We work directly with owners, developers, corporate, and public entities to manage expectations, design quality, and budgets, to deliver successful, innovative and sustainable projects. SMP is accustomed to a variety of roles on projects besides our traditional design team leadership role; whether as part of an Engineer-led team on a highly complex
industrial project, or as part of an multi-firm Architectural team.
SMP design uses a highly effective system of communicating the design from a very early stage, through three-dimensional virtual models. The way we design and produce documents using software such as SketchUp, allows participants in the process (Owners, Consultants or Contractors) to visualize and experience the proposed project. Powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) software tools such as Autodesk Revit, enhance communication with the Owner and allows maximized coordination and communication with our consultant engineers and contractors, resulting in better estimates and fewer RFIs.
