Urban Associates, Inc. tailors its scope of service for each project to meet the individual needs of each client in South Florida, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami Dade counties as well as in all of the New England States, nationally and internationally in Italy and India. We offer our clients and team associates over 40 years of professional experience in the design field, process and methodologies.
We believe that when preparing a site plan low impact development stormwater management design solutions need to be considered at the beginning of the design process and not at the end as currently practiced by other design firms. We also believe that the site design needs to be in harmony with the existing natural and man-made on site conditions while at the same time maximizing the density and usable square footage for our clients.
With each and every client we take the time to evaluate site conditions, regulations, program needs and construction costs before we start our conceptual planning. Serving as the team leader with a collaborative approach, we have been able to achieve award winning designs with substantial construction cost savings and life cycle cost savings for our clients.
We believe the architecture, hardscape and landscape need to be of lasting and unique beauty that will withstand the test of time.
