Architecture is hard.
Let’s create some anyway…
The Latest…
You’ve visited countless spaces – some for lease and some for sale. You’ve poured over sales sheets and compared costs. You’ve done the research and have decided to buy or lease some new office space. Are you sure you’re ready to sign?
Hint: They’ve taken the workshop with JC ROBBINS ARCHITECTURE for teachers, school groups or others interested in understanding the process of architecture.
A well organized competition can raise the level of design propositions for projects.
The Value of Early Design Exploration
Regardless of the size or type of project, getting started on the right path early in your project process will save you time and money giving you a better result.
The nature of today’s consulting practice with increasing technology and reporting requirements means many architects won’t be able to work with you as closely as they would like to resulting in fewer opportunities to influence your architectural project.
A lack of communication will be the greatest risk to the success of your project.
JC ROBBINS ARCHITECTURE’s experience in the collaborative and deadline focused world of theatrical and film production will ensure the success of your project.
Architecture is hard. JC ROBBINS ARCHITECTURE is here to help.
Start With an Options Review
An Options Review is our chance to talk about your project goals and identify risks you may encounter. After this free 20 minute call we are able to move into the Options Analysis.
An Options Analysis examines a project’s viability to determine the preferred course of action and ensures all your requirements and expectations are clearly identified.
An Options Analysis will often examine the choice between the Status Quo, Renovation or New Construction, and review risk factors relevant to the type of project. How detailed you make the Options Analysis is up to you, but the more detail developed at the very front end of a project, the fewer surprises you will find as you move into design & construction.
The last thing you want is to commission a $75,000 feasibility study that recommends a $40 million facility when you know you can really only confidently raise $10 million. It is very difficult to go back to the funders for a new study.
Book a 20 minute call about your project to learn:
☑ The steps to clearly identify, define and implement your project
☑ How to organize your internal team and consultants for success
☑ The top 3 moments in the process where you can lose control of your project (and how to avoid them)
The JCRA Approach
1. IDENTIFICATION – What Do You Need & Why?
2. DEFINITION – The Design Phase
3. IMPLEMENATION – The Construction Phase
Let’s figure out what you need.
It starts with why…
We need a [blank] so that [blank].
We need a new carpentry shop so that we can build our own sets.
What do we need this space to do?
We need to be able to build scenery that is 24′ tall, store material, tools, have room to paint, and load out the completed set.
How much will this cost me?
5,000 sq ft building x $250 / sq ft x permits, fees & administration @ 1.5X multiplier = $1.875 million
Is my project feasible?
You’re on your way!
Let’s design your new space
Let’s find everyone a seat on the bus…
What are we building…?
How will we build it…?
Construction drawings.
These construction drawings and specifications become our contract documents.
It’s time to build!
Let’s put it all together
Who is building it and how they’re being paid
Tender & Bids
Addenda
Permits
RFIs, SIs, & PCNs – oh my!
The response can come in the form of a Supplemental Instruction (SI) at no cost or a Proposed Change Notice (PCN) which will change the value of the construction contract.
How is it all going?
It’s the responsibility of the contractor to “approve“ submittals and confirm they work on site.
Substantial Completion
Yay!

We Couldn’t Be Happier
Jason’s design process started by engaging our team in a series of discovery meetings wherein everyone on the team voiced their hopes and ideas for the new space. Jason adroitly incorporated all of these ideas in the design truly making it feel professional, innovative and functional. His engagement with us amplified our team’s cohesion, joined us in a shared vision of the company’s future and gave us a new home. We couldn’t be happier with our partnership with JC Robbins Architecture.
Crucial to our Success
It was wonderful working with Jason, his knowledge, professionalism and clear understanding of the specific challenges of our organizational projects was invaluable. His ability to speak on our behalf about our needs and protecting our interests was crucial for us. I highly recommend Jason to whomever wishes to engage him.
