Master Plan Projects
​

Projects almost always need to be designed with the anticipation of future growth. Additions to existing facilities require thoughtful planning to enhance the project within which it is to be integrated. SCArchitect, Inc studies each project to ensure the needs of our clients are met with regards to future growth with minimal interruption to existing operations. It is our desire that any addition to an existing facility become a part of the whole and as such blends into the original design to present a unified solution that is esthetically correct to form and is functional to the client’s program.

​
Reconstruction/ Modernization Projects
​

SCArchitect, Inc Realizes that our clients’ needs and operations may change as years pass and many spaces become congested and begin to function inefficiently. The firm has completed reconstruction/modernization projects ranging from deferred maintenance such as re-roofing and HVAC upgrades to comprehensive modernization of entire systems and spatial re-programming.

​
Structural Evaluation and Seismic Retrofit
​

Our team of professional consulting engineers are both knowledgeable and experienced at evaluating the structural integrity of structures and providing comprehensive solutions that will qualify the structure to meet the California seismic codes. SCArchitect, Inc works with our team of engineers to ensure that the structural solutions are both financially and esthetically fitting to our clients’ needs and wishes.

​
Assessment of Facility Needs
​

SCArchitect, Inc has had extensive experience evaluating existing facilities for compliance with Federal and State Building and Accessibility codes. Recent projects include modernization of schools and Facilities Needs Assessments for several school districts. Quite often we are asked to place Relocatable Classrooms on an existing campus. We understand that even the addition of one classroom can trigger many other code issues. Therefore, an analysis of existing accessibility features to determine upgrades that the Division of State Architect, Fire-Life -Safety and Access Compliance will require from Path of Travel to public way, accessible parking spaces, accessible restrooms, drinking fountains, to fire alarms, gate access, fire flow, assistive listening devices and playgrounds can be performed to ensure our clients’ projects meet current codes.

For those potential clients who have not worked with an architect before, there are a number of questions that typically arise.
