“I turn to Stratus Group for my most challenging tech and acoustic design questions. They are always on top of the market trends – but not trying to upsell to the latest fad. It is a great balance to have in a consultant, and as an architect, I trust their advice.”Andrea Korber, Architect/Principal //// Land+Shelter ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING
Assurance
Once the design is complete, our construction management services are available to assure quality is achieved and your investment is realized.
Stratus works with the general contractor to request subcontractor proposals, review them for conformance to prepared plans and specifications, and provide a detailed comparative summary to inform the hiring process.
“I won’t go beyond schematics without a technology consultant, like Stratus Group; as the coordination of all of the technology early is crucial to avoid costly extras, potentially unhappy clients, and to achieve the quality of design clients have hired us for.”Dean Larkin, AIA //// Dean Larkin Design
Your building’s technology will work together – seamlessly, beautifully, intuitively, and reliably – so you can connect with what’s really important.
