When it comes to building a new facility, early planning with the client, sustainability costpayback analysis, and thorough programming are essential. The Lawrence Police Headquarters serves as a prime example of how taking this approach can stretch your budget further than originally anticipated. Hoefer Welker created a program for the future, focusing on what the facility required today, tomorrow, and over the next 25 years. By doing so, they were able to build over one-third more scope than initially thought possible. This kind of strategic planning, where today’s decisions have a long-lasting impact, ensures that the facility can adapt and expand in the future without requiring costly renovations or rebuilding. A thoughtful approach like this truly maximizes your investment and takes advantage of every dollar.
