Mission Statement
“Aspire to be the best in all you do and bring others with you along the way.”
Process
SDK Architects employs Building Information Modeling (BIM) in its development of designs, from initial conception through final construction and management of the built environment. BIM is the most current approach used in the industry primarily for its ability to clearly communicate design intent and content. Vast amount of information is embedded in common elements of the digital model becoming a valuable resource to Owner, Architect and Builder. Clients understand and relate to the proposed design solutions much more thoroughly and with greater depth of understanding.
Team
SDK Architects has at its disposal a wide range of consulting engineers, artists and digital animators that are drawn upon as need arises. Each team is assembled on a “per-project” basis, offering the highest level of quality service to our clients and, at the same time, managing these costs for the benefit of client and firm. Whether in-house or consultant, SDK Architects brings a team approach to your design challenge, coordinating all aspects of the work, resulting in an exceptional design solution.
