EL MAR DRIVE, SUITE 201B, JENSEN BEACH, FLORIDA 34957 (954) 792-8525 AA# 26000685 WWW.CPZARCHITECTS. COM Our Team approaches every project as an opportunity for success. Our goal is to provide a completed project that meets the needs of our client and the end user. We believe in working closely with you, the client, and our consultants to complete a thoroughly coordinated project. CPZ’s project approach is both systematic and progressive. As the Architect, we will be the designers of your building and overall site functions. The functionality of the facility, both site and building, will be our top priority. This shall be blended into an aesthetically pleasing design that you can be proud of in your City. Our staff includes LEED accredited professionals to assure that your new facility is sustainable, provides a quality indoor environment and is energy efficient. We are also experienced in other forms of certifications including Green Globes and Florida Green Building Coalition. We believe in working closely with you, the client, and our consultants to complete a thoroughly coordinated project. Our project method approach usually as follows: Programming The first part of this project is the programming and recommendations report. CPZ will issue a questionnaire for Staff to fill out prior to our first programming meeting. In this phase the design team will meet with staff to review all the project goals and gather all the analysis data. Then we will meet with all the departments concerned and determine the project specific needs, requests and budget for the entire project. These meetings are essential for the Design team and City staff to work together. During the programming phase we will meet on the site with our design consultants and provide a due diligence site report. This due diligence report includes all discipline reviews and code analysis, zoning requirements and City and County ordinances review. CPZ will also meet with Planning and Zoning during this phase to review the entire project for master planning and site plan approval process. We also request our clients to provide a survey and the geotechnical services during this phase. Once all programming requirements mentioned above are completed, the design team will issue a programming report. Once a facility program is developed, we will be able to identify the total building square footage as well as the parking and vehicle storage areas that will be required. This will allow us to start the review of available building/sites (Tracts A, B & C. As an example, we assisted the City of Coral Spring’s in the evaluation of an existing tilt wall warehouse that was for sale for use as a Public Works and Fire Administration Facility. We determined that the existing building was able to be utilized and had enough interior height for the vehicle lifts in one area and in the other areas allowed for a second floor to be installed within the existing structure. Based on the title wall nature of the building, we were also able to reinforce the structure so it could be utilized as an “Essential Facility” during emergencies. Conceptual Design Once the programming phase has been completed and with the scope in hand, we will develop a project milestone schedule and begin schematic design. During schematic design we request that the City’s Project Manager identify all City departments and users that will provide input on the project. CPZ will then set a kickoff meeting with all members of the City and all members of our design team. Several meetings will follow as the design evolves. As a starting point, our project manager will develop several preliminary master plan and floor plan options for review and then request a meeting with the City and selected staff for
