With regards to the designing process, unique angles are used as a result with each project type, there are differences. I have put together, in short, what our general design approach is and what it achieves. Some projects require more study than others, but all to some degree,  require what I have here as follows:

Time spent in planning ensures that a project's potential is fully realized. Conceptual planning reviews the total building project. Master planning, feasibility studies, and conceptual estimates are some of the tools used to conceive a project.

Conceptual planning is the process of evaluating the multitude of alternatives to accomplish our clients' needs. This often involves over viewing and evaluation of a project. The evaluation process is the first step to achieving a superior end product.

Listening and talking to understand your goals, constraints, and your diverse needs, then, as a team, considering the various solutions is integral to effective planning. Understanding the needs of those who will ultimately use the facility and translating those needs into alternate designs and solutions is the foundation of a successful project.

The above concept will get a project through the preliminary phase of the design and have it proceed to the architectural or draftsman drawings, if needed for any building permits when required.
