Philosophy
Personal, professional
service to our client's within a timely and cost effective manner.
Stewart-Washmuth & Co. works closely with each client. A principal
of the firm is directly responsible, and personally involved with each
project. This allows us to gain first-hand knowledge of the site's
potential and insights into future needs, ensuring that the project will
produce the intended results. Economic, governmental and environmental
constraints are considered throughout the design process. This approach
avoids the need for costly and extensive mid-project revisions.
The most important step we take is in defining the job to be done - all
of the anticipated activities, resources, and end objectives. By
documenting the scope of the project, we can be certain that we are
working within the design parameters to accomplish our client's goals.
Problem solving is our objective. We strive to provide functional
usefulness in a visually stimulating manner, while developing the
strategies appropriate for conserving, preserving and developing our
resources. |
