Our service-oriented practice was formed to solve our client’s problems using a user oriented co-design analytical process. This in turn formulates the design solution. Every good design integrates form and function. We go beyond that to integrate construction know-how and sustainability. We integrate the needs of our client with the needs of everyone impacted by the space from CEO to maintenance. This creative process serves our work with clients in the profit-driven world allowing us to sustain non-profit project.

CULTURE
​
IDeA is committed to Principal management through all phases of our projects. This ensures continuity, expertise and quality. Bob is a member of IFMA and his public owner experience as a County Architect continues to be a great asset to our clients. Project management by our Principal in the interest of our clients has resulted in outstanding performance in our sector work.
IDeA supports “Management by Objectives”; therefore detailed project planning is our first project priority. This planning produces optimal results: thorough work using the best resources in the least time at an acceptable cost. We understand that design involves many people with varied interests. To make sure that everyone’s interests are met, we recommend forming client and user Advisory Teams. These teams form the foundation of our Co-Design process.
​
CLIENTS
​
Our team is well aware of the concerns, challenges, and opportunities that come with a housing project. We understand the importance of completing projects on time and within budget while meeting the Owner’s needs. We take pride in the number of clients who have been added to our Repeat Client List. We offer a very hands-on approach to meeting project requirements throughout all phases of the project, which further reduces the need for change orders later on.
