct involvement of one of the founding partners in every project, this ensures that the total professional resources of our organization will be available to you, starting with a partner. A project manager will also be assigned to each and every project, his duties is to assist the partner in the managing of the project and the consultants.

SINGLE SOURCE OF RESPONSIBILITY
We believe the Owner should have a single source of responsibility; Architecture Studio will be that source, coordinating the efforts of the different consultants including mechanical (HVAC), electrical, plumbing, communications, interior design, landscape architecture, home automation as well as structural. Our projects are coordinated, concise and integrated.

CLEAR LINES OF COMMUNICATIONS
Will be established between our Firm and the Owner to ensure a complete understanding of contract requirements and promote the efficient performance of all tasks within the established schedules. We use e-mail, office phones, cell phones, texting, faxes, or any combination of these communications techniques for the benefit of the project.

ENVIROMENTAL DESIGN
Our contributions to the built environment are both aesthetically pleasing while fulfilling the project program requirements. Architecture Studio will provide functional designs which, respects the environment and improve the quality of their surroundings. We do have experienced LEED (USGBC) design professional as part of our firm.

COORDINATION OF ALL DISCIPLINES
It is the responsibility of Architecture Studio to coordinate the efforts of everyone involved with the project. Directing our staff, scheduling and organizing the consultants and informing our clients are part and parcel of what we do well. The Owner is an integral member of the project team, performing important duties in the decision making process. The input and participation of the owner is critical to the success of the project.

COST CONTROL
Continually during the project development, the Project Manager, will maintain direct contact with the Owner to ensure maximum communication and thereby eliminate any scope or budget surprises at the time of bidding. In order to properly control costs, careful monitoring of the various elements continues throughout the project and the design team addresses these issues with the client and user. We will commence cost control immediately upon the inception of the project.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality Assurance procedures provide the expertise and direction required to execute a successful project, including control of information during the entire life of a project and the development of complete and coordinated documentation. Each of the Professional personnel who comprise the Quality Review Team has a background in design and documentation, as well as specialized experience in Quality Control coordination. The Quality Control Team carefully reviews design and documentation at key milestones and offers an unbiased and unencumbered review. Quality Control is administered by one of the partners who is not involved in the project, providing a fresh perspective and an independent review and critique. This approach separates the review and coordination process from the day-to-day execution of work and therefore, enhances the production of accurate, definitive construction documents.

POST OCCUPANCY EVALUATION
After you have been using the building for approximately 10 months, Architecture Studio will walk with the owner through the building to evaluate the performance and identify any warranty items needing to be addressed by the contractor prior to the expiration of the one year builder's warranty. At this time, after nearly a year of building usage, we like to get the owner's feedback on our performance in order to improve ourselves for the next project.

FINANCIAL STABILITY
We have maintained a "preferred status" with our banking institution since our inception. Our downtown historic corporate office building, the computers, plotters, copy machines, etc. are all company owned and not leased or financed. Credit references and financial statement are available upon request.

Sustainability is the intelligent use of the resources that are required to design and build the projects that we live, work and play in. It is the principle of leaving a small footprint upon the environment that sustains us, impacts our health, welfare, productivity and economy. Sustainable goals for a project can be very diverse from informally adopting the basic principles to a certified project with a zero footprint and everything in between.

Our services can include some or all of the following:


These processes are intended to provide us with better living and working conditions and save us money in the long run. Simply put, it includes using less water, electricity and natural resources, the production of safer and local products, the use of mass transportation, energy efficiency and the protection of nature. These are truly old fashion ideals that are relevant today
