SERVICES

Architectural Design:  Our development of design concepts is guided by a principal-in-charge working with a staff of professional designers and architects.  We blend functional, aesthetic and human considerations into a workable solution that fits the practical requirements, site conditions, and economics of the project.  Our goal is to allow our creativity to evolve from our analysis and understanding of all facets of the building project, with an eye toward developing a productive and enlightening space for the users.
WHN recognizes and embraces the need for environmentally responsive buildings. For our clients wishing to submit for LEED certification we have LEED certified professionals on staff ready to provide this service. We coordinate all LEED work through our hand-picked team of trusted consultants.

Construction Documents:  Our drawings and specifications allow for the accurate pricing, permitting and construction of a project.  We utilize building information modeling CAD software to consistently track and resolve conflicts with other trade drawings during the drawing production process. This allows for better constructability and saves time during the building process.
Construction Administration:  WHN works hard to assure compliance with construction documents during the building of a project.  Our commitment to hands-on service is again evident during this phase. The design Architect for the project also serves as the construction administrator. We are committed to having at least two people familiar with the project available to address questions during construction.

Technology:  WHN is well-equipped with state of the art computer applications which aid in all areas of project development. We utilize BIM (building information modeling) software, Autocad, and an interactive web-based specification writing system for our design and production work. Our large format printer/scanner allows for fast paper  printing and/or conversion of project files to electronic format for email.

Cost Estimation:  Our estimation group provides cost control monitoring of our projects to assure that we meet budgets.  Project costs are now more than ever continuously changing. We track costs of materials and labor by using recent comparative projects and current local cost trend data and cross check the data through third party review.
