PH&J Architects' Design Process
Every project the firm undertakes is under the direct and continuing supervision of one of our principals who, as project manager, has the responsibility for its overall planning, production and scheduling from initial conferences through construction completion.
Early in the design phase, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical consultants are brought into provide input to help assure proper consideration and coordination of the various systems which must be fitted with each other and with the architecture of the building. This early involvement aids in creating a “TEAM” which becomes closely knit and involved in the project’s progress throughout its duration.
Realistic project budgets and schedules are set at the earliest practical time. A schedule for project delivery is agreed to with the Owner and is updated at frequent intervals to help assure that all Owner requirements are being met.
Through the entire process we maintain a close involvement with the Client and an understanding by our team of the Client’s operation. The client’s input, from early programming to final acceptance, is vital in delivering a successful project from the broadest concept…to the finest detail.
