Built On Process
Powered By Partnership
When we embark upon a project, we join forces cross-studio to match the distinct skillsets of our staff members with the diverse needs of our end users to arrive at custom, tailored designs.
How do we do it? Through a variety of services and a series of time-tested processes that balance a project’s design-based criteria – its aesthetics – with its delivery-based essentials – it’s buildability.
What does that look like? During pre-design and planning, it involves uncovering our clients’ end goals and navigating the roadmap to get there – from visioning, scheduling, and confirming space requirements to identifying project opportunities and future challenges.
As we delve into schematic design and design development, we curate concepts that balance visual appeal, sustainability, code requirements, infrastructure, and systems. And throughout this entire process, our construction administrators work alongside our design team to ensure that our final contract documents result in code-compliant, successfully built, and community-focused spaces.

Our statistics speak for themselves:
- Leader in Design-Build projects for 15+ years.
- Most K-12 Design-Build projects designed by any NJ firm.
- First firm to have ever performed bridging design architectural work for the NJSDA.
- $1.1 billion in construction costs for NJ bridging design and Design-Build projects.
- 2.7 million s.f. of NJ bridging design and Design-Build projects.
Pre-Design and Planning
Pre-Design and Planning
When we plan and program, we get to the heart of the matter – the core needs of your project – while discovering your current operations, potential pain points, and visions for the future.
Architecture & Interior Design
Architecture & Interior Design
We scale our designing, drafting, and modeling activities to the parameters of your project, with a concentrated focus on interior layouts, finish and material selections, system and infrastructure integration, sustainability, specifications, permitting and – above all else – client collaboration.
Construction Administration
Construction Administration
While typically the final phase in a project’s process, CA isn't the last step at RSC - we integrate our construction administrators early so that our designs are buildable and our construction documents can come to life.

Design-Build
With over 2.7 million s.f. of bridging design and Design-Build projects in NJ, totaling over $1.1 billion, and the state's two largest K-12 facilities within our portfolio, it’s easy to see why clients consider RSC a Design-Build authority.
