How long will it take? How much will it cost? What will it look like?

 

The answers form the core of every project. Creative design develops from early involvement by the Client in the design process.

 

Bad projects are designed and built in a rush. Experience proves that professional guidance regarding key quality and money questions early on leads to better quality, timely delivered, and efficiently designed projects.

 

By 'starting slow', and engaging the Client in thoughtful discussion about the MANY choices which can be made, we focus on making the process of developing a complicated project easier and clearer. We emphasize full engagement with our Clients and their 'clients' -- the end user. This makes everyone partners in an ongoing dialogue, resulting in informed choices and leading to an exceptional project. Both of the following quotes, from three of Weller & Michal Architects' recent clients, bear witness to the approach.

 

"The design team worked well with our committee. They listened well to a variety of input, responding promptly and appropriately to all suggestions, assessing our needs and considering all suggestions. We all felt confident that this was a truly professional team that knew their business and had our best interests as their focus. We are very pleased with the result."

 

"We received professional services with a personal touch. He recognized the unique requirements of our program, and was able to synthesize the special requirements we identified and present a very functional and aesthetic design."

 

"We were particularly impressed by the attention to detail and the ability to understand us and to merge what we needed and what we wanted into a design".
