Architectural & Project Management Services
ISA Architecture services are structured to provide end-to-end project delivery and client support, from early feasibility through construction. Our services reduce regulatory risk, control costs, and support successful outcomes for residential and small-to-mid-scale mixed-use projects.
Focused experience delivering housing and mixed-use developments that benefit from efficient delivery, predictable approvals, and well-managed construction processes.​
1
Feasibility & Pre-Design Analysis
Early-stage evaluation of zoning, code requirements, site constraints, and regulatory risks to establish project viability, reduce uncertainty, and inform sound decision-making before design begins.
2
Zoning & Regulatory Coordination
Strategic guidance through zoning boards, planning departments, historic commissions, and other authorities having jurisdiction to streamline approvals and minimize delays.
3
Design & Development
Translation of feasibility findings into a clear architectural direction that balances design intent, efficiency, and constructability.
Includes creation of initial design concepts and layouts, focused on usable area and operational performance while considering early alignment and coordination of systems (Structural and MEP).
Further developed into defined, code compliant and coordinated dimensional drawings that establishes the clarity necessary for accurate pricing and efficient next steps.
4
Permit & Construction Documentation
Comprehensive architectural documentation developed to support both efficient permitting and successful construction. Drawing sets are prepared with early integration of zoning, building code, and energy requirements, while emphasizing constructability, coordination, and clarity to reduce review cycles, redesign, and construction change orders.
5
Permitting & Approvals
Management of regulatory processes to keep projects moving forward efficiently. Includes Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) coordination, permit review responses and approval strategy support through the different departments and commissions, as applicable.
6
Construction Administration
Ongoing architectural support during construction to clarify intent, review submittals, respond to field conditions, and help maintain schedule, budget, and quality.
Includes project coordination and consultant management to ensure construction alignment with design intent, fewer conflicts and smoother execution across disciplines.
7
Renovations, Additions & Adaptive Reuse
Targeted expertise in upgrading and repurposing existing buildings, including projects subject to complex code, zoning, and historic constraints.
