Building your portfolio, it’s a piece every architect has to make, especially in the early stages of your career. We spoke with Gus on his journey of creating a RIBA nomination worthy portfolio. He’s left us with some tips on how you can create a project that stands out. Gus is our newest Part 1 Architectural Assistant, who’s project, ‘Cofio Celyn: Remember Celyn,’ got nominated for the RIBA President’s medals. “Everything has to have a palpable interest. Try to create a building that has a wider positive impact on the world. The more you can link your project to real world references, the stronger your argument.” It’s been great to have Gus on our team and we’re looking forward to his growth over the coming years. Who would you like to hear from next? What topics would you like us to ask our team about? Let us know in the comments!

Ever wondered what sets the classic duo of an independent architect and general contractor apart from a design-build firm? It all boils down to the way they approach and manage the processes of design and construction. This is the difference between an independent architect and general contractor and a design-build firm. 👉 https://lttr.ai/ATS6i #IndependentArchitects #DesignBuildFirm

Navigating planning regulations can be daunting. Today, we’ll offer a brief guide through the somewhat overlooked necessity of planning department regulations. Let's discuss strategies for obtaining approvals efficiently and keeping projects on track. When you're dealing with the planning department and zoning regulations, it's important to remember to start early! This must be part of the due diligence process in order to limit risk. Also, keep in mind that the planning department and zoning are separate from the building code. Planning regulates use and zones which are outlined by the municipal code of the overseeing agency. Next, pinpoint the specific codes that apply to your project. If you know your overseeing agency is the city, Google city name + municipal code to find the legal documentation that the agency enforces. Things like zoning, allowed use, definitions of use, and parking requirements are key areas to focus on. Talking to local building authorities early on can give you valuable insights into anything vague or subjective that may arise down the line. Creating a checklist for compliance based on these regulations as well as getting any recommendations in writing will help make sure you meet all the necessary requirements. It's also wise to work with professionals like architects or consultants who have experience navigating these processes to make approvals smoother and make sure there are no surprises. Working with us allows you to easily navigate the complex requirements of building codes and regulations, ensuring peace of mind as you move through the leasing process.

In the grand arena of real estate development, where architects, investors, and designers take center stage, there exists a group of unsung heroes—our construction workers. They toil away with their sweat, arduous work, and determination that make every designer’s vision come to life. These people, who rarely grace award ceremonies or are given the spotlights—are the backbone of our every building project. Read my article here: https://lnkd.in/g8bkc6Yv

It has only been 3 years, but seems so long ago that we set out on this journey to create something truly unique and special. We wanted to do two very basic things. First, we wanted to Listen to our Customers, and second we simply desired to Provide the Services they were seeking. By combining these two ideas (Architecture and General Contracting)... and the right People, we have evolved into a true, Commercial Design-Build Solution. We now hold both credentials under one roof, ...with one agreement and one point of contact. After further refining our approach this past year, we have been able to fulfill one other bucket list goal. This was to pursue only those select project opportunities, which align our mission and values, with those of clients who also cherish this approach. Just like we imagined, going from 30-50 projects down to 6-12 (or less), has translated into a longer time spent with each Client. This is also allowing us to explore their design and budgets further, not to mention develop a longer and deeper relationship with these Clients along the way.
