Design Without Construction Phase Services

Small architecture firms are faced with unique challenges during the construction and design phases of emerging projects. This program works to explore the importance of involving architects in this phase and the risks and values associated for all involved. Join us as we explain contract and construction verbiage as well as work to help architects and emerging firms navigate and gain a deeper understanding of the architects' role in the Construction phase.
