Our Experience
The firm has developed around the concept of “hands on” practice by the principals. We assign senior personnel of over 20 years of experience to each project from inception to completion. Each of our senior people possess complementary skills and are committed to design and technical excellence.
Our Experience
We know that our clients expect and want a consultant team that is reliable, accessible to the client in a prompt manner, have the experience to understand and solve the problems posed by the project, keep their project on a high priority of importance in the office, provide quality service and be prudent with the client’s finances. Along with these goals, our firm believes in listening to the client carefully throughout the project to ensure their goals are met, and recognizes that they will contribute creatively to a successful design. We have the capability to devote staff exclusively to this project for the term of the work. Chernoff Thompson Architects North offers its clients experience in delivering a diverse range of projects for new construction and renovations. For relevant projects with CTAN as the prime consultant, our design group embraces many facets of providing master planning and engineering coordination. We continually strive to achieve economy through innovation, by applying our experience and value analysis throughout the project. Over 80% or our work is repeated or referred business from existing clients, confirming our high level of client satisfaction. Our project values generally range from very small to $80 million in size. We are very familiar with the level of discipline required within this type of work that makes us well positioned to service CSFS and meet National, local Building and Energy codes, and the local Zoning Bylaw. Our team is committed to the implementation of sustainable principles with a focus on practical and economical solutions. Our team have practiced sustainable design for over 36 years, extending from passive solar home design in the early 1980’s to recent buildings designed to LEED® and Passive House criteria. As part of our continuing focus of sustainable architecture, we look for opportunities in each project to help our clients make decisions with environmental stewardship in mind within the project’s budget.
