Architectural Services

Our architectural experience extends all throughout the different phases of design and construction.

Architectural Services

We see the big picture when it comes to planning and managing new architectural projects. First, we get to know you, your business, and the core principles on which your brand is built. That way, everything that follows is informed by your values. You can always look at design from a formal, objective standpoint, but the key is to provide the feeling you get when you’re in a space that connects to your brand and creates a sense of invigoration. That’s what it means to be brand-driven architects.

Our architectural experience extends throughout the different phases of design and construction, but we understand that every client has different needs. We’re flexible. Whether you’re starting from scratch or want a partner who can review a project already in development, we’ll step in to provide immediate support. Our goal is always to make sure you end up with a physical space that feels like a natural extension of your brand.

Programming / Feasibility Study

In today's economic climate, this is a vital stage of developing a workable brief and setting the parameters for a successful project.

Programming / Feasibility Study

We often begin projects with a Programming / Feasibility Study. This is a proactive way of extracting useful information out of the details of your requirements, while working out questions of cost, build-out and the likelihood of getting necessary permissions for the work. In today’s economic climate, this is a vital stage of developing a workable brief and setting the parameters for a successful project.

Preparing one of these studies is a cooperative venture. The skills of other professionals, such as quantity surveying and structural engineering, will almost always be needed. We resource feasibility studies with our most experienced partners who not only have the experience to make their own contribution, but also have the ability to act as a team leader to coordinate the work of other specialists and pull all relevant information into a clear and appropriate report.

Value Realization

While cost savings is sometimes an aspect of value engineering, it encompasses so much more than just that.

Value Realization

Value Engineering often has a negative connotation in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. Many professionals associate it with “cheapening” the original design of a project to cut costs— taking away higher-quality materials in order to meet a budget. While cost savings can be an aspect of value engineering, it encompasses so much more than just that.

Link Architecture’s goal in our value engineering is to research alternative materials and methods that are cost-effective, yet maintain the design intent. Sometimes value engineering may cost more up front, but it adds value to a project in the long run. The process begins during pre-construction and continues to project completion.

Value engineering not only delivers the intent of Link Architecture’s designs at your predetermined budget, but it also enhances the value of the project. That’s a win-win situation in this economy.

Project Coordination

Link Architecture has over 5 decades of combined experience in comprehensive management and implementation of architectural solutions to provide superior project coordination for many types of projects.

Project Coordination

Project Coordination is important in helping us analyze a proposed project. Link Architecture doesn’t blindly accept the scope and requirements of a project. It’s crucial that we understand the reasons behind the ideas and the full requirements of the project so there won’t be a missed opportunity to offer improvements or solutions to the business problem. We also analyze the team structure, timeline, and work streams. It’s important to know the key members of the team, what their roles are and the overall plan for project delivery.

Construction Consulting

Link Architecture's understanding of building codes, regulations and materials are often more thorough than general contractors' understanding.

Construction Consulting

We often serve as a Construction Consultant where we provide both design and construction advice. Link Architecture’s understanding of building codes, regulations, and materials are often more thorough than a general contractor’s understanding. It’s important for us to have a solid knowledge of the skill level of contractors so that we can refer you to highly-recommended, high-quality resources. In other instances, we serve as consultants on design/build contracts. The ideal situation is one in which the construction team is motivated to work with Link Architecture to develop a design with constructibility in mind. In this way, it is possible for us to creatively find ways to reduce construction costs without reducing the function or quality of the final product.

Project Management

Link Architecture has spent years refining our process to ensure that your project will be completed on time, on budget and to your satisfaction.

Project Management

Project Management is a key skill integrated into all of our work from initial feasibility studies to project completion. Link Architecture has spent years refining our process to ensure that your project will be completed on time, on budget, and to your satisfaction. Our role, however, is more than just budgeting, scheduling, and quality control. We work closely with you, your team members, building code authorities, and other regulatory bodies to facilitate information flow, to identify and eliminate potential obstacles, and to help mitigate any risk.

You’ll feel confident in our abilities to guide you through every step of the process and to work as a team. Link Architecture understands that building trust in a working relationship is the foundation for a successful project.
