HOW WE CAN HELP
At END/a we start by listening to your project goals and aspirations because at the core of every project is you. Each project requires a specific awareness, and balance of the project triad (Scope, Schedule, Budget), to achieve harmony and project success.
We begin every endeavor with information gathering and consideration of the essence of the project, client goals, architectural styles, the natural environment, and surrounding architecture. From the early concept studies to refined layouts, the visuals and process are shared with our clients at each step along the way. We use sketches, detailed drawings, three-dimensional computer generated models, renderings, and other medium to help communicate and build consensus surrounding the design.
SCOPE
It is important to identify the scope of the project early in the process and to balance these many priorities with the budget. The scope is what creates the framework for how the occupants will interact with the building and further impacts its long term operational and functional performance.
SCHEDULE
It is not uncommon for projects to take 6 months to over 2 years depending on the scope and scale of your project. We look forward to identifying and right sizing the schedule to efficiently help guide your project from early design through construction and move-in.
BUDGET
As past owner representatives, we understand the importance of budgets and working within a budget. Early in the process we work with you to align the scope and visions with the budget. There are many variables that will impact the budget, and it is our goal to always stay in balance.
