At the basic level, typical architectural/engineering services include assembling and managing all of the design disciplines required to deliver appropriately permitted and constructed buildings for human habitation. This includes architecture, interior design, structural/electrical/mechanical/plumbing engineering. BTA’s in-house design disciplines include architects, interior designers, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) specialists. We have strategic alliances in all building and site engineering disciplines that are custom assembled to match specific project requirements and expectations.
More and more of our clients desire the convenience and accountability of single-source service delivery (beyond traditional facility design) in meeting their business or organizational needs. We are always looking for strategic alliance partners who enjoy collaboration in meeting the needs of our clients in a comprehensive manner.
From these alliance partnerships we provide our clients with custom-tailored, integrated “total solutions”.
PRE-DESIGN
Project success is, to a significant degree, pre-determined by critical decisions that precede building design. We are specialists in helping you make informed pre-design decisions through the following services:
• Conceptual Site Validations
• Roadmaps to Development Order
• Find-The-Right-Site Reviews
• Comparative Site Analysis
• Existing Building Evaluations
• Facility Programming/Budgeting
ARCHITECTURE
Successfully created Architecture is a direct result of effective client/design team collaboration in defining your project vision and translating your vision into a reality within your budget and schedule. Our technology-assisted design process:
1) enables you to make timely and informed decisions throughout the design process;
2) translates those decisions into clear and complete costing and construction documents; and
3) delivers the constructed outcome per your expectations.
A representative listing of services is as follows:
• Concept design/schematic design
• Design performance modeling
• Building energy modeling
• Design development
• Value engineering
• Construction/permit documents
• Bidding/negotiation
• Construction administration – basic and enhanced
• Project closeout
• Maintenance and operations plans
• Post occupancy evaluation
INTERIOR DESIGN
The experience of architecture is optimized through the specialty of Interior Design. From our firm’s earliest days, we have offered Interior Design as a discreet specialty and as a fully integrated dimension of our architecture. Our Interior Design service offerings range from specifying interior building finish systems to the complex design of hundreds of work stations. A representative listing of services is as follows:
• Space planning
• Structural interior design (SID)
• Comprehensive interior design (CID)
• Furniture / Fixture / Equipment specification / Procurement/ Installation
• Corporate space and furniture standards
• Master planning
• Graphics / Way finding
• Art selection / Integration
• Move planning / Coordination
• Ergonomics
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
BTA has been a regional and national pioneer of Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation since 2006. As a key contributing author of the National BIM Guide for Owners, we understand how to harness the power of “BIM Done Right” in optimizing its value. Examples include:
• Informed decision making and effective stakeholder communication from 3D and 4D design visualization
• Optimized building design through model-based analyses that fosters enhanced building performance
• Risk mitigated schedule and budget protection from virtual building system coordination/clash avoidance that evaluates how building systems interconnect
• Streamlined operation and maintenance data from BIM providing enhanced usability for facility management
• Enhanced tools for achieving and validating sustainability goals throughout the building life cycle
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Sustainable design, approached the right way, is the responsible thing to do from both a social and financial perspective. We at BTA maintain a high level of technical competence and proficiency in understanding the latest “green” building concepts, trends, materials, and technologies. With this knowledge and expertise we are able to incorporate sustainable design applications that complement your project vision and meet your return on investment (ROI) objectives. Common outcomes include:
• Enhanced indoor environment quality
• Increased occupant health and productivity
• Increased energy efficiency
• Increased efficiency in the use of resources
• Waste and pollution reduction/mitigation
• Increased use of recycled and recovered materials
