The Adams Group is nationally acknowledged for our inclusive participatory process. In order to develop environmentally sound and socially responsible design solutions, our firm has developed a range of cost effective techniques for involving large numbers of client groups in the process.

Our design process often begins with formulating the design thesis based on the latest research concerning the project in hand. Interviews with community groups, client groups or future users and walkthrough evaluations are conducted to form a preliminary knowledge base.



Next, our design team conducts meetings and workshops to allow for open discussion of ideas while selecting the best design alternative from the possible options. These meetings are tailored to each project's needs, allowing participants to voice their opinion about their new building.

Design charrettes, workshops and site walkthroughs are conducted to explore options and design concepts responsive to future users while rediscovering the site context, its constraints and realities. The basic organization of the site and the proposed buildings are discussed with consensus arrived at about the future direction and the route to be taken.

Our participatory process continues throughout the project development phases until completion and occupancy. In essence, we are committed to achieving maximum client satisfaction in each phase of the project.
