One Solution" positioning, bundling four integrated service lines: Interior Design (programming, concept development, construction documentation, contract administration, and move management), Furniture (programming, design, custom fabrication, procurement), Signage & Wayfinding (strategy, schematic and design development, documentation, and environmental branding), and 3D Scanning & Capturing (laser scanning with millimeter precision, 360-degree panoramic capture, and CAD model development). Underlying technology includes Building Information Modeling (BIM), CAD-based plan development, laser scanning for as-built documentation, and 3D rendering for visualization.
