What We Do
S1A1’s innovative approach combines architecture, engineering, and component design under one roof. Gone are the days of coordinating the efforts of multiple partners to align details and specifications. Our vertically integrated system reduces build times, improves quality, and gives you more control over your projects – all of which enhance your bottom line.
Let our team of building science experts provide all the output needed to permit, bid, and construct your project:
- Combined architectural and structural plans
- Permitting sets
- Construction documents
- Master sets and lot-specific sets
- Complete structural engineering analysis
- Precise material take-offs
- Roof and floor truss, wall panel, and EWP design
Through our partners at Structural Building Solutions (link), we can manufacture and supply all the components we design. We can also supply other building materials, simplifying both planning and construction for our clients and saving them money.
Our Services Include
Architecture
Utilizing your schematic designs or architectural concepts, experienced Revit and AutoCAD experts develop complete 3D models to work out all construction details in a virtual environment. This streamlines permitting and simplifies the building process, saving you time and money.
Engineering
We analyze the complete structure, from roof to foundation, considering all variables related to geography, materials, and construction practices. This enables us to craft efficient structural designs that will stand the test of time.
Component Design
Bridging the gap between design and construction, we develop wall panels, floor trusses, and roof trusses to be manufactured in a precise, controlled environment. By ensuring both the efficiency and durability of these components, you get a cost-effective solution to cut on-site construction time while ensuring a high level of accuracy.
Architecture
S1A1 specializes in developing design concepts into combined, coordinated plan sets encompassing both architectural and structural information. S1A1’s integrated, value-driven design approach provides our clients with everything they need from a single partner – no more juggling separate architectural plans and structural plans or struggling to coordinate output from multiple design partners.
Architects
Architects work with S1A1 Solutions to develop their design concepts into fully buildable plans. Using just a rudimentary design, we will produce an optimized 3D model of the structure in a virtual environment. This enables us to digitally analyze constructability and material usage rather than leaving important details to be worked out in the field during construction.
From the 3D virtual model, we produce complete plan sets suitable for permit submittals and construction. Letting us handle the technical aspects of the project frees you and your team up to do what they do best – developing fresh, innovative design concepts!
Builders
Our comprehensive design services are ideal for builders seeking to simplify product development, ensure constructability of their designs, and enhance their bottom line. By unifying architecture, engineering and component design under one roof, we can optimize your structure, perform value engineering, and produce all fabrication and installation plans. This helps you maximize quality, make efficient use of building materials, and deliver the most value for your customers.
Our 3D virtual models can produce complete master plan sets illustrating a variety of options in a single plan. The same virtual model can also produce lot-specific plans on demand based on your customers’ selections. In both cases, plan sets include both architectural and structural sheets, giving you a complete plan set for permitting and construction without the need to coordinate with multiple design partners. The 3D models also include full material take-offs in accordance with your material usage specifications.
Through our partners at Structural Building Solutions (link), we can manufacture and supply all the structural components we design including roof and floor trusses, I-joists, and wall panels. We can also supply other building materials, simplifying both planning and construction for our clients.
