IDAD Members Say They Do :
THE VALUE OF DESIGN As an individual, successful entrepreneur, developer, investor, superintendent or resort executive, you will require professional architectural services in the pursuit of your project, process or product. You know that imagination, innovation and technical communication are essential and valued skills in accomplishing your goals. THE COST AND BENEFITS OF DESTINATION DESIGN You are aware of your priorities and the importance of good design in the realm of admired and appreciated assets. Good design has no substitute, and your task must be fully examined by creative thinkers who under- stand what it takes to succeed. The designer's reputation and his/her concepts can open doors of advancement opportunity for enhancement of your ideas and the translation of your needs and wants into reality. You require a qualified IDAD architect. IDAD services provide you with the techniques required of individuals who desire and insist on only the best possible answer. Design is considered the most important issue in the value retention of any asset and the appeal and marketing value of any project, process, or product. And you realize the importance of having quality design helping you with decisions and solutions which affect your options and future success. IDAD and you can make it happen. THE PRACTICE OF IDAD Renowned Land/Hydroscape architects have stretched the envelope of design in the realm of concepts. Design has global consequences and few deny its future and current engineering ramifications from the smallest element to the largest endeavor. Design meets human needs, examines possibilities and supplies golfcourses, resorts and parks with the necessary edge to make a statement that works. Designers have rejected the notion that good solutions are found only in repetitive conventions and standards. Designers seek to be innovative in a creative desire to maximize their client's advantage. Good design is an experiment with a quality client which examines and explores a multiplex of possibilities and challenges everyone involved in the design process to strive for the best possible solution. Similar fields, and many non-designers generally find systematic resolution of problems to result in efficient answers. In comparison, an IDAD Architect accepts efficiency as only one indicator: the project must also be effective and expressive of human factors, investment value, technology, marketing/ resale appeal and sound design. It is the goal of good designers to think outside the box of everyday notions and to limit the probability of failure, which represents the direct compilation of every conceivable positive attribute to ensure success.
Of course you realize and understand the wide range of expertise available. But generally, since most problems extend into various resultant ramifications, impacts, maximizations and real-time manipulations that require modeling and prototyping of problems into real solutions, design and design methods alone can provide the best possible solution for your project. Your designers should consider their practice a lifestyle and have dedication to the higher goals of artistic and technical professionalism, not just a can-do mentality. Design is a method for improving health and safety and is a must for performance enhancement. The design profession has sound, proven criteria for judging effectiveness and is essential to human and business resource planning. It has been shown that design can reduce costs and development time and helps to accelerate recognition and user/consumer training. Designers simplify use, construction, and repair. Design finds the optimum, or "best" solution within needs, cost and time. THE VALUE OF RESEARCH Being well-informed is the basic reason for professional architectural investigations. It has been demonstrated that research can eliminate or reduce aggravation, time, money and the legal red tape associated with surprises. The minimal benefit from research is the provision of peace of mind and the ability to plan or budget for expenditures. So:
who should you call? Whether you are a government entity, an institution or establishment, or perhaps a league, club, society or business association, all agencies of all descriptions require trained leadership for development and architectural works projects. Far too often detrimental results, due to the selection of inadequate expertise, occurs. To devise a good business foundation you must become fairly conversant with the professionals who can aide in large scale endeavors in development. To an amazing degree, good proposals are hindered by the absence of R&D and more often than not bad counsel will fill the empty space which results. To ensure that effort and money result in gratifying accomplishments, you as an official, executive or recreation expert, require a professional designer teamed with natural/ physical scientists to devise the best direction for your important project.
