“All too often we are coming into well underway projects to fix incorrect zoning or misinterpretation of code, and at times finding development benefits that were left on the table, due to developers hiring a ‘design firm’. SB+C provides an all-encompassing team that will maximize the value of our clients’ assets while giving them globally acclaimed design.”
