perkinswill.com 11 + HALLMARKS OF OUR APPROACH—COMMUNICATION Communication is at the core of our design philosophy. Our ability to listen enables us to hear even the most subtle differences clients have in terms of needs, desires, and budgets. These factors, combined with the responding to the unique qualities of each project and site, have resulted in the marked variety of our facility design solutions. We promote an interactive process with the participation of stakeholders. Perkins+Will believes that successful projects are only possible with good communication among all project team members. Communication with the Owner Good communication includes good listening. We will listen to your goals, aspirations, expectations and needs. We want to understand what you need to be successful. We also will convey the knowledge we possess from previous experience and challenge your thinking. The goal is to not just meet current needs, but to position you for the future. Communication with the Stakeholders Positive interaction and thorough communication with the Stakeholders is vital for a smooth process. We are experienced at presenting the right information in the correct manner to promote understanding and support. This would include specifically for this project, the City of Sunny Isles Beach, the School Board of Miami-Dade County and other potential tenants and end-users for the project. Communication with Consultants The importance of consultant coordination cannot be overstressed. Our process is designed to minimize, if not eliminate, change orders during the construction phase as a lack of coordination between systems in the construction documents. In addition, only well-informed team members can make project-appropriate decisions. The timely distribution of information and the identification of the appropriate format and forum for information contribute to good communications.
