People are often surprised at how much parking area is needed for restaurants-and parking allocation with shared businesses in a mall setting only adds to the confusion. Then you have to factor in access issues, additional mechanical systems for a commercial-grade kitchen, restroom facilities, and seating areas.
Planning for any medical facility-either a full clinic, an office suite, or a combined exam and retail center-can be intimidating, to say the least. A few very important things to consider are parking and handicap accessibility. Also, if you're looking at a preexisting building, be sure to check the electrical and mechanical systems to ensure compatibility with any new equipment.
Industrial zoning ranges from heavy to light and can entail any number of specialized uses from refinery and machinery to warehouse and storage space as well as cultivation, brewing, and distillery operations. Determine Design gained a huge amount of experience during the initial marijuana boom while also working on a fair amount of brewery projects, warehouse buildings, and other sites throughout the state of Alaska.
This may include churches, convention centers, community buildings, dance halls, or theatres-any type of space meant to bring people together. These types of projects almost always require the space (even when intended for a niche audience) to be accessible for anyone to visit. Extra attention is always recommended in the areas of restroom facilities and parking.

They are great people and understand that sometimes you make more than or two or three changes to a design. I really appreciate how fast they can turn a design around. Also, working with the muni can be so frustrating and infuriating, with Determine Design they make it so easy!

We hired Determined Design early this year after we realized we were out of compliance with the fire marshal during our construction. Daniel worked diligently to design as-builds and set us on the right path towards compliance. Daniel put us in contact with engineers and really went the extra mile for us. I recommend Determined Design to everybody, They work fast and are highly professional. Thank you so much Determined Design

Daniel Clift of Determine Design was a pleasure to work with. He was very detailed and quick to address any comments or concerns I had throughout the project. Mr. Clift was very patient with me and my project as it shifted course several times. The final drawings from Determine Design were exactly what I pictured. Thanks for turning my imagination into reality.
