Supplemental services for architecture are additional tasks that go beyond the basic scope of work for a project. These services can vary and are often tailored to the client’s needs. Learn more about some of our most common supplemental services below.
Site Selection
Prime Architects play a crucial role in evaluating potential sites for a project, which ensures that the chosen location aligns with the project’s goals and requirements. This evaluation process involves a detailed analysis of various factors, including the site’s location, environmental conditions, and zoning regulations. By considering these elements, we can determine the suitability of a site.
Location is a key factor in site evaluation. Environmental conditions, such as topography, climate, and natural features, are also critical considerations that can affect the design and construction process. Understanding and complying with zoning regulations is essential to ensure that the project meets all legal requirements and can proceed without delays. By thoroughly assessing these factors, Prime Architects can provide valuable insights and recommendations.
Cost Control & Estimating
Navigating the complexities of construction projects can be challenging. Prime Architects can assist clients in negotiating price discussions related to the cost of building materials, leveraging their industry knowledge to secure the best possible deals. We ensure that all agreements are fair and beneficial, protecting our client’s interests throughout the process.
In addition to financial negotiations, Prime Architects is instrumental in selecting the right contractors for a project. We evaluate bids from various contractors, considering factors such as cost, experience, and reliability. We can estimate the costs of different design options, providing clients with a clear understanding of potential expenses and helping them make budget-conscious decisions. This comprehensive support ensures that the project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also financially viable.
Quality Control & Process Monitoring
Prime Architects can serve as an Owners representative for our client, overseeing various aspects of the construction process such as inspections and testing. This role ensures that the project adheres to the design specifications and quality standards set forth in our construction documents. By being present on-site, we can promptly address any issues that arise, provide immediate solutions, and ensure that the work is progressing as planned. This hands-on involvement helps maintain the integrity of the project.
