The most important decisions affecting the costs, functions and operational economy of projects are made at the beginning of the project. That's why it is often advantageous to have an experienced architect participate in the work as soon as the strategy and vision are being drawn up and when deciding on the method of implementation.
Today, both construction companies and cities are doing more and more development work. Many projects are also eligible for EU, TEKES or other public funding. In order to prepare a successful application or plot relinquishment competition, the project plan must be of high quality and the application papers and appendices must be compiled properly.
We are one of the few architects' offices that conducts research, see below for examples (see also the reference page).
