Client Relationship

AVA is closely attuned to the needs and goals of its clients, with emphasis on cost-effectiveness and project quality. This reflects our belief that any project ultimately has to establish a functional, coherent, efficient and attractive physical environment which contributes to the overall unity of the surroundings, and is acceptable to public agencies and the community. By active communication with our clients, we avoid blind alleys, and so preserve valuable time for developing the best analytic and design ideas.

This multidisciplinary firm is dedicated to planning, cost-effective design and engineering, and construction implementation, in direct and specific response to the client’s needs. We recognize and respect the need for a balance between proper analysis, design expression, and economic viability. Every project, without exception, is taken as a challenge.
