“The programming process was very successful, and the programming document with individual rooms was very useful. It allowed the users to see that their comments had been captured in a form they could understand.”
Mark Regester - City of Tempe Police Department.
Pre Design

Before we ever lay pencil to drafting paper (or hand on mouse, as it were) Arrington Watkins is often asked to study and establish the needs of the owner, select the site to be used, develop a 10 year plan, establish a conceptual cost of a project, and to assist clients in selling this information to the public, elected officials and their own staffs.
That is why we offer a wide variety of pre-design services to our clients, including:
- Site Analysis and Selection
- Needs Assessments
- Architectural Programming
- Masterplanning
- Project Budgeting
- Public Presentations
We have a very successful, unique, interactive, grass-roots process that we customize for each project. We would love the opportunity to walk you through that process.
