early planning improves results

If sustainability is just an add-on to a standard code building, it will not be cost-effective or ultimately achieve your goals. We help from day one to coordinate and align design, systems, materials, and budget. We ask first what your goals should be, and then how can we best achieve them. We lead a collaborative design process with key workshops that are not only educational but an opportunity for design team members to explore appropriate project-specific solutions. We optimize performance and cost while ensuring an appropriate budget is allocated for all project phases. Ultimately this upfront alignment effort significantly reduces changes and frustrations later on when costs are highest.
