We have in-house capabilities to undertake the entire project from inception to completion, including not only architectural / interior design services and also construction management to truncate the overall schedule of design and construction. Our approach recognizes the individual nature and expression of our client.

We believe residential design is personal and is as unique as each of our clients. Our state of the art 3D computer generated plans enables virtual walk-throughs to help our clients envision proposed designs before construction begins.

Interior Design

Design doesn’t end with the exterior walls; the interior of any structure is as important as the outside. We offer a hands-on relationship with our clients like no other, such as reviewing finish selections and 3D modeling, which leads to an intimate and creative design approach. Using state of the art Revit software enables our clients to see images in rendered form on paper prior to embarking into construction often saving thousands of dollars and time in unnecessary costly changes.

These services include structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire alarm, fire suppression and fire sprinkler designs ensuring in-house coordination saving time and money.

Construction Administration & Management

JM2 Architecture, PC offers construction related services to any new construction or addition/alteration project. Once designs are in the construction document development phase JM2 can begin providing construction management services to identify long lead time materials and assist with ordering materials to avoid construction delays. We often prepare scopes of work and conduct a competitive bid process vetting contractors required to undertake the various portions of construction work. We provide samples/submittals and shop drawing reviews to ensure the contractor and/or material suppliers are in compliance with our construction documents. We provide routine site visits and report to the client on the result of each visit to determine the contractor(s) are performing in compliance with our plans and written specifications. Having the architect intimately involved in the construction phase is an invaluable addition to the Owner Contractor team.

Zoning Analysis and Code Review

Every City, Town and Village has its own unique set of rules and restrictions. Our experience with these laws, rules, and regulations allows us to effectively apply these regulations to different aspects of the project. We offer an analysis on any property (site and existing structures) in conjunction with starting a new design project or as a stand-alone assessment for anybody looking to purchase a new property. Starting a project with a clear understanding of within right or whether or not variances are required is essential to planning a project. Our understanding of agency filing sequences and procedures ensures expeditious approvals. Similarly, New York State has a family of codes that regulate how buildings are constructed. JM2 Architecture, PC is fully familiar with these codes and implements them into our building designs saving time minimizing agency objections during plan reviews. We have successfully obtained state variance to building code provisions proven to be too onerous to our clients when other means of achieving the safety can be provided.

Whether it’s a minor addition, expansion, or a new building, we can show the projects final aesthetic potential before breaking ground. Not only does this accelerate the process, but will prevent delays and costly construction changes along the way.

3-D Modeling / Building Information Modeling

Our experienced design team offers the production of a three-dimensional computer model, for Building Information Modeling which prevents potential in-field conflicts, by coordination of trades in tight spaces before work starts. 3D modeling also gives the client a unique view of their future building prior to construction enabling virtual walk-throughs. Being able to see the building design in three dimensions is an invaluable tool for our client’s understanding of our proposed designs.
