Designing Technology Around People and Space

We think holistically about buildings.

That means understanding how technology, architecture, MEP systems, and real-world use intersect—and making decisions early that prevent coordination problems later.

Why Architects Bring Us In During Concept & SD

Technology decisions made late tend to force design compromises.

When we’re involved during concept and schematic design, technology becomes part of the architectural conversation—not a constraint that shows up after layouts, ceilings, and adjacencies are already set.

We help architects:

asterisk Corporate & Commercial Anticipate technology requirements before they harden into problems

asterisk Translate how spaces will be used into technical and spatial needs

asterisk Budget accurately for technology

Where We Fit on Your Projects

When building technology is spread across multiple vendors, architects are left managing a series of one-off coordination conversations. The role of the TechGC is to bring those systems together under a single organizing logic—so communication stays centralized, responsibilities are clear, and nothing slips through the cracks as the project moves forward.

A Holistic Partner Across Disciplines

We support architects through every phase of the project:

asterisk Concept, Strategy, and Design

(Divisions 25, 26, 27, 28)

asterisk RFP Administration and Procurement

asterisk Technology Project Management during Construction

asterisk Pre-wire, rough-in, trim-out, installation, and commissioning

asterisk Systems training and post-occupancy support

Our end-to-end support keeps early design decisions intact through construction and closeout.

The result: fewer surprises, cleaner coordination, and buildings that perform as intended.

Explore How This Plays Out Across Project Types

Different building types bring different constraints.

These pages dive deeper into how we support architects in specific contexts:

asterisk Corporate & Commercial

asterisk Multifamily & Affordable Housing

asterisk Luxury Residential

Each page reflects the realities, tradeoffs, and technology priorities unique to that work.

Let’s Talk Through Your Project

If you’re in concept or schematic design and want a partner who can take full ownership of technology decisions, we’d love to talk.

We’re equally comfortable shaping strategy early—or stepping in later to help resolve challenges when needed.
