FEASIBILITYOur Group 1 feasibility services include viability, property use analysis, and highest and best use evaluation. These services are tailored to objectively vet your project’s potential, provide initial illustrations that capture the project vision, set a project budget and timeline, and identify risks. Our goal is to pinpoint profitability issues before you invest time and money in design, permitting, and construction costs. Once we outline a project’s benefits and potential value, we create the most appropriate plan for your project and your stakeholders.

PERMITTINGDesign, permitting, and construction administration are included in our Group 2 services.

At this point, we begin involving the architect and builder at every stage of the creative process to ensure clarity, communication, and efficiency. By combining a design studio and a construction management team under one roof, we can offer a range of services unavailable at most other conventional architecture firms.

All potential issues and project killers are identified before moving into design.

This establishes accountability, keeps your development on track, and allows us to provide accurate real-time updates and cost projections throughout the project.
