project management
The nature of Architectural work is highly collaborative, and the PAUA team have extensive experience coordinating and managing projects on clients' behalf.
While larger projects frequently involve independent project managers, Architects understand the whole of the design and construction process probably better than anyone, and are well placed to provide professional advice and assistance throughout your project.
FEASIBILITY
STUDIES
If you are looking to test ideas or establish a business case in order to seek funding, PAUA can assist with a Feasibility Study.
This could be as simple as an initial concept design and an estimate of the construction cost, or we can go into detail, consider additional options, and pull in other consultants to explore the feasibility in more depth.client testimonial
"PAUA Architects went the extra mile in terms of the consultation they undertook, even meeting with groups of staff to develop a clear picture of client preferences. Their easy-going nature and flexible approach, while maintaining a high standard of professionalism, enhanced this aspect of a process which typically can be the most challenging."Alan Frauenstein | Faculty Manager, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, University of Waikato
