Most owners hire an architect, then hire a contractor, then watch the two of them negotiate. We do both — which is why our drawings arrive with the price already in them.
We bring the subcontractors who will build your project into the room before design starts, and ask them how to do it better, faster and for less. Decisions get made while they are still cheap to make, and value engineering is built in from the first meeting rather than cut out of the drawings at the end.
Programming, planning and design for large, complex, multi-disciplinary projects — the work that decides whether a building functions on day one. Our architecture practice is led by David Christine, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, with nearly four decades of it behind him.
One team carries the project from first sketch to final inspection, with Accelerated Contracting, LLC building what we draw. One point of responsibility means no gap between design intent and what gets built — and nobody to pass blame to when something needs solving.
National brands arrive with a prototype that has to meet local code, local soil and a local budget without losing what makes it theirs. We have done it for Jollibee, Church's Chicken and Kiddie Academy, including the structural problem-solving a new prototype usually brings with it.
Environmentally responsible design led by Brad Hollett, a LEED Accredited Professional, including alternate energy sources and alternative materials and methods. We have already proven we can build green at no additional cost, with the savings starting a year or two in.
Someone has to hold the drawings to account once the work starts. We stay on the project through construction, keeping owners, engineers, subcontractors and the owner's own staff pulling in the same direction until the building is finished.
How it runs
The order is the whole point. Most of what goes wrong on a construction project goes wrong because these happen in a different sequence.
What the building has to do, who works in it, what the budget actually is, and what the last building you occupied got wrong.
The subcontractors tell us how they would build it, where the money goes and what will slow the schedule down — before anything is drawn.
Drawings that reflect how the job will really be built, costed as they develop. No redesign loop waiting at the end to claw money back.
Construction runs with the same team that planned it, and we stay through administration until the owner has the building they signed up for.
Where we work
Medical and dental practices, childcare and mixed-use buildings, salon studios, and quick-service restaurant builds — in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, St. Johns, Amelia Island, Fernandina, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach.
