firm profile
philosophy

R. L. Payne & Associates, Inc. was established in College Station, Texas as a full services architectural firm with an emphasis on producing quality design, visualization, planning and contract administration services. Our dedication to quality design and our clients encouraged our experience and growth in interior design and graphics. In addition to traditional services, we are experienced in all construction types and methods of delivery.

Our plan begins with the “Design Team”. The Design Team for Traditional methods is made up of the owner, the architect, and professional consultants. In Design-Build, the contractor becomes an integral part of the Design Team. The choice of engineering and other consultants is custom tailored to the specific needs of the owner and the project. Once the Design Team is assembled, the “Design Approach” begins.

Design Approach for all methods of delivery and for all phases of a project demands an active role by all team members. Every project has specific objectives, needs, and constraints, which must be identified and incorporated into the design. Careful listening, documentation and analysis are all important. Flexibility must be considered in every solution. Alternate solutions as well as new technologies are always considered. Once the best solution is identified, production begins.

Performance is our key. During production we endeavor to meet performance standards and project schedules. Personal daily involvement in every project ensures success. Careful attention to our clients and attention to detail also contribute to our success. We feel that it is critical to keep the client/user involved and informed throughout all phases of design and construction.

The personal service R.L. Payne provides in both design and during construction, assures our clients of successful projects that meet their schedule and budget. Our dedication to quality design and architecture is our contribution to our clients, the community and our profession.
