Strategic Services

Since 1969, Design Workshop has successfully completed award-winning projects involving land planning, urban design, resort, tourism and community planning. Experience has taught us that integrating research and analysis strategies with planning and design has a monumental impact on the success of a project. Our expertise includes market analysis, financial feasibility studies, development strategies and development management. We advise our clients on what to build and where to build it – or whether to build it at all. These strategic services give the client an overview of a project prior to any design stage. The information allows us to anticipate the challenges our client could face – and plan for how to resolve them – long before commitments are made or dollars spent.

The best physical plans grow from market demand, and the most sustainable projects are based on realistic analyses of economic and environmental benefits and costs. We often begin with a comprehensive due-diligence investigation and continue throughout the project, from concept, analysis, entitlement and planning to construction and marketing. Firm-wide coordination of information promotes the most realistic approach to timelines, budget considerations, project issues and community concerns. It allows the client to balance the inherent economic factors of development with conservation principles to create a sustainable and financially beneficial project. Strategic services can be commissioned as a standalone service or as a complement to Design Workshop’s planning and design work, providing clients with the added benefit of our extensive planning and design knowledge.
