The constraint
The work depended on understanding the very detailed needs of aircraft rehabilitation and repair. Draken needed space for office work, technical aircraft parts repair, parts storage, and access for rehabilitating aircraft, and each of those asks something different of a building. Jet maintenance and avionics repair are different kinds of work, at 20,000 and 8,000 square feet, and the outdoor trim pad is used for flight testing. We stayed on through construction administration.
We help Florida owners, developers, and builders get architecture that is buildable, cost-disciplined, and permit-ready, with a partner who stays engaged through construction. Planning an addition to a working facility? Book a first meeting. 863-802-5966
