Master Planning & Programming
We provide pre-construction project planning, facility programming, and master planning services related to individual units, installations, and headquarters levels of organizations. Our certified planners have extensive experience working with all branches of the military and with various federal and local agencies.
Overview
We provide comprehensive pre-construction project planning, facility programming, and master planning services that support decision-making at the unit, installation, and headquarters levels. Our certified planners bring decades of experience working with all branches of the U.S. military—Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and National Guard—as well as with the Department of Veterans Affairs, GSA, DHS, and other federal and local agencies.
Our team is skilled in applying Department of Defense planning criteria, Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) standards, and agency-specific programming tools to develop actionable and mission-aligned solutions. We routinely deliver Area Development Plans (ADPs), Installation Development Plans (IDPs), Basic Facility Requirements (BFRs), Nodal Development Plans (NDPs), and specialized studies that inform both short-term requirements and long-range strategies.
We combine spatial analysis, mission requirements, infrastructure assessments, and stakeholder engagement to provide decision-makers with a clear roadmap for implementation. From high-level visioning to detailed site and facility recommendations, we ensure plans are practical, cost-conscious, and fully integrated with mission readiness objectives.
Results
Our results demonstrate the tangible value of disciplined, client-focused planning:
Mission-Aligned Solutions: We have helped installations optimize land use, improve infrastructure resiliency, and align facilities with mission growth while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
Stakeholder-Centered Planning: Through structured charrette processes and direct engagement with commanders, facility managers, and community stakeholders, we translate complex requirements into consensus-based solutions that gain buy-in and support.
Actionable Deliverables: Our master plans provide clear, prioritized implementation strategies with supporting cost estimates, phasing plans, and risk assessments—empowering clients to move projects seamlessly from concept into design and construction.
Interdisciplinary Integration: By leveraging an interdisciplinary team—including planners, architects, engineers, and cost estimators—we provide comprehensive technical support that accounts for utilities, transportation, sustainability, antiterrorism/force protection, and future growth requirements.
Proven Federal Experience: Our portfolio includes planning and programming support for military campuses, medical facilities, training ranges, and administrative headquarters. These efforts have resulted in approved DD Form 1391s, successful budget submissions, and accelerated project delivery schedules.
Our approach ensures that every master planning effort is more than just a document—it becomes a tool for leaders to make informed, data-driven, and mission-critical decisions.
