We are small by design to offer our clients experienced hands on service. Larger firms hand down the majority of work to less experienced employees. The partners of Archimage work on all aspects of every project. This provides a high level of professional expertise throughout the design and construction process.
Archimage combines each partner's 30+ years of architecture design experience with state of the art parametric 3D modeling programs allowing the firm to handle projects of any size. The firm uses BIM technology to not only facilitate the design and construction process it provides the owners a platform to track equipment and building materials for the life of the building.
