BEZEK DURST SEISER :: Architects and Planners Serving Alaska and the Arctic North -- In Anchorage: 907-562-6076

Areas of Expertise: Planning

Thorough planning is at the heart of every successful architecture project. Bezek • Durst • Seiser knows this and so do our clients. Owners, administrators, building committees and facility managers depend on our expertise in site and facility master planning.

During the planning phase of a project, our senior managers work with the client team and stakeholders to explore and define strategic opportunities in the development and renewal of their physical assets.

These opportunities include:

Staffing Efficiencies. Site and facility circulation, activity zone clusters, and support facility locations can have a significant impact on productivity, security and support staff size and retention.

Customer Satisfaction. Ease of way finding, convenient location of services and minimal disruption are important to clients and customers.

Reduced Initial and Long-term Capital and Operating Costs. A site development master plan maximizes the opportunity to build future capacity into utility and site circulation infrastructure — when the cost is relatively cheap and future disruptions can be minimized. A facility development master plan maximizes the opportunity to sustain an appropriate circulation system, reduce demolition and renovation costs and build-in or allow for future system capacity in an efficient manner.
