NW Architecture

Executive Summary

NW Architecture will be an architectural firm specializing in residential, commercial and industrial architecture in domestic and international markets based out of the Bay Area near San Francisco, California. The firm will provide architectural services using technologically superior processes, providing greater value for clients and enhanced design and construction.

The target client is segmented into four categories; home owners, developers, government, and contractors. NW Architecture’s competitive edge will be the knowledge of digital-based design resources. Superior customer service will also be a point of firm differentiation.

First year sales are expected to reach $102,000 and increase to $500,000 by the third year of operation. We will be profitable within three years of starting.

The most significant challenges ahead include securing a suitable location, establishing the initial client base, and ultimately positioning the firm to be able to have a presence in a larger, global market.

This business plan outlines the objective, focus, and implementation of this start-up firm.

1.1 Mission

NW Architecture offers a new type of digital interactive media for both the client and the builder. This media will clearly show the client and the builder exactly what the design will look like and the method of construction.

With this new form of media the client doesn’t have to know anything about architectural graphics or terminology (floor plans, sections, elevations & construction documents) to have a clear understanding of what the end result will look like. This is possible through the use of computer-rendered images and interactive video.

This media will be taken one step further by using it in the construction documents as well. The builder will be provided with an interactive video rendering of the entire building containing both visual photographic quality images and construction specs. Every last detail will be worked out in three dimensions in such a way that anyone who knows how to use a computer will be able to access and understand this new means of architectural presentation.

1.2 Keys to Success

  1. Provide a service that is technologically superior to the competition’s.
  2. Utilizing a diverse staff of architects to provide a wide variety of product styles.
  3. A large array of global connections.

1.3 Objectives

  1. Sales of $500,000 in Year 3 and $700,000 by Year 4.
  2. Market expansion of 20% per year via the Internet.
  3. Creating new niche in market by Year 4 of three dimensional construction documents and interactive digital presentation to clients.

NW Architecture will provide it’s service to home owners who are looking to remodel, as well as developers, contractors and government agencies in the domestic and international markets. Although we are going to cater to a relatively broad scope of customers, the company will decide what the target market is based on sales and trends experienced in the initial months of operation.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Potential clients for NW Architecture’s market is broken down into four categories: home owners, developers, government, and contractors. Home owners are the largest group based on shear population and this will be emphasized in all of the firm’s marketing and promotional efforts. Targeting the remaining three groups will be dependant upon establishing meaningful relationships, and responding and qualifying for request for proposals.

4.2 Service Business Analysis

The architecture business across the country is primarily made up of small- to mid-sized firms specializing in a particular architectural type. But there are also a few large firms that have almost dominated the design of large commercial and industrial facilities.  NW Architecture’s main competitors will be the larger firms.  The reason for this is that the larger firms have more capital to work with, which enables them to keep up with technological changes much quicker than a small firm.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

In the first year of business, NW Architecture will focus on the bay area in California. As the firm grows, sales will expand throughout California and across the country, eventually spreading worldwide.

5.1 Sales Strategy

“Sales” in this business is a direct result of exceptional client service. It is based on the firm’s image and the referrals that result. The more clients this company pleases, the more referrals are given. We will work to provide a positive experience in all cases so our clients will refer and return to us for future work as well.

5.1.1 Sales Forecast

Sales are broken down into three categories: design, production, and construction. These three categories put together make up one architecture project. The totals for each project are based on a 10% cut from the total construction costs of each job. The following table and chart provides an overview of our forecast sales.  Actual sales could vary depending on the project size and budget.

Subtotal Direct Cost of Sales $1,250 $1,250 $2,500

5.2 Competitive Edge

This company will have a competitive edge over both the larger and smaller firms because it will be composed of the new generation of architects which are fluent in the digital world. Many firms today employ an older generation of architects which find the computer a mystery, and those that do use the computer only have the ability to design in 2-D.
