MAKE BUILDINGS HAPPEN |

A building is a very
personal thing. We understand that. Deciding
when, where and what to build is often the most
important decision an organization can make.
How big? Should we own or lease? Where should
it be? What will it cost? The questions
are huge and, in many cases, organizations don't
have experience answering them.
Since 1994, Synthesis' principals have
used their many years of experience in this field
to help make buildings
happen for non-profit and for-profit companies
and organizations. Most often, we enter the scene
when there's only an idea on the table
and we help an organization turn that idea into
reality. Sometimes, at the request of a client,
we'll jump in after the process has already
started. It's whatever works for our clients
that matters.

One of the primary benefits of our helping you
in this process is that you can keep to your
core business instead of having to shift gears
and become an expert on building buildings and
all that goes with it. This is a full-time job.
Elements of a project need to be addressed every
day and can't be handled adequately in
once-a-week meetings. We stay on top of all the
details so that you can carry on with the important
work that you do.
Plus, we're objective. We're not
affiliated with any architects or contractors.
We are in a position to look objectively at the
sometimes competing internal voices of our clients.
And, as you'll see, we bring our design
background into play. We don't formulate
the designs, but this background often helps
us to identify cost efficiencies and assess budget
realism.

To date, our efforts have concentrated mostly
in the Baltimore and Central Maryland Region.
That's because we like to be close to our
projects and visit often. Synthesis projects
have involved new construction or adaptive
reuse
of existing
structures.
Our backgrounds are varied and strong. We are
experienced in architectural and engineering
design; organizational management in both the
public and private sectors; planning; and institutional,
commercial office, warehouse, and industrial
development.
Our management services are comprehensive. They
can involve a single building or encompass master
planning of a campus or entire business park.
We manage:
| • |
Project facility planning
and feasibility analysis |
| • |
Site identification and
acquisition |
| • |
Selection and direction
of the design and construction teams |
| • |
Project financing |
| • |
Tenant leasing |
| • |
Project design |
| • |
Site and building permit
processing |
| • |
Construcion oversight |
| • |
Coordination of furniture,
fixtures and equipment (FF&E) specification,
procurement and installation |
| • |
Master planning |
|
|
Maybe it's our close association with non-profits,
but when we get involved in projects we truly
get involved. Whether we're working on
a building expansion or an entire campus, it's
not just bricks and sticks to us, it's
personal. We become part of your family. It's
as if we're building something for ourselves.
And time and time again, we save our clients
our fee and then some. In other words, our experience
as engineers, designers,
architects, and managers allows us to find cost
savings in every project we handle. So the bottom
line to our clients is that they, in effect,
often pay nothing for our services.
We thank you for visiting our website. Please
take a moment or two to review some of our completed
project case histories. And if you have any questions
at any time, please contact us.
