What’s Included in a Full-Service Architecture Experience?

If you’re a busy executive juggling growth, hiring, culture, and client work… the last thing you need is a construction headache. You want your office done—beautifully, efficiently, and in a way that feels completely you. No chasing vendors. No managing a dozen consultants. Just results.

That’s where a full-service architecture firm in NYC like MCC-Arch comes in.

We’re not just designers. We’re your go-to partner from the first sketch to the day your team rolls their chairs in—and beyond. Let’s walk through what “full-service” actually means (and why it’s the game-changer most TAMI companies don’t realize they need).

So… What Is a Full-Service Architecture Firm?

In plain English? It means we do everything.

From concept through construction, you get one team (that’s us) managing every detail—so you don’t have to. We handle:

✅ Strategy
✅ Design
✅ Permits
✅ Contractor coordination
✅ Furniture selection
✅ Punchlists
✅ Move-in day

It’s like having a project manager, creative director, and construction whisperer rolled into one—minus the ego 😉

Here’s Exactly What You Get with MCC-Arch

Let’s break down our full-service process, step-by-step:

1. Discovery + Workplace Strategy

We kick things off with deep listening.

You’ll tell us what’s working, what’s not, and what’s on your wish list. We look at your headcount, workflows, culture, future growth… all the good stuff.

This is where we define your vision—how your space should feel, function, and flex for what’s next.

✔️ Brand and culture alignment
✔️ Growth and space planning
✔️ Employee needs

2. Concept + Schematic Design

Here’s where things start to come to life.

We develop layout and visual concepts based on your goals and feedback. You’ll start to see your brand take shape—translated into materials, finishes, and vibe.

✔️ Mood boards, layouts, and sketches
✔️ Lighting and sustainability concepts
✔️ Budget guidance (with value-engineering options baked in)

We’ll present everything clearly and collaboratively. You’ll feel confident and excited—not overwhelmed.

3. Design Development + Approvals

We refine the concept into a buildable plan.

Our team coordinates every consultant—engineering, lighting, acoustic, sustainability—so you don’t have to.

✔️ Full set of drawings
✔️ Furniture and material selection
✔️ LEED/WELL strategy if applicable
✔️ DOB filing and permit prep

No surprises. No missed steps. Just a team obsessed with getting it right the first time.

4. Construction Administration

We’re not the kind of firm that hands off drawings and disappears.

We’re on site, coordinating with your contractor, reviewing submittals, and making sure everything is being built exactly as planned.

✔️ Site visits
✔️ Problem-solving before it becomes panic
✔️ Timeline and cost tracking
✔️ Change order review + control

Our job? To protect your investment and your vision—every step of the way.

5. Furniture, Finishes + Move-In

We help you furnish your space in a way that supports function, flow, and flexibility.

✔️ Furniture sourcing and procurement
✔️ Installation coordination
✔️ Final styling and walk-through
✔️ Punchlist management
✔️ Move-in support

We’re there to hand you the keys—and celebrate.

Why Full-Service Matters (Especially in NYC)

New York’s fast-moving commercial real estate scene comes with plenty of complexity: landlord requirements, building codes, permits, union crews, material delays… the list goes on.

Trying to navigate all that with a patchwork of vendors? 🌀 That’s a full-time job—and not yours.

With MCC-Arch, you get one point of contact, one clear process, and one aligned team that knows how to translate vision into reality without drama.

Designed for You, Built Around Your Brand

Every office we design is unique. But what never changes? Our obsession with:

🌿 Sustainability (LEED/WELL principles always in play)
🎯 Functionality (built for growth, and wellbeing)
🧠 Brand integration (so your space feels like you)

And yeah—we make it look damn good too.
