To ensure that your project is executed successfully, we believe it is important that appropriate procedures are followed from day one. This will ensure that every detail is accounted for and helps to lay a foundation of mutual trust and respect between our clients and our company. In order to achieve these goals, we adhere to the following regardless of a project’s size or scope:
At this stage we meet with our clients discuss their goals and vision. An initial feasibility analysis, consultation and full project overview is provided. From here, the process typically follows one of two paths:
If the client already has a design and tender package developed by a consultant, we can provide an estimate based off that on the presented scope.
If the client has no design or tender package, depending on the size and scope of the project we will provide a price to initiate the design stage with our own consultants.
