Dwain Lee Architects is a full-service architectural firm with proven expertise in balancing good design with economic and construction realities, tailored for your specific project needs.
Our firm believes very strongly in integrated project services. We understand client needs as they pertain to the entire project, not just narrowly defined portions of the work.
Our site pre-purchase and analysis services can help you find the right site for your needs. We offer insights that you and your real estate agent may not be aware of that can have a tremedous impact on the ultimate success of your project, before you have locked into a specific site.
Our preliminary design services help to quickly define what your project should be - and more importantly, what it should not. Very early, we assist you with recommendations of construction types, materials, and alternative designs to balance total project needs.
Our time-proven cost estimating services give clients a realistic picture of what their project will really cost, well before actual bidding. Our estimating services have even been used by contractors to double-check their own internal estimating.
We provide our clients with skilled interior design services. We maintain an extensive materials library in-house, and we offer our clients years of expertise in selecting the right finishes, furniture, even draperies and artwork.
Successful construction projects depend largely on the accuracy of the construction drawings and specifications that are used to actually build the project. The thoroughness of our construction documents services has been praised by both clients and contractors alike. No set of construction documents, prepared by any architect, is ever flawless, and no client should expect it. But we are very proud of our well-known reputation for accurate, complete construction documents.
By providing construction phase administrative services, we act as your eyes and ears during construction, working to guard you against incorrect work and unneeded expense. We track schedules, analyze contractors' payment applications, and track your budget. We help to protect you against mechanic's liens and clarify the intent of the constructin documents. Since we do these things every day, we are an important asset to you in helping to avoid construction problems.
What else do we do? Project scheduling. Master planning. Feasibility studies. ADA compliance. BOMA calculations and facility area management. Computerized imaging. Design/Build services.
Lots of architectural firms offer many of the services above. Not many offer them all. We think that your project will benefit by selecting an architect to provide all of these services in an integrated manner. But even if you want an architect for selected services, wouldn't it be nice to know that his service to you is based on comprehensive understanding of the project? We think so. We hope you do, too.
