WHY HIRE ABITEC ARCHITECTS
VISION
Abitec Architects seeks to understand and execute the big picture. We understand how that the overall vision can shape comprehensive design solutions that are both functional and beautiful as well as create quality spaces in which we work and live.
PRE-DESIGN & PLANNING
Every project has a beginning. The success of a project is built on a strong foundation based in intelligent planning and pre-design analysis. We listen to our clients and establish the project vision and its goals. At this stage we evaluate the parameters and constraints set by the client, the site and location, building code, and zoning requirements. This phase shapes the overall trajectory of the project.
DESIGN & DOCUMENTATION
Once the project goals and vision has been established, the process of design can begin. We set the orientation and shape of the building that best utilizes the site. The buildings layout reflects the required functionality established in pre-design and the overall look of the building is revealed. Once the design is approved the project shifts its focus to the production of construction documents. It is at this point where the project comes to life with constructible drawings, engineering coordination, and details.
MATERIAL SELECTION &
SPECIFICATIONS
With the design and documentation fully developed, one of the most critical aspects of our architectural services begins. It is at his point when we start refining the material selections for the building by selecting manufacturers, layouts and patterns, the performance characteristics of materials. Specifications are produced that establish the requirements and quality the Contractors must meet.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
The start of construction is the most exciting phase of any project. It is here where you begin to see the building becomes real. It is at this point where we are reviewing the overall progress of the building construction and verifying it is being built according to the design and construction documents. We believe in actively working with the contractor's team to ensure building components are properly coordinated, issues that arise are resolved, and the overall design intent is being maintained.
