PROJECT SUCCESS IS A PROCESS

REWARDING TO THE ENTIRE TEAM

Msaada has a long history of crafting attractive, context-appropriate designs worldwide. Our extensive experience allows us to adapt to a wide range of visions, ensuring that we meet the unique goals and needs of our project partners. Though each project is unique, success is created by the process of Planning, Design and Construction.

PLANNING

Bringing your ministry’s vision to life starts with a clear understanding of your needs and goals. Msaada helps you define these requirements through comprehensive programming and an assessment of your current conditions.

Our planning process also includes creating a realistic schedule and cost estimate so the feasibility of a project can be evaluated without substantial investment.

SITE ANALYSIS

  • Evaluate the proposed site
  • Survey existing conditions
  • Discern the objectives of the project through interviews and questionnaires

NEED ANALYSIS

  • Develop a Program of Need (PON) to define the specific spaces required
  • Assign areas to the PON to develop the Project Scope

BUDGET ANALYSIS

  • Develop a Probable Cost Estimate for the project based on local conditions
  • Include contingencies and professional service fees for a complete budget

DESIGN

Using the programming data, we give the vision shape and design. Using 3D computer programs, we develop drawings and images to effectively communicate your vision to potential supporters.

Once funding is secured, Msaada prepares the necessary construction documents. Through attentive listening, we ensure every detail aligns with your ministry’s needs.
