PROJECT APPROACH & METHODOLOGY R.E. Chisholm Architects, Inc. approach to design challenges and methodologies are listed herein, because our firm’s philosophies, methodologies and procedures are SHARED VALUES which we hold as the basic foundation for successful professional service delivery. OUR OBJECTIVES are to understand the project program, the objectives of the client, the constraints and opportunities affecting the codes and regulations, the timeliness and budgets, and project delivery system. Once parameters are documented, understood, and organized, then concepts, design, design development and the construction documents are undertaken. After this is accomplished and secure and all the Construction Documents are completed, checked, and approved, then the official Building Permit process and construction begins. One might say that there is nothing “innovative” about this approach, but the clear and present objective when dealing with the client and the public is to be transparent and communicative in meeting their needs and expectations for services delivery. We have extensive experience in both public and private assessments of needs, project definition, presentations, and delivery. This experience spans from 1973 on a personal level, and since 1978 for our firm. R.E. Chisholm Architects, Inc., along with our consulting team, employs standard industry management techniques, with a focus on DASHBOARD reporting and ensuring accountability for meeting project program requirements. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL Teaming is a key approach to a multi-disciplinary team with key responsibilities and assignments. The approach to any and all projects is the standard but enhanced (through documentation) Design and Construction industry approach. The foundation for this approach to the practice of architecture is sound and proven to be effective. The success is based on maintaining discipline and executing the scheduled procedures and deliverables as outlined in the QA/QC procedures which include (16) sections / SD, (31) sections / DD and (31) sections / CDs for a comprehensive process to achieve accuracy and excellence in project documentation. The initial organization of a project includes establishing timelines, budgets, task responsibilities, and communication lines within the team. We then proceed through program development, concept design, and schematic design while regularly updating the project team and client on the schedule and budget DASHBOARD. This also involves identifying any potential issues and providing recommendations for possible solutions and alternatives. Chisholm Architects and its Principals have extensive and successful experience in Public Presentations, Consensus Building, Neighborhood and Community Charettes, and presentations to private sector, governing bodies, and regulatory agencies.
