Prime Architects
Prime Architects, founded in 2013, is a veteran-owned architecture firm offering architectural, interior architecture, planning, and project management services to government and commercial clients. It describes itself as a service-disabled veteran-owned design-build firm and works from an office at 425 W. Gray Street in Norman, Oklahoma.
Its architectural services span the full lifecycle of a building project, from initial planning and design through construction oversight and project management, and include integrating architectural and engineering systems into the built environment. Interior architecture covers space planning, lighting design, color schemes, finishing materials, and furniture and fixture selection. Planning services include facility and site planning, real estate development, and master planning.
Supplemental services are sold on top of the base scope: site selection and evaluation, weighing location, environmental conditions such as topography and climate, and zoning compliance; cost control and estimating, including negotiating material prices, evaluating contractor bids, and costing design options; and quality control and process monitoring, where the firm acts as owner's representative overseeing inspections and testing against the construction documents. Facility surveys are also offered.
The published track record is government-weighted: past performance named includes the Department of Veterans Affairs, the United States Air Force, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the General Services Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency, alongside business owners. The crawled pages do not describe retail, strip center, or pre-engineered metal building work, so ask for comparable project examples and request the capabilities statement.
Best for
