A Multidisciplinary "Design Studio"

 

QAI was built on Al Quattrone’s concept of the “Design Studio”, which creates a unique atmosphere where the interdisciplinary professionals interact more fluidly with each other throughout each project. It encourages the advancement of design ideas and prompts discussions of possible project opportunities or constraints. This approach requires our professional level staff to participate “hands-on”, to a large degree, in the production of each project. Therefore, in contrast to traditional engineering and planning corporate structures, the design studio has a higher ratio of licensed professionals to support staff. Further, each professional discipline taking an active role in the design process identifies potential pitfalls and uncovers possible opportunities while the project is in the design phase.

 

The permeation of the design studio concept throughout the company has resulted in lower overhead expenses and increased production capabilities. This can be clearly seen by QAI’s stability during the 2007-2009 recession. In an atmosphere of corporate downsizing, QAI proved to be an efficient and responsive organization that thrives by client satisfaction and return customers. This concept and approach to project management are beneficial in the following ways.

• QUALITY DESIGNS QAI’s methodology produces project designs that fulfill the client’s needs and wants. It creates innovative designs that facilitate construction and enhance utilization and aesthetics. The beauty of form and function are balanced with value engineering.
• EXPEDIENCE QAI can formulate solid designs and carry them through the permitting process and produce construction and bid documents with great efficiency. QAI will compress the permitting and document production phases by reducing the sufficiency processes.
• RESPONSIVENESS The key contact with our clients is the license holding professional who has hands on experience with the project. Reaction to changes in the project or the addition of client and public input are timely. Integration of these changes into the project design are efficient between the professional disciplines.
• COST EFFICIENCY Lower overhead and higher production translate into a very competitive company. QAI has the equivalent design capabilities of much larger, less efficient traditional design corporation. This makes QAI the best choice for your project.
