Our Architectural Services

Building our future by developing long term successes with our clients.

Design Process

Involves the five primary phases to take a project from the client’s vision to the physical reality.

Schematic Design

This is the earliest phase in the process where the client’s vision evolves into a project program which defines the functional needs of the project and is expressed through preliminary drawings.

Design Development

This part of the process refines the schematic design by adding more clarity to the project program, adds detail to the design, and integrates building structure and systems into the design.

Construction Documents

This phase in the process takes the prior design phases and adds the remaining information needed to provide a set of documents that can be used for permitting, bidding, and construction.

Bidding and
Negotiation

During this step the architect assists the owner in the process of selecting a Contractor and obtaining construction costs through a procurement method best suited to the client.

Construction
Phase Services

This is the time when the vision, the planning, the design, and the drawing become reality. During this time the architect provides services on behalf of the client to make sure that reality meets the expectations.

Moore and Spence Architects has been a trusted partner of Fowler for more than 20 years and we can testify to their professionalism and personal dedication. They value teamwork, collaboration, and nobody holds the clients’ interests in higher regard.

We have been working with Moore and Spence Architects and John Spence for over 25 years. I have always been impressed by John’s ability to translate our vision into a stunning reality. Our locations stand out as very unique projects in Lee County and featured often in local and national tv stations. Working with John has always been a truly collaborative and enjoyable experience. He and his team were always responsive to our questions and concerns, and they kept us informed every step of the way. We appreciated their ability to listen and incorporate our ideas into the final design.
