Chapter Selection.
Unified Through Innovation
In this edition of Reverberation, we are highlighting four distinct ways we have unified our processes through innovation. First, rigorous alignment with our in-house engineers, Clayco Design & Engineering (CDE). Second, a proprietary construction cost analysis tool. Next, our collaborative efforts on projects in the role of Architect of Record or Design Manager. Finally, our entire firm’s increased commitment to sustainable practices. Through these efforts, LJC has seamlessly integrated the design and construction process, bringing these innovative concepts to life. There ever-evolving ongoing efforts underscore our commitment to excellence in architecture at all scales and levels of collaboration.

Catalyst
LJC excels at delivering inspiring design by streamlining inefficiencies and reducing risks in the building process. To address increasing complexity in design and construction, we developed the Catalyst process, which enhances project feasibility and accelerates conceptual design. This approach fosters early collaboration between clients and design-build teams, leveraging insights from development and construction partners. By aligning design principles with the most appropriate programmatic options, massing strategies, and building systems, LJC ensures innovative, achievable solutions that effectively address project challenges and complexities. Our process sets us apart in the industry through its focus on feasibility and collaboration.
