Iselin, NJ - Because every client is unique, custom tailoring building plans best allows building owners and tenants alike to benefit from increased efficiency and ultimately bolsters productivity and the overall value of a space. By utilizing a “facilities master planner” like The Aztec Corporation, founded in 1993, corporate clients can meet their present goals concerning architecture and interior designas well as their future marketplace needs.
Aztec’s facilities master planner approach to project management was born thanks to this savvy firm’s recognition of the complexities of orchestrating a major construction project, especially for inexperienced business clients. As founder and CEO Charles Logan explains, any given project requires solidification of concepts into blueprints, evaluation of bids from contractors, selection of interior designers, hiring of movers, and consideration of details like color and lighting and furniture styles.
But while most architecture firms handle only the building and/or interior design aspects of a construction project, Aztec seeks to streamline each project by managing all aspects of building planning - thereby removing responsibility from clients and lowering their stress levels. The relationships Aztec has established with the various industries needed to bring a project to fruition gives the firm the insight and knowledge needed to execute plans in a cost- and time-effective manner as well as an edge over the competition. “By creating a single point of accountability,” says Logan, “each facet of construction can be properly coordinated, and decisions can be made from a more holistic perspective.”
Aztec’s comprehensive architectural services are approached from a personal as well as entrepreneurial standpoint, he explains. “We work as though we are using our own capital so that we can ensure that we don’t spend more in time and money than we have to.”
Recently, Aztec was hired by a group of Dover doctors who set out to build a new 60,000 square-foot center to house their respective practices. The doctors, being without expertise on building code, assumed that they would need to install a public restroom, and had budgeted to do so. But Aztec knew from prior experience that this was unnecessary.Aztec reconfigured the number of toilets installed, based on the fact that each suite already contained its own toilets, and saved the group of doctors-turned-landlords on upfront plumbing costs.
