Our Design Process Building on a Foundation of Teamwork Communication Good communication is the key to a successful design process. Working from dedicated multidiscipline team studios, we explore options with our clients in an atmosphere of trust and respect. Using focused design charrettes and specialized techniques like “rapid prototyping” we work together to refine the best ideas into a solution that fulfills project goals and reflects the unique vision of each client.
Teamwork Our design approach is built on teamwork, with clients, designers, and builders fully engaged in the process. The result is better coordination, improved performance, and more responsive solutions. We use our experience to lead the team through the design process, but our ethic is to regard all team members as equals.
At CH2M HILL, we use wall meetings and programming sessions to develop a complete team understanding of project requirements and define cohesive project solutions

Making Great Buildings Collaboration The design process is about ideas: finding them, refining them, and making sure the best ones find their way into the final solution. We pursue ideas collaboratively, with all team members contributing in an atmosphere of trust and respect. Our architects and engineers sit in team spaces organized by project. These design studio environments encourage informal, frequent dialogue among all project team members, and support seamless coordination between disciplines.
Innovation Our clients are leaders. CH2M HILL contributes to their success with innovative designs that help push the boundaries of discovery and keep them ahead of the competition. Our integrated design process creates a synergy between client, designer, and builder that leads to breakthrough solutions.
Building information models allow us to anticipate design requirements and the effectiveness of our solutions prior to construction.
