Our Core Services
We help courts and their architectural partners define facility needs, strengthen security, and develop sound solutions for individual courthouses and entire facility portfolios. We also support government agencies and private organizations in assessing space needs, optimizing existing facilities, evaluating security vulnerabilities, and prioritizing facility investments.
Courthouse Planning
We help courts and architectural firms establish a clear foundation for courthouse renovation, expansion, and new construction. Through needs assessments, caseload and personnel forecasts, space programming, and evaluation of facility options, we translate operational requirements into practical plans that support funding decisions and guide architectural design.

Space Optimization
We help courts and government agencies make better use of existing facilities, reduce space needs, and extend the useful life of their buildings. For courthouses, we apply our understanding of court operations through courtroom utilization analysis, sharing strategies, and more efficient staff spaces. Across government facilities, we evaluate how space, work practices, and technology can support operations in a smaller footprint. Our approach helps clients reduce space and associated costs while deferring or avoiding costly expansion or new construction.
Security Assessments
We help courts, government agencies, and private organizations understand security vulnerabilities and prioritize improvements that protect people while supporting daily operations. Our assessments examine building surroundings, access points, screening, circulation, and space arrangements to identify risks and recommend practical measures for safer facilities.
Facility Portfolio Planning
We use proven tools and planning processes to help court systems and government agencies evaluate space needs and how well facilities support their operations—from a single complex to city, county, statewide, and national portfolios. Our analysis identifies facility projects, prioritizes them by urgency of need, and provides the justification needed to support funding requests.
