Services - Facility Planning

Your organization has grown out of its current home and is deciding whether to renovate facilities or build new. You have completed the necessary feasibility studies, but now you need the right plan. NetGain’s facility and cultural plans will help you to anticipate the future needs of the community you serve and describe how best to adapt your facility to a new district and site while keeping the bottom line in mind. A history of successful collaborations with architectural firms allows us to offer clients a package: a synthesis of site and business planning. We will work closely with your staff at all stages of the project to ensure that the plan is true to your vision. Too often people hired to complete a project are more interested in telling you all the things that can’t happen instead of working to find out how they can. NetGain is different. We go home at night and think (really!), “What can we do to make this happen within the current constraints?” instead of “No, that can’t work because [choose an excuse].”

The resulting plan will generally include the following items:

  • Pro-forma budgets
  • space/use analysis
  • a business plan to recoup costs, if desired
  • estimated timelines
  • potential sites and evaluations
  • results of consultation with community groups, if desired
  • steps to implementation/critical path, if desired

NetGain has led and participated in significant, successful facility planning projects, in conjunction with an architectural team and/or cost consultants over the past 15 years.

"Creativity not committed to public purpose is merely therapy or ego satisfaction."
