What We Do

Architecture and engineering services, without the handoff.

Most projects need an architect and an engineer. Forma gives you both, coordinated from day one, so your construction documents are consistent, code-compliant, and ready to submit for permit.

01

Architectural Design

Concept design, space planning, and construction drawings tailored to how the building will actually be used.

02

Structural Engineering

Structural analysis and licensed structural drawings, developed alongside the architectural design rather than after it.

03

Civil Engineering

Site design, grading, and civil documentation coordinated with local municipal requirements.

04

Permit-Ready Drawings

Complete, licensed drawing sets prepared for permit submission and ready for contractors to build from.

05

Renovations & Additions

Drawings for remodels, additions, and adaptive reuse that respect the constraints of an existing structure.

06

Construction Administration

Support through bidding and construction, so the design intent carries through to the finished building.

Project Types

Residential, commercial & institutional architecture — one studio.
