Preliminary Design
During the initial phases of a project, we develop basic floor plans and the exterior look of the building. Site access and compatibility with surroundings are taken into account. We work with the Owner, the Owner's personnel, and in certain cases, outside consultants. Several versions of the design evolve into an acceptable solution. Our staff will produce color renderings and/or scale models for use in promotion, fundraising or merely as a means for better understanding of the finished product.

Construction Documents
During the documents phase, we continue to refine the design. Drawings are created using CAD software. Structural elements are integrated with the plan. Mechanical systems are coordinated. A complete set of working drawings and specifications result.

Governmental Approval
Our office will coordinate submittal of the project for state and local approval. We will prepare the necessary forms, documents and drawings. We will be available for any required public meetings or hearings.

Bid and Contract Administration
We distribute construction documents to contractors along with a bid form in one of several formats. Bids for alternate methods, materials, or for more or less building area give an Owner options for budgeting. During construction, we monitor progress payments and verify cost changes.

Construction Observation
Throughout construction, the project manager will visit the site on a regular basis. We provide support to the contractors and assist the Owner in selecting finishes. We will also coordinate project meetings as work progresses. At the end of the project, we perform final inspection with the Owner. Finally, we prepare operational and maintenance information for the Owner's staff.

Post Construction
This office is available after the Owner takes occupancy of the building to consult on any matter that may arise.

We strive to provide full service
and a quality product for all of our clients.


Good Buildings are...

Good buildings are designed to endure. We believe in simple, flexible designs, constructed of long-lasting materials. Both office and industrial spaces are open and full of natural light.

Good buildings are the result of personal interest, involvement and commitment. A lifetime of work responsive to each project and the client's unique needs are witness to talent, staff, experience and responsibility within the profession. Repeat clients verify this. Family, associates and friends live, work, shop and play in many of the over 300 building projects completed by this company over more than four decades. Things done both right and wrong are always close at hand continually providing feedback for buildings yet to come and ways to do things better.



History

Kueny Architects was born out of a private practice founded in 1959 by Robert M. Kueny. In 2000, Mr. Kueny initiated the formation of Kueny Architects, LLC, with Linda Young, Jon Wallenkamp and John Schmidbauer -- employees for between ten and fifteen years.

In the over 45 years of existence this office has completed hundreds of projects in and out of the Kenosha Area. We continue to follow the philosophy of the man whose name is on our door.
