Why do you need an architect to help
you? The
answer is the same for Commercial projects as for Residential
projects, because the law say's you must hire an architect! This
is not capricious, there are dozens of laws and reasons involved,
they all deal with the following issues; life safety and life
welfare of the public at large. Architects are licensed by special
education, extreme testing, long training periods and adherence
to some of the most complex laws in America so that the Public
will be safe.
Can you learn more working with me? Yes.
And so can I learn from you, because at the heart of any successful
project is a trusting and strong relationship backed up by a
contract and facts. I understand that the more knowledgeable
you are about what I do, and visa versa, the more we will fully
participate in the proceeds and enjoy the obvious benefits of
our collaborative effort.
How early should I be involved with
your project? The earlier the better. No matter if you are going
to expand or adapt your current building to a new use or build
a brand new structure, this will represent a sizable investment
for you that will affect the efficiency and productivity of your
company for many years. Smart owners know that they can maximize
their investment in construction by consulting me early. Early
involvement is the key here.
What can I help you to accomplish
early in the project? I can help
you to design the whole project and provide meaningful guidance
for current and future design with costs, before you have committed
to spend your money. I can provide site studies, zoning studies,
help with the approval process, and provide many other subtle
influences by just understanding your business, better. The more
I know about your business, the more creative solutions may be
developed and this could lead to an even more productive and
efficient business for you.
With whom will you be dealing
directly? Me! If a project is
large enough for me to need additional assistance, I will hire
fully trained and capable professionals to produce your buildings
technical documents.
Is this the same person
who will be designing your project? Yes,
I will be the designer and individual responsible for all actions
of Cromlech Architect, P.C.
What is my design philosophy?
I understand that commercial design is
based upon helping the business community to make a profit through
intelligent and tasteful architectural design that is cost effective,
timely and meets unique client goals. Building types may vary,
good business judgement does not.
I have been designing solutions to commercial
opportunities for many years. Buildings I work on can be High
Rise buildings with publishing corporations that occupy many
floors of a mid-town Manhattan location or a single story Car
Wash in the suburbs. Each has an individual need to fulfill for
it's business requirements and each has an unique opportunity
for me to find it's optimum design solution. These buildings
represent a challenge for the Owner, Leasing Principal, Insurance
Agent and Architect. We form the Owners team, all aware of the
assistance each can provide the other to reach a successful resolution
to a construction problem.
I produce designs that are tailored to
solve others peoples problems. Each problem I deal with is unique
and so are the design solutions I create. I am not Frank Lloyd
Wright and you will not be able to identify my work and say,
"Hey look guys, there is another Dale Paegelow designed
building!" If you are interested in an creative individual
solution for your unique needs backed with substance and old
fashioned business knowledge, contact me.
