Service
When we are selected as the architect on any project, we add
consulting engineers to our TMA "team", providing structural,
mechanical, electrical, plumbing and civil engineering expertise,
tailored to the needs of the project. Our goal at TMA is to
consistently provide truly "professional" services, always considering
the "life cycle cost" of all decisions relating to materials, finishes
and construction techniques.

Church Contact
We are accustomed to a close working relationship with churches and
will arrange multiple meetings with the staff regarding all the
related spaces and design considerations. The meetings and work
sessions with the church will include computer generated,
"walk-through," three dimensional modeling to expedite sound decision
making. TMA's design team will become prayer partners with the church
leadership and staff to seek the LORD's mind in all our design
decisions. |
