FOUNDING PRINCIPLES
Houseal Lavigne Associates is founded on a set of core principles that, when combined with our professional experience and expertise, creates a consultant firm that stands above the rest. We have succeeded in establishing a collaborative team of experts dedicated to injecting community planning, economic development, and urban design with an unparalleled level of commitment, attention, and responsiveness.
Better Community Outreach
We believe strongly in fostering a sense of “community stewardship” by using an inclusive approach to citizen outreach and participation as a foundation for our planning projects.
Commitment to Creativity
We believe vision and creativity are among the most important components of good planning and design, and we pledge to provide fresh, responsive, and intriguing ideas for local consideration.
Graphic Communication
We believe all planning processes and documents should utilize a highly illustrative and graphic approach to better communicate planning and development concepts in a user friendly, easy to understand, and attractive manner.
Technology Integration
We believe that the integration of appropriate technologies should be used to improve the planning process and product – improving communication and involvement with the public, gathering and assessing vital information, and producing more effective documents and recommendations.
Client Satisfaction
We believe client satisfaction is our top priority and strive to achieve it by developing and maintaining strong professional relationships, being responsive to clients’ concerns and aspirations, and always aiming to exceed expectations
