What We Do

Advantages of a Small Firm

It is easy to overlook a small firm when looking for a capable team for your project, as we compete directly with Vancouver firms for work in Northern BC. There are several lesser known advantages to our small firm.

Advantages of a Small Firm

We don’t have huge travel costs for site visits, we can assist our clients directly, and we can manage the construction process locally if a problem should arise. The local advantage can save the client money and time on projects when we are available right away to deploy our problem-solving expertise directly on site. Our clients also know every member of the team working on their project, which ensures accountability and effective communication between clients and project phases.

In addition to offering a considerable amount of architectural experience with our senior team members and principals, we also work very hard to ensure our team has the latest skills. We have recent architecture graduates on our team with the latest education and abilities. The industry in larger city centres is shifting to areas of architectural research in parametric design, robotics, 3d printing and Building Information Modeling (BIM). We are proud to be able provide access to these skills locally with our in-house team. We are applying this advanced software in our office which enables us to create promotional animations and renderings for our clients, as well as real time data about the buildings we design in terms of energy efficiency and building costs. We ensure our client services are just as sophisticated as our Vancouver competitors, as it allows us to provide better services to our clients as well as improving collaboration with our consultants. Sustainable strategies rely on receiving data feedback from our design interventions.

We offer services in a wide-range of project types, from large-scale new construction projects to small renovations. Regardless of the size and budget, we aim to offer the same quality of service to all projects, large or small. We feel that great design should be accessible to all people, not just new buildings with large budgets.

On very large projects, our small size can be extended to our partner firm in Vancouver. This provides the best of both worlds to our clients, as we can provide high quality local client relationships and on-site construction administration, as well as a powerhouse team to create large drawing sets and accommodate tight timelines.
