MITCHELL ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS, PLLC is focused exclusively on emergency services and is committed to assisting communities to develop cost-effective, durable, state of the art facilities. This focus is supported by a depth of experience gained over 20 years in design, construction, evaluation, and renovation of fire stations, with projects involving over 160 emergency services facilities throughout the Northeast, Eastern Seaboard, Missouri, Texas and Alaska. We excel in performing feasibility studies that compare renovations and additions versus demolition and reconstruction, and have just authored the chapter on renovation for the new fire station design textbook being published by the International Association of Fire Chiefs. Our extensive public safety experience results in knowledge-based critical thinking that creates cost- effective, innovative designs that are particularly well suited to our client's needs. In addition to design, we can actively lead our clients through the complete process, including feasibility studies, financial planning, programming and project design, probable construction cost estimating, value engineering, financial analysis, bidding, contract negotiations and construction administration. With experience in building as well as design, Mitchell Associates understands probable construction cost estimating and value engineering techniques. This experience is reflected in the cost control measures we employ at all stages of our work as well as the project and schedule controls we use throughout the project.
