Built to Work. Together.

From strategy sessions to site walk-throughs, we keep architecture, engineering, and interior design moving in sync throughout the project. This streamlined approach fosters clear communication and understanding among all stakeholders, allowing innovative ideas to flourish and preventing them from getting lost in translation.

All Under One Roof. For a Reason.

At Arium AE, our architects, MEP engineers, and interior designers work together from day one. It’s faster, smoother, and just makes more sense. Whether you’re planning a secure SCIF, refreshing an office space, or working through LEED or Green Globes goals, our integrated team keeps things on track and on budget.

The Arium Process

Project Kickoff

What We Do

We start by getting aligned with your needs.
In the kick-off meeting, we’ll confirm goals, scope, and schedule, or LEED requirements.
We’ll walk through your priorities, flag any early challenges, and explain the phases ahead.
It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and share what success looks like.

Survey

What We Do

At this stage, we review and copy for your file all existing as-built documents.
If required, our teams visit the site to measure and confirm existing conditions.

Program

What We Do

We prepare CAD floor plans based on survey or available documents and provide a PDF to you.
When appropriate, we bring in our in-house MEP engineers to identify opportunities and any issues.

Test Fit and Schematics

What We Do

We create a preliminary layout based on your goals.
Using field data, we develop a test fit that highlights key features.
This phase helps you visualize space requirements and ensures we’re aligned before design refinement.

Design Development

What We Do

We translate your needs into a comprehensive plan.
This phase covers details such as wall types, finishes, lighting, HVAC, and built-ins.
We document key decisions, refine details, and ensure the design aligns with requirements.

Architecture and MEP Documents

What We Do

After design approval, we produce detailed, compliant drawings for permits, bidding, and construction.
This includes architectural plans and MEP engineering documents.
These drawings transform the vision into a coordinated, buildable set ready for execution.

Construction Administration

What We Do

We help turn plans into reality.
We assist with permitting and contractor selection.
We stay engaged during construction to answer questions and resolve field issues.
We ensure design intent is upheld.
If your project pursues LEED certification, we’ll manage documentation throughout construction.

Post Occupancy Support

What We Do

We ensure a smooth transition from build to occupancy.
We finalize LEED certification submission if required for your project.
We remain a resource as your space comes to life and can answer any questions you may have.
