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.

Pre-Referendum Planning Process

  • Visioning

    Building stakeholder and community consensus around your most important goals and issues.

  • Interpretation

    Organize and prioritize facility needs and wants.

  • Planning Options

    Concept options are presented to stakeholders to determine best elements.

  • Preferred Concepts

    Preferred program and concepts developed based on final input.

  • Presentation

    Final concepts presented to the public.

Renderings and Visualizations

Our powerful rendering capacities deliver compelling visualizations that sell your vision to your community. These visualizations can range from loose and sketchy to photorealistic, depending on which style you think will best communicate your message.

We also have the capacity to create 3D virtual walkthroughs, which allow your stakeholders to experience the space in motion.

Community Engagement

Our team members will assist you with selling your bond issue to the community by helping with presentations, town halls, and other community engagement sessions.
