The experts at Market & Johnson will work closely with you to make sure your project starts on the right path.

During this phase, the team ensures that your project is “Right Sized.” Working together with the design team and client, we will evaluate sizes, department adjacencies, exterior options, and future expansion capabilities to make sure all your facility needs are met. This critical step in our cost control process is necessary as budgets become challenging when the programming phase is not correctly managed and tracked. By finding the proper balance between “wants” and “needs” we will set your project up for success both now and the future.
