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.
