RKI's master planning services include a small group of highly trained professionals that bring valuable insight, past experience and passion to our planning projects. This group understands the importance of working within multidisciplinary teams of professionals where their contributions assist in establishing the physical understanding of the site; the unique characteristics of the environment and context; the economic and budgetary planning framework of infrastructure; the necessary support facilities; important spatial relationships between program elements; the character and scale of the urban environment and open spaces; the definition and organization of multifaceted movement systems that must be facilitated and integrated within the site; and the identification, organization and coordination of specialty consultants that are required based on the unique requirements and opportunities inherent with the particular assignment.
Our projects have ranged from the planning of a small 5-acre residential multi-building housing site, to a 3,500-acre comprehensive destination resort community project. Our planning endeavors are organized to bring the best possible skill set with solutions that fully maximize the potential of the owner's property. In this respect, we often collaborate with several word-class organizations in order to fulfill the delivery objectives established by the project if the needs exceed our internal resources.
RKI's staff utilizes state of the arts computer aided design, modeling and animation tools that enable us to effectively and efficiently, communicate in a unique way, the physical reality of our inspired planning visions. The talent of our staff and the tools utilized, allow us the unique ability to carefully analyze important criteria such as site viewing corridors, urban massing characteristics, topography characteristics and profiling, site drainage and vegetation and many other important aspects of planning synthesis and data collection that is required to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interrelationships between the planning factors and design components before a solution for a final design can be recommended and further explored and developed. We can literally take our clients on a walk or car ride through the design and planning of the project before it is constructed with these tools and abilities.
Our in-house team of highly trained and experienced real estate development advisors carefully manage and oversee the work conducted by our planning group from a real estate and business viability standpoint. This multidisciplinary professional interface naturally occurs within our specialized organization where architects, developers and planners exchange their knowledge from experience; their special talents and project know-how maximizes the business and creative viability of the master plans we produce for our clients. Our master planners have been integrated and organized within RKI to complement our real estate development and architectural practices, where no plan is too big or small, where the inspired vision is executed with the thoughtful care, resource expertise and the passion that we continuously apply on each and every assignment. We strive for service excellence; this is the root element of our inspired visions, work ethic and professional passions about who we are and what we do.
