International Code Council 6 Larch Ave., Suite 398 Wilmington19804 (P) 302-998-7615 (F) 302-998-7685 Our design approach is focused on the collaboration of ideas and clear communication among the project team. This communication starts with understanding the project goals and site constraints. By working closely with the client, owner, agency, or board, we assist in reviewing or further defining attainable project goals and explore opportunities to develop creative solutions. By establishing a clear understanding of these objectives, the project team is able to ensure timely on budget service, with an emphasis on exceptional design, documentation, and technical expertise. In the US, buildings account for 70% of electricity usage and almost 40% of total energy consumption. Construction uses 40% of our raw materials. Clients of all types, from private homeowners to commercial developers, are increasingly aware of the cost savings and environmental benefits of reducing these numbers. With a LEED Accredited Professional on staff, FC Architects can assist with efficient, environmentally-oriented building projects. The process involves many factors, including site design, building design, and materials selection. However, even conventional buildings can achieve 'green' status by making smart and effective decisions to improve the environmental impact. Many of these options can save money both in initial cost and lifecycle operating cost.
