Hello there. Welcome to the page we created specifically to help you understand the complexities of creating your built environment. When it comes to this topic, let us help you navigate through the seemingly countless issues that can surround any project. Pull up a seat. Grab your coffee, tea or sparkling water. Peruse the small library we’ve laid out with you specifically in mind. Wade through the various additional resources provided as we are more than aware the AIA CA is not your only source (just your only stop. See? It’s all about convenience here).
