Setting You Up For Long-Term Success
Have a bond issue coming up?
OK, first — take a deep breath and relax!
We promise it’s not as scary as it seems!
While bond issues seem intimidating with their many moving parts (financials, demographics, legal issues), with the right partner (hey, that’s us!) they can be a fulfilling process that delivers benefits for decades.
Our team has worked with many school districts and municipalities on bond issues.
With our collaborative approach, data-driven planning, and powerful rendering capabilities, you’ll have all the tools you need for a successful campaign.
Successful Referendum Campaigns
Bringing Everyone Together
Making sure that everyone in your community is heard, respected, and valued is key to a successful campaign.
We see our role in the design process as facilitators. We take a highly collaborative approach, bringing all members of your project team — Owners, key stakeholders, and consultants — to the table as equal partners. This Owner-led process can include as many stakeholders as you choose.
By synthesizing input from all of your stakeholders, we deliver a design everyone can get behind.
Data-Driven Planning
Accurate and clearly presented data helps to convince stakeholders of the need for new or improved facilities.
Tools such as our SNAP (Space Needs Assessment Program) efficiently gather and document input from your stakeholders. With SNAP, you have a facts-based tool to refer to for decision-making.
