New Construction
This process typically begins with feasibility studies, zoning and code analysis, site and utility coordination, and early concept planning, then advances through architectural, structural, civil, and MEP engineering design.
The work also includes preparation of permit and construction documents, life safety and accessibility compliance, value engineering, consultant coordination, and construction administration to help ensure the project is delivered efficiently, code-compliantly, and within budget.

Renovations
These projects usually involve field verification, documentation of existing conditions, demolition planning, evaluation of structural and MEP systems, and design updates tailored to the owner’s new program or operational needs.
​
Renovation work also often requires careful phasing, occupied-space coordination, accessibility upgrades, and targeted permitting support to minimize disruption while improving performance, function, and compliance.

Tenant Improvements
These services generally include lease and landlord criteria review, test fits, space planning, code analysis, interior architectural design, and modifications to lighting, power, HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
Tenant improvement work is centered on creating a functional, compliant, and efficient environment that aligns with operational requirements, brand identity, schedule expectations, and landlord approval processes.

Franchise Build-outs
These projects often require coordination between franchise standards, architectural and engineering disciplines, equipment vendors, and permitting authorities, especially for food service, retail, or specialty-use concepts.
The scope typically includes prototype adaptation, branded interior and storefront coordination, MEP design for specialized equipment, permit management, and construction support, with a strong emphasis on maintaining brand consistency while achieving cost-effective, site-specific implementation.

Permit Violations
Resolve Emergencies
These services typically begin with a review of violation notices, permit history, inspection records, and existing site or building conditions to identify the root cause of the issue and define the corrective path required by the authority having jurisdiction.
The process may include field verification, preparation of corrective drawings, code analysis, coordination with architects and engineers, permit applications or revisions, and direct support through plan review and reinspection.
The goal is to resolve violations as quickly as possible, reduce delays and penalties, restore compliance, and provide clear documentation that supports final approval and closeout.

How it works
JOB DONE FASTER.
How we deliver plans faster.
Over the course of three years, Architect United has developed a proprietary software that automatically analyzes building plans for errors, code conflicts, and design inconsistencies before a single submission.
This eliminates the traditional submit-wait-correct-resubmit cycle, achieving a 65%–94% reduction in revisions and enabling our team to deliver approval-ready plans 2x faster than competing firms.
For clients, this means shorter timelines, lower soft costs, and accuracy that virtually eliminates costly construction-phase surprises.
​
Key Advantages of PRIO
-
Start Building Faster — Dramatic revision reduction cutting plan revisions by 65%–94%, most projects achieve approval on the 2nd/3rd submission instead of the industry-average three to five rounds.
-
First-Submission Accuracy — PRIO catches errors and provides the correct solution instantly, so architects submit right the first time rather than waiting for reviewer feedback.
-
Lower Project Costs — Reduced permitting delays, and significantly lower carrying costs for developers and owners.
-
Faster Permitting & Approvals — Clean, error-free plan sets move through municipal review faster, shaving weeks off the permitting process.
-
Reduced Construction-Phase Change Orders — Plans that are right from the start translate to fewer field conflicts, RFIs, and expensive mid-build corrections.
-
Architect Empowerment, Not Replacement — PRIO handles error detection so our design team can focus on client collaboration and high-value problem-solving.
-
Proprietary & Exclusive — PRIO is built and owned by Architect United—it's not available to the public, giving our clients a structural advantage in speed and quality.
