Collaborative Planning and Design Services

To give form to our client's visions, IGW Architecture directs a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary design process that balances aesthetic demands, functional requirements, environmental responsibility, and financial considerations. A team philosophy and approach are essential to creating projects of lasting value, with the most satisfying projects conceived and brought to life through true collaboration.

This means that the design team closely meshes with client representatives at every stage of project development, creating the reality of a larger "team," including all vested and interested parties, not just the A-E technical component. With various alternative project delivery methods, this collaboration extends to the contractor through all design and construction phases.

Our approach recognizes that the planning and design process is enlightened and enriched by the close involvement of those who will use the planned facilities, those involved in the funding, operations, and maintenance, and those constructing the facilities. In this way, the client's objectives and goals are integral to project development, and the talents and insights of all project participants help optimize project outcomes.
