Bialecki Architects provides all the design services associated with architectural projects. These services are based on American Institute of Architects contracts for owners and architects but are tailored to the specific client and project. Realizing highly-crafted, technically advanced buildings takes strong design and management skills. BA has developed an approach to managing design and construction that acknowledges the formidable amount of information involved. BA emphasizes the responsibility of the architect to collect, coordinate and utilize data in order to lead the entire design team. We utilize state of the art computer technology for design, virtual modeling, construction administration and project management, and good old-fashioned client coordination and communication at all stages of project development. Before committing to a property acquisition or full scale design and construction program, a client may need to broadly explore the feasibility of a project with regard to site selection, building size, construction costs, zoning analysis and completion schedules. Bialecki Architects carries out a practical, focused investigation of pertinent data to determine the physical and economic potential and regulatory viability of a project. Such a study may include basic plan layouts, preliminary cost estimates, and master planning. A thorough feasibility study such as this places the client in a position of knowledge and confidence prior to committing to a full design effort.
