EMPLOYMENT

A facilities approach addresses how the planning, design, and management of buildings and associated systems affect an organization’s ability to meet business objectives. Physical aspects of the space are coordinated with personnel and work processes. Real estate, equipment, furnishings, and technology are not treated as isolated components but rather as resources that can be actively and creatively managed. As part of the organization’s strategic plan, the performance of these resources can be measured and maintained after the building is occupied. The facility can be used as a competitive advantage – an extension of a product or service. Technology is critical to this concept. New tools are continually being developed that compress time-consuming procedures and alleviate repetitive tasks.

Many of the services we offer are outside the bounds of what is considered to be traditional architecture. These specialties speak to our philosophies of creative problem-solving, multi-disciplinary teams, sustainable design, and environmental quality. Our clients need assistance in analyzing complex issues requiring long-range forecasts, strategic analysis, life-cycle costing and master plan implementation. We see our relationships with our clients as cyclical, related to ongoing processes not isolated projects. With our clients we must remain focused on the task of defining problems, formulating solutions, and responding to change.
