ZHA provides a variety of strategic planning and design services to assist our clients in organizing and defining their facility needs. Since we believe economics plays an important role in the success of all plans and projects, we assist our clients in understanding their business objectives and markets and relate their direct applicability in driving facility requirements.

We also help our clients focus on long-term goals. All short-term plans and projects must be consistent with long-term objectives to optimize value. Properly defining the scope of a project prior to the initiation of detail design and construction saves time, money and enhances quality. Procurement decisions for design and construction services can be made early and provides the widest range of alternatives and cost savings when long-term plans are complete and project scope is defined.

ZHA provides many levels of management and expertise in assisting our clients in implementing their facility requirements. Some of our clients prefer to provide overall management and decision-making and utilize ZHA to serve as an extension of staff during design and construction. ZHA has an extensive variety of experienced professionals available to provide service at the exact times they are needed helping our clients reduce costs by avoiding full time staffing of such expertise in their own organizations.

As project complexity increases or our clients desire not to build internal staff, ZHA can provide additional management expertise for project and program management to assist our clients in the overall coordination and decision making during implementation.

Additionally, when existing facilities experience contamination or damage by environmental events, ZHA provides remedial management to assess, scope, estimate and implement repairs to facilities and allow our clients to continue their focus on their own businesses.
