THE PATH FROM BLUEPRINT TO BUILDING HAS ALWAYS BEEN AS CHALLENGING AS IT IS REWARDING

Our firm has the in-house experience to manage and expedite the permit process and coordinate the administrative paperwork necessary for a successful project. Viewing architecture as an exercise in problem solving, the firm includes code and energy compliance, municipal approvals, permitting and selective components of project management as integral parts of our comprehensive services and specialized expertise. For select clients, these services are provided by our wholly owned affiliate, ColumbiaWorks.

ColumbiaWorks expedites approvals from municipal, state and federal agencies covering new and renovated healthcare, commercial, and historic/landmark projects. Our 25 years of project experience and a strong working knowledge of building codes – their origin and intent – is the basis for our confident interpretation and application of these requirements. As a client advocate, ColumbiaWorks provides the comprehensive knowledge of zoning, building codes, permit expediting and obtaining plan approvals essential for timely project completion.

ColumbiaWorks’ integrated approach not only meets all code requirements, it also maintains the functional and aesthetic integrity of the project. Our reputation is such that we are often called upon for peer review of other firms as well as assistance with resolving deficiencies so a project can move forward. While we can become instrumental to a project at any stage, involving the ColumbiaWorks code consulting team early in the project often saves a significant amount of time and dollars, minimizing or eliminating an often costly re-submittal process.
