There are many individuals and firms involved in the processes that are now overtaking the construction industry. In many cases, they aren’t architects. Our goal is to identify these firms and to establish alliances to successfully produce more and better projects. We find that, in addition to the traditional players; economists, security specialists, accountants, etc. are required to produce what clients need.

The approach must be streamlined to make best use of non-traditional team members and building information modeling advantages, through a process that defines needs first, identifies costs and success strategies very early, documents decisions and the design at the outset and then works closely with constructors to get the project built on-schedule and under-budget.
