Quality Control
                Quality control starts day one.  By utilizing standard design documents that have been developed and
                tested through time, we can be both efficient in the management of the project, but most importantly,
                effective, and proactive communicators.  Our staff Principals review the progress of all ongoing projects
                at weekly meetings and when necessary shift or add resources to ensure that we meet all established
                deadlines and tend to all applicable details.  All projects are assigned a reviewer to double check drawings
                before they are issued, and our clients can feel confident in the accessibility and availability of any given
                projects assigned Manager, a Principal of the firm or the support of our entire technical team.

                Social Responsibility
                Warrenstreet  continues  in  our  commitment  to  provide  socially
                responsible attitudes, practices, and solutions in all aspects of the built
                environment.  We approach all projects with an attitude that emphasizes
                identification of need and creation of solutions that positively impact the
                experiences of people first and aesthetics and form second.  We strive to
                not  just  “improve  upon”  conditions  of  a  building  or  site  but  to  fully
                understand  and  enhance  it  with  alternatives  that  are  sound,  just,
                accessible, and equitable to our environment. We stand committed to
                collaboration  with  all  project  stockholders,  empowering  those  with  a
                limited voice and encouraging communities to help us help them and
                create designs that enhance a sense of belonging, conserve resources
                and minimize waste.

                As  an  Employee  Owned  Cooperative  our  business  structure  is  a
                testament to our strong commitment to sustaining and supporting one
                another as individuals and as a community.  We are proud to be one of
                the first nationally recognized design firm cooperatives in the Country and are members of the National
                Cooperative Business Association.  Our firm was recognized in 2015 by the New Hampshire Businesses
                for  Social  Responsibility  with  a  Cornerstone  Award  for  our  continuing  efforts  to  support  socially
                responsible business practices, community outreach and planning efforts that improve upon the human
                experience of the built environment.
