What Does Collaborative Methods Mean?

In this economy, a project’s success and possibly its creation, depends upon the team involved. Developing the built environment begins with a concept, leads to design, evolves into documents for pricing and construction and results in a completed development. For any size or type project, the architect incorporates the expertise and knowledge of the client, consultants, engineers, contractors and sub-contractors into every project from the first meeting until the last meeting. This results in a well-designed and coordinated success. The architect acts as quarterback for the multiple team members and works collaboratively with that group in order to exceed all expectations. This is what “Collaborative Methods” means, and is exactly how The Schimberg Group delivers projects to all of our clients.
