About
Full Service, Built to Last
From architectural feasibility studies to interior design, our comprehensive in-house services help clients understand what's possible -- from site selection and project strategy through to final execution. With firm principals directly involved in every project and deep expertise in regulatory requirements and approvals, we guide projects through challenging processes on schedule and on budget. We approach every project with 50-year thinking because our projects serve communities for generations.
Strategic Collaboration
We begin every project by listening carefully to understand a client's vision and goals. Through strategic sessions and iterative design, we help establish clear project direction while anticipating future challenges. With clients ranging from school boards to First Nations communities, we facilitate meaningful consultation with all stakeholders, ensuring every voice is heard. We understand every project as the outcome of hundreds of people working together toward a common goal with genuine optimism.
Architect Managed Projects (AMP)
Our AMP delivery model, developed over 30+ years, places architects at the centre of both design and construction. We manage the 'paper' - drawings, schedules, and subcontracts - while our General Trades Contractor manages the `mud' of on-site supervision. This creates a single point of accountability for clients and builds genuine cooperation between all project stakeholders. Direct communication between architects and trades enables real-time problem-solving and better cost control. Successfully used on one-third of our projects, AMP works particularly well for complex builds, phased renovations of occupied buildings, and ambitious projects on tight timelines. Our AMP knowledge benefits all our projects.
