As you wade through piles of proposals and resumes to select your Architect - remember that most, if not all, architects are technically qualified to the work.  BUT...there are several things that differentiate our team from the pack.  These differences will have a positive influence as you begin your planning or construction project.  These are the reasons you should select the PC&A team...
      
Choose An Architectural Firm With Experience...
  • Our Principal's participation in the Healthcare design field for almost 35 years provides unique insight into the changing role of healthcare facilities.
  • We have been involved in many endeavors that vary significantly from the "traditional" delivery of healthcare services.
  • The Principals of the Firm were planners for the single room birthing Facility in the Commonwealth of Virginia; designed prototype Medical Office Facilities; involved in "community based" delivery of specialty and acute care services; planned, designed, and constructed a variety of Ambulatory/Outpatient Clinic Facilities (free-standing and integrated) throughout the region.
Choose An Architectural Firm Who Is Focused...
  • We use a "Quality Control" approach.  One of the first policies instituted for the firm was a quality assurance program to manage effectively the quality, cost, and schedule of the projects.  Our firm's goal is to provide technically accurate and well coordinated plans and specifications for the project.  Controlling the quality of the design product is the cornerstone of our professional efforts.
  • Our Team Members are accustomed to fast tracking projects.  We can respond to almost any schedule required by our clients.  We provide the leadership and guidance to manage the design and construction schedule in the most efficient manner possible.
Choose An Architectural Firm Who Is Cost Conscious...
  • Our Project Team is organized to provide for judicious use of personnel.  Individuals are assigned only on an as needed basis.
  • Cost Control, as well as Project Schedule Control, is required from the outset of a project.  The decisions and actions taken during the programming and early design phases of the Project have the most impact on cost control.  The Project requirements related to costs must be compatible with the design solutions.
  • We are always aware of the impact our design decisions have on the Project.  Budget but do not let this overshadow creative solutions to the design issues.  We are confident that we are able to estimate accurately and control the budgets based on the design decisions made.
Choose An Architectural Firm Who Has Available Staff...
  • We are ready to begin your project now.  You will have dedicated personnel at your disposal who have the exclusive responsibility and authority to serve you.
