Among the things that define us as an organization, community engagement is paramount. It is not just something that we do, but it is part of who we are. Over 15 years ago, SHP Leading Design decided that to better respond to the needs of our clients, we should get to know them a little better.
SHP began to investigate the best customer-focused product development processes in the world and ultimately applied this thinking to architecture. This led to the development of a highly participatory community engagement program that includes both qualitative and quantitative research through focus groups, design teams and surveys. Our collaborative nature embraces both client values and stakeholder ideals. We have found that the best projects not only investigate the wants, needs and desires of the community, but also incorporate those ideas into the design.
As technology has grown, so has the way we offer our services. Enriching our services with leading-edge technologies, we employ Turning Point and Building Information Modeling software. With Turning Point, participants are given a hand-held device where they can vote live and instantaneously see the results. The results are objective responses that reflect true community views and provide a building as unique as the community it serves.
