FOKUS on Architecture, Inc. emphasizes and promotes active communication with the Owner and User groups, and encourages their full participation in the project from preliminary design to final completion. The exchange of information by frequent meetings, the preparation of written reports and documentation of decisions, and actions taken on time-sensitive issues, is crucial to the successful completion of a construction project. The majority of our projects are from repeat clients whom we serve on their everyday needs and requirements to ensure successful operations of their facilities and the people they serve.

FOKUS on Architecture, Inc.’s comprehensive services are readily available to building owners, private businesses, public institutions, contractors, medical facilities and networks and property developers.  We understand each construction project is unique, and every Owner has the right to expect an excellence of design which is respectful of the budget, facilitates the intended purpose of the building, and is a source of pride and enjoyment in the future.  Meeting these Owner expectations is our firm’s pleasure, commitment, and mission.

Our project experience includes new construction, additions and remodeling, and the renovation of existing buildings. Our staff utilizes the latest versions of Autodesk software including Revit and BIM applications as well as other 3D modeling applications for visualization and analyzing purposes. It is our stated goal to provide our services in a timely manner, within budget, and with a minimum of Change Orders. Previous experience on numerous local construction projects has enabled us to develop a familiarity and effective working relationship with our consulting engineers, contractors, and the sub trades.
