OUR DISCOVE
Each collaborative DNA process is tailored to the orga
a wide range of discovery tools and create a
1. EXISTING FACILITIES
MEASURE AND DRAWING
We measure the existing facility and draw
these conditions into Revit, our 3D modeling
software. These as-built drawings become the
baseline for Design DNA.
5. SITE ANALYSIS
By analyzing the surrounding areas,
we uncover the site’s constraints and
opportunities. Sun, views, parking, access to
other facilities, circulation, etc. are explored in
this diagram.
2. BUILDING CODE ANALYSIS
A code review of existing spaces provides the
foundation for required design work to be
compliant. All building owners and tenants
should strive to meet the Life, Health and
Safety standards.
6. FACILITY
LIFECYCLE ASSESSMENT
We identify the facility’s various systems and
analyze their expected life. The information
provided will inform decisions regarding
deferred maintenance or other
significant upgrades.
