Team Organization
We build teams to match the needs of each project. Led by a project principal, a project manager, a project architect and an interior designer, each team stays together from project inception to conclusion. We employ an integrated, quality-based design methodology in our work process, and, as an architecture-based design practice, we engage independent engineers and specialized technical consultants to support our in‐house teams. Our model-making, graphic design, and IT staff support the work of the teams.

Visualization
We employ powerful visualization software and other media to communicate and test design concepts. These formats include physical and virtual modeling, photo-realistic synthetic imaging, and fly-over and tour-though animation.

Building Information Modeling
Our teams utilize 3-D Building Information Modeling (BIM) for all architectural projects. From the inception of the work we construct in 3-D virtual space, creating content-rich design information that connects our work to product data, material and systems behaviors, quantities and cost data. Our ability to describe buildings in this medium and to predict building behavior, including energy performance, builds trust and confidence, improves communication, reduces coordination conflicts, and increases savings in construction cost.

Sustainability and LEED®
A member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Newman Architects has completed numerous LEED®-certified buildings and has the in-house capability to provide full certification services for architectural projects.

Design Build
Much of our work is provided in a Design-Build environment. Because a single source project delivery approach is often the most logical way to integrate process and design, budget and schedule, we ally with major construction companies from concept through pre-design, design, construction, and post-occupancy. Our experience in a wide range of project types adds value in establishing and meeting program, design, and quality goals.

Participatory Design
Understanding and trust is a key to the multi-constituency projects that our firm often undertakes. Workshops and design charrettes are two common tools we use with institutions, communities, and towns, to give voice to constituencies and to develop and communicate concepts that meet real needs and win support.
