Scheduling Controls

In the past, architecture was traditionally a one stop, all encompassing practice. With the increased demands of a new age, architecture has had to adapt and evolve. In today’s environment, no longer it is possible for one person, or even one firm, to perform all the tasks required to bring a project to fruition. Increased specialization has transformed the architect into a practitioner more closely resembling an orchestra conductor, having to balance and coordinate not only his own work and schedule, but also that of all the members of the Project Team.

Fusco, Shaffer and Pappas, Inc. continually strives to maintain exceptional control of both work quality and scheduling. Our experience has shown that project controls don’t just happen; the must be developed and coordinated.

We believe the keys to the successful completion of any architectural project are the six phase of design. These phases provide the building blocks, which set the tone and structure of any project. These phases are sequential and no phase should be left out.

1. Pre-design & Programming Services
2. Schematic Design
3. Design Development
4. Construction Documents
5. Bidding/Negotiations
6. Construction Administration
