With intense focus on responsiveness and accountability, IDCA supports successful construction delivery. Our approach fosters respect, trust, and communication among owners, designers, contractors, and jurisdictions.

Advanced Planning

IDCA's early project planning supports critical decision-making and streamlines the design and construction process. We map the efficient use of a project's resources, whether financial, physical, or cultural.

Education

Report

Because different people learn in different ways, higher education institutions are challenged to provide environments that engage students on a variety of levels. The academic experience is no longer confined to the classroom or the teaching lab.

Shuki Einstein, CH2M HILL Global Architectural Lead, outlines how our front-end design activities help to conceptualize new models and approaches to meet a client's sustainability objectives.

Received fantastic service from IDC. Helped and guided us through the planning process with real enthusiasm and professionalism. The end results of both Causeway House and The Old Roller Shed in Cartmel are a fantastic testament to their skills.

Brilliant team, always on hand with advice every step of the way and extremely reliable, and always come back to you without having to chase follow up calls. I totally recommend anybody who needs an architect or help with planning to speak to IDC first. We had horrendous issues with planning and when everyone said it couldn't be done, John, Craig and the team found a way. Cannot praise them highly enough.

It has been a wonderful experience to work with such a talented and committed group of people. In working on various engineering, military, and scientific endeavors over the years, I have never come across a more cohesive, dedicated, personable, professional, and technically competent team of individuals as I have encountered in your company.

Many engineering firms have solid technical people; very few provide people who so readily and willingly integrate into our culture and perform at such a high level as contributing members of our team. You take responsibility for driving projects to closure-no excuses.

From the intense early planning and prototyping sessions through delivery of the construction documents, IDC Architects' design team was highly effective in collecting, organizing, integrating, and presenting complex information, communicating with lab users, and achieving difficult program goals under owner-imposed severe space constraints.

Let me start with the outcome. From the first day our scientists moved into the building, their reception has been tremendous (and they are tough to impress). From the lab space, the use of natural lighting, the laboratory functionality, the ease of co-mingling across groups due to the lab and office layout, the auditorium-all have had a huge impact on the organization.
