3
Master Planning Services
Provide on overall strategic plan and a suggested sequence of development for larger scaled institutional, recreational or commercial projects.
4
Schematic Studies

5
Design Development Services
Provides pre-construction design documents, which reflect final design decisions concerning position, form, dimensions, materials, details, and costs. Project phasing and construction schedule determines the package preparation. Cost calculations will indicate if the project is within the scope of the contract expectations.
6
Construction Documentation Preparation
Provide bid documents (drawings and specifications) for the purpose of project construction. A final cost estimate is typically made at the end of this process and serves as the basis for bid comparisons.
7
Construction Administration and Observation Services
Provides construction observation services to monitor construction progress and compliance with construction documents and contract provisions.
