CORPORATE AND COMMERCIAL

Corporate and commercial projects require a careful balancing of the three key factors of function, environment, and constructability. On any given project, “the constraints of the site, the project’s functional requirements, or a tight construction budget may have a predominant influence, but we always consider all three parameters in formulating a project’s design.” (Richard Balcom, principal.)

CDS prides itself on achieving the difficult balance between function and form, commerce and community, efficiency and environment, with every commercial project we undertake.
