Design Matters. Our team is fully committed to preserving your project's core intent, and bringing your vision to life. Learn how below.
Creativity, expert knowledge and cutting-edge technology shape everything we do—whether it’s exploring form and function in our growing range of acoustic products, adapting our preconfigured architectural systems to meet project needs, or partnering with clients through our Solutions Studio®.
Find a RepAcross our team of extremely talented architects and designers we accelerate project results by leveraging superior technology. There are plenty of options in the marketplace to “build” or “fabricate.” However, infusing advanced technologies – and technology oriented team members – brings real results. Efficiencies in design and production and advancements in approach, can all influence the final product and add real value in terms of time, budget and finished product.
All members of our project management staff have backgrounds in architecture and engineering. They will work closely with you from the beginning to understand the complex demands of your assignment. Our goal is not simply to preserve the original design intent but to nourish your creativity, helping you take your projects further than ever.
At kickoff, the project brief should name the coordination owner and record the solution type, measurable acceptance criteria, control protocol and owner platform, driver location and service access, programming and commissioning responsibility, and required specification deliverables. This creates a single decision record for lighting, acoustic treatment, facade or rainscreen systems, and bespoke assemblies.
Our expert staff will guide the workflow throughout the life of your project. Through structured facilitation and collaboration, we identify critical project factors and clear paths to success. Every Solutions Studio project requires a customized approach, and we hold ongoing project meetings to discuss, review and adapt our process for optimal results. Whether we’re hosting design charrettes, reviewing mock ups, coordinating with installers or touring our facilities, we help you stay engaged with every step of the design/build process.
Use the ongoing project meetings as phase gates for design criteria, coordinated backgrounds and attachment points, mock-up and finish approval, shop drawings and field measurement, release to production, delivery sequencing, and installation acceptance. Each gate records the responsible party, approved evidence, open engineering changes, and the next decision date.
Our manufacturing process is fluid. On the basis of facilitated project meetings, we tailor the right workflow, equipment and approach to fit your project needs. If it takes a new tool, process or machine to realize your vision, we will invent it, putting our creativity and expertise at your disposal. Our mastery of technology and our staff of in-house programming personnel, scientists and manufacturing leaders offer each project the highest level of precision, craft and versatility.
Engineering-change control ties each revision to the affected geometry, material or finish, structural attachment, control wiring, production tool or process, cost, and schedule, with an approval recorded before production release. For illuminated systems, the specification package records the control protocol, owner platform, RGBW/DMX requirements, driver location and service access, programming responsibility, and emergency-lighting coordination.
When it comes to final installation, our project management team provides comprehensive oversight. Our products are always easy to install, and we provide highly detailed documentation to clearly articulate the complexities of the assignment to the team on the ground. We work with a national network of preferred installers whose skill and experience you can trust down to the last detail.
Installation documentation defines the handoff boundary through installer scope, component or panel numbering, field-measure confirmation, installation sequence, access for cleaning and replacement, and acceptance records. The same handoff record can carry the preferred installer, delivery milestone, and closeout deliverables for a coordinated commercial installation.
