Post-occupancy evaluations are a vital part of the architectural process. They help you and your architect assess how the project is serving occupants and provide an opportunity to revisit project goals.

For some building owners, sustainable design may seem out of reach. While effective, green building rating systems like LEED and Living Building Challenge can add to a project’s cost.

Budgets are the driving force behind every building project. If you’re beginning your first project, you may find it daunting to account for every necessary expense. Beyond construction costs, you may need to budget for legal fees, professional fees, site acquisition fees, and more.
