Description of Services
DiGeronimo PA provides Project Administration and Management
Services for the overall project. Project administration
includes consultation, research, conferences, and progress
reports. Our clients' own work forces occasionally require
DiGeronimo PA coordination. At times, our clients need DiGeronimo
PA to further document existing conditions. An architectural
project normally follows a sequence, where one phase requires
approval before progressing onto a next step.
Projects begin with a statement that describes the function
of the facility or site, the project's goals, the activities
to be accommodated, and any special requirements, which could
guide the design. DiGeronimo PA Programming Services
are a problem seeking process, one that identifies the problems
that the design must solve. DiGeronimo PA uses programming
to discover the client's goals, the user's requirements, and
community opportunities, thus establishing the essential foundation
for quality design. Programming, combined with budgeting,
sets the project scope and the project quality. Our designs
identify quantity, type, and location of spaces. Through diagrams
and drawings, we can help clients understand if it is spatially
feasible to fit all of the client's program goals into a space,
building or site.
Integral to the DiGeronimo PA architectural design process
is community influence, as architecture is part of the larger
society. In DiGeronimo PA Site Analysis Services,
our architects search out site related limitations and local
requirements.
Two vital elements of the architectural design process are
communication and understanding. In DiGeronimo PA Pre-Design
Services, our architects listen to fully comprehend our
client's program, financial requirements, time constraints,
and scope of the project. Design Research occasionally
involves existing facilities surveys.
Sustainable
Design Services
offers Architectural Designs that sites buildings advantageously
to climate, sun, wind and ground topography. DiGeronimo PA
creates a sensible placement for facilities within the site,
establishes the groundwork for community responsible solutions,
for workable connections to, from, and between buildings,
and for reasonable project budgets. Under this service aspect,
we specify product aimed at the recovery and preservation
of our environment through waste reduction, reclamation and
recycling.
Presentation Services are sometimes key to getting
a project to move forward, by presenting existing conditions
in an extremely readable format to general public audiences.
Renderings are graphic pictorial representations of the proposed
project. Renderings can be simple perspective in black
and white or in full color. DiGeronimo PA architects can insert
renderings of the project into a photograph for presentation
purposes. Video prepares explanatory documentaries of the
project. Three- Dimensional (3-D) Animation animates
space and provides a visual walk through of the design concept.
Model Construction is sometimes useful to present the
three-dimensional concepts of a project program. Small-scale
block models can easily relate the building(s) to the site.
Moderate scale models can show the detailed design with all
finished building materials and site amenities. Large-scale
models are useful to perceive designated interior or exterior
components.
DiGeronimo PA architects have responsibility for developing
solutions that respond to owners and users, as appropriate
to the building's setting and embracing of humanity's requirements.
DiGeronimo PA architects are the creators, coordinators, and
communicators of the project's designs in overall concept
and in it's many parts. DiGeronimo PA architects provide
Design Services, with Schematic Design setting
the stage in which the general scope, conceptual design, scale
and relationship of components are established.
Each owner and each project represents special requirements
for design expertise. DiGeronimo PA architects structure a
design team for each project from a set of people, expertise,
and relationships appropriate to the project situation at
hand. DiGeronimo PA architects speak the language of the various
team members, facilitate the collaboration, and guide the
team through the tasks needed to complete the project.
DiGeronimo PA can provide Mock up Services to construct
full size details of components of the project for study and
/ or testing during the design phase. We design and prepare
documentation to build the required mock up. We manage and
coordinate the pricing and contracting, handling administration
of construction activities. DiGeronimo PA makes arrangements
for aesthetic viewing or performance testing, providing a
final report on results.
Design Development refines the size and character of
the project, combining DiGeronimo architectural elements with
consultant mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, civil,
and specialty disciplines.
Contract Documents detail the requirements for the
construction work. The depiction of construction requirements
for the project include detailed drawings, building sections,
plans, elevations, engineering calculations, material specifications,
equipment layouts, and by other ways set forth the workmanship,
quality, and performance criteria required for the construction
of the project.
Materials Research Services identify potential architectural
materials and evaluate each in terms of criteria, availability,
and suitability to set Quality Standards. Some Clients
require preparation of Design Manuals to proscribe
top management set standards, termed 'Branding', to locally
based, outlying field facilities. Facilities can be designed
with largely prefabricated components, requiring extensive
research in systems available. DiGeronimo PA specifies product
to recover and preserve our environment through waste reduction,
reclamation, and recycling.
Generally the Client keeps to the traditional chronological
sequence - Design / Bid / Build, but the Client can combine
or compress DiGeronimo PA Service phases. For those clients
who wish to alter the traditional sequence of Design / Bid
/ Build, Special Design Documentation Services can
expedite the client's early occupancy of the project, prepare
for the client who wishes to contract with multiple prime
construction contractors, or just produce out of sequence
work as is convenient for the client.
Beginning
with Bidding or Negotiations Services, DiGeronimo PA
assists the client to establish a list of bidders, possibly
under Prequalification criteria.
We respond to bidders questions and issue clarification
and interpretation on the contract documents.
Construction
Contract Administration Service
observes the progress of the work, processes shop drawings
/ submittals, and approves contractor payment applications.
After
Project closeout, the client may find DiGeronimo PA Post-Contract
Services useful.
These services assist the client’s use and occupancy,
such as training client’s personnel in new building systems
procedures, review of warranties in the case of defective
materials, and arranging for record drawings.
Committed
to providing exceptional, dependable service, DiGeronimo PA
provides creative solutions to complex building problems.
Our success is our quality architectural designs.
Clients find DiGeronimo PA an easy firm with which
to work. We are
good, practical, and competent.
