Provides architectural design, interior design, space planning, project management services and master planning of facilities.  These design and construction services include but are not limited to infrastructure studies, code analysis, programming, design consultation, sustainability criteria, space utilization, construction documents and project guidance for the client through the hurdles of the construction process.

Provides design and construction support services as related to the project site.  These services include but are not limited to site investigations, property surveys, topographical analysis, grading, drainage, grounds improvements, roads/trails, landscaping, irrigation, water supply treatment and distribution, sanitary sewer treatment and disposal and construction documents. The structural engineering services for design and construction support for buildings and appurtenant structures include but are not limited to providing structural analysis reports, calculations, evaluation of existing facilities and construction documents.

Provides design and construction support as it relates to the HVAC, plumbing, fire protection and energy used in a building.  These services include but are not limited to system evaluations of existing facilities, consultation of modifying systems, calculations, conceptual fire sprinkler design, energy modeling for the building as a whole, water usage analysis, solar hot water heating and construction documents.

Provides design and construction support as it relates to both the site and building infrastructure as it relates to the electrical, voice, data, signal needs and fire egress protection systems.  These services include but are not limited to system evaluations of existing facilities, consultation of modifying systems, calculations, fire alarm system design, photo voltaics, light level analysis both in buildings and on site, electrical vehicle charging stations, security access and monitoring systems and construction documents.

Delivers designs that go beyond minimum code requirements to provide LEED certified new building designs and Net Zero Energy buildings.  We offer services helping to analyze your project for all sustainability measures related to Executive Order B-18-12 calling for new or renovated state buildings larger than 10,000 square feet to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED “Silver” certification or higher and to incorporate clean, on-site power generation, such as solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and wind power generation and clean back-up power supplies. The order also sets a target of zero net energy consumption for 50% of the square footage of existing state-owned buildings by 2025 and zero net energy consumption from all new or renovated state buildings beginning design after 2025. Additionally, our designs incorporate overall water use savings by 10% by 2015 and 20% by 2020, as measured against a 2010 baseline.

Includes a Construction Cost Estimate at the conclusion of each phase of work. Cost Estimating provides cost information to RESD management, project managers, and customers to enable responsible individuals to make timely, mission critical business decisions. These services include estimating project construction cost, change order estimates, value engineering, and estimates of project design and management fees.
