“The young professionals of Greenleaf Architects are creative, caring, with cutting edge technology and a hometown spirit. They approach business and community with consistent positive progression.”

As in the case of many new corporate headquarters, a company has outgrown their current space.  In the case of this project, not only was growth an issue but improving spaces to cultivate increased collaboration, improve productivity and overall provide spaces that attract bright tech-based employees. … And do it quickly!

The owner-provided budget of $12 Million for construction and an additional $3 Million for fixtures, furnishings, and equipment was not flexible.  Nor was the completion date for the 65,000 SF corporate headquarters.  Greenleaf has worked closely with Donahue Favret Construction in a Design-Build manner to provide the client Pre-Construction Services prior to design document completion.  The project was priced within budget and remains to be the case thanks to that process.  No true “value engineering” phase occurred allowing the design team to maintain the schedule originally set as well as the aesthetic desired.
