“Where Do I Start?”

All of our clients have different needs. Our planners are skilled at working with clients from the earliest stages of a project to help them:

  • Develop a detailed project program
  • Explore design alternatives
  • Capture all costs associated with the project
  • Develop a detailed timeline for design, permitting and construction

The discussions and documents developed during Bread Loaf’s planning process form the foundation to make informed decisions and lay the groundwork for a successful design and construction process.
