"Nearly two-thirds of owners indicated a decline in the
quality of design documents and pointed to incomplete
construction documents as the number one reason for
projects going over budget."

Altman & Altman, Architect’s signature strength is well-executed projects. From programming
through construction documents, good project management is the key to success. The first
standard of quality is communication. We establish and maintain regular communication with our
clients, consultants and contractors throughout the project. A web-based project management site
keeps all parties up-to-date in real time.
Maintaining cost control over a project starts at the beginning of the design process with a reconciliation
of the scope of work and budget. A standard of quality is established that meets the budget.
We produce clear, accurate and comprehensive design and construction drawings that result in
competitive bidding, low costs and quality buildings.
We work with our clients to attain the highest standard of quality within the available budget. We
develop plans and specifications that clearly define all aspects of the project, make careful selection
of interior and exterior materials balancing application, aesthetics and budget requirements. We
utilize a timeless design approach that maximizes the useful life of the client’s facilities.
Altman & Altman, Architects is known for high quality construction documents. High quality
construction documents have a positive impact on project cost, project quality, project schedules
and meeting the client’s needs.
