Services
As a licensed professional with many years of experience, we are equipped to provide a range of services that go above and beyond basic architectural design.
Depending on the complexity of your project and your goals, we either refer or hire other licensed professionals as consultants, to do the work that they have expertise in.
We coordinate the entire team, so that you don't have to.
Full architectural services help you take your project from conception to completion in a single stream.
Design solutions that start at a conceptual level and become more refined as various systems are integrated.

We, as Architects, are acutely aware of how design affects building costs since we are directly involved with the all aspects of all our projects.
Our design + build process allows us to develop an estimate as the design progresses.
This allows scope and design decisions to be made based on tangible information.
Once the plans are complete, we are ready to build.
Alternatively, when you hire an architect, this stage can take quite a while as: contractors are interviewed, bids and subcontractor bids are secured, estimates roll in, and plans are modified or even re-designed to fit the budget.

1. Design: During the design process extreme care is taken to orient the building in a way that maximizes all the advantages the sun has to offer.
South facing windows tend to be the largest.
Window shades are used to block unwanted summer solar gain, yet allow solar gain in the winter.
Wall, roof, or lawn areas are dedicated to PV solar collectors.
Energy models are used to determine heat loss and BTU's needed for heating systems.
As the design process proceeds it will yield a cohesive finish design that is both aesthetically appealing and functional in flow and layout.

Design + Build is a project delivery system used in the construction industry that requires an Architect as one of the primary participants to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design-builder or design-build contractor.
Working with TES Design + Build gives you a single source for all of your facility construction needs.
In contrast to "design-bid-build" the concept of design-build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.

What do we mean by the term Sustainability?
The quality of not being harmful to the environmental or depleting natural resources and thereby supporting long term ecological balance.
Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
The United States, one of the a largest consumes of energy, yet we still have a large untapped resources for energy - sun / wind / geothermal.
