Design Services

Animal Arts offers a full range of design services.  From the above list you can choose the specific services and expertise that you require for your particular project.

Initial Design Consultation

We are always interested in new ideas and would welcome the opportunity to talk to you without charge about your plans.  Areas that we often explore in this initial consultation are site selection, facility size and capacity, construction cost and schedule.

Project Feasability / Fundraising Package

In this stage we develop a “picture” of your project as we identify the goals, size, cost and overall design approach.  For veterinary projects, this information can be used to secure bank financing.  For animal shelter projects, this information will help you kick off your Capital Campaign.

Schematic Design

In this step our goal is to design a working and efficient floor plan that will enable you to provide the best animal care and reach your full potential.  Our aim is to create a facility that is tailor made to your functional, aesthetic and economic needs.

Working Drawing Production

In a series of Work Sessions with you we develop detailed information about the functional requirements of each room in your facility.  We then translate this information into a complete and comprehensive set of drawings that your contractor will use to build your project.  Our expertise allows us to provide specific design solutions for the very unique buildings that are used for the care and housing of animals.

Supervising the Construction

Animal Arts can help you monitor the construction of your building to ensure that the finished product complies with the working drawings and fully realizes your goals and expectations.
