Way of Collaboration

We understand that each urban planning project is unique. Our collaborative approach adapts to your specific needs to create tailor-made solutions.

How We Work

Our collaboration process is designed to maximize the value of each project, integrating technical knowledge with strategic vision and stakeholder participation.

Collaboration process

Our methodological approach integrates rigorous technical analysis with inclusive participatory processes, seeking solutions that balance technical feasibility, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and economic feasibility.

Each project follows a structured but adaptable sequence, with validation milestones that allow for continuous adjustments and refinements to ensure optimal results.

01

Site Evaluation and Urban Diagnosis

We perform a comprehensive analysis of the territorial context, considering physical-spatial, environmental, socio-economic, and regulatory aspects that influence project development.

Main Activities:

  • Collection and analysis of territorial information (topography, hydrology, ecosystems, infrastructure)
  • Evaluation of urban dynamics and space usage patterns
  • Stakeholder mapping and needs/expectations analysis
  • Identification of site potentials and restrictions
  • Analysis of existing regulatory framework and planning

Results:

Comprehensive diagnosis report, analytical cartography, identification of strategic opportunities, and definition of preliminary guidelines for masterplan development.

02

Conceptualization and Strategic Masterplan

We develop the overall vision and structure of the project, defining the masterplan's structural elements and main territorial intervention strategies.

Main Activities:

  • Definition of vision and strategic project objectives
  • Development of alternative intervention scenarios
  • Participatory workshops for co-creation and proposal validation
  • Elaboration of a guiding scheme with definition of structural systems
  • Preliminary modeling of densities, uses, and volumes

Results:

Strategic masterplan with definition of urban structure, mobility systems, public space, general zoning, and sustainability strategies. Includes conceptual visualizations and functional schemes.

03

Detailed Zoning and Regulations

We develop the regulatory instruments and detailed design necessary for masterplan implementation, ensuring consistency between strategic vision and specific solutions.

Main Activities:

  • Elaboration of a detailed zoning and land use plan
  • Definition of urban parameters (heights, setbacks, densities, buildability)
  • Detailed design of public spaces and key infrastructure
  • Development of urban design guides and architectural guidelines
  • Elaboration of phased implementation strategies

Results:

Detailed zoning plan, specific urban regulation, design guides, technical plans for infrastructure and public spaces, and phased implementation program.

04

Implementation and Monitoring

We accompany the masterplan implementation process, providing technical advice, key indicator monitoring, and necessary adjustments to ensure project objective fulfillment.

Main Activities:

  • Advice on management processes and regulatory approval
  • Coordination with design teams for specific projects
  • Supervision of structural infrastructure implementation
  • Monitoring of sustainability and urban quality indicators
  • Adjustments and adaptations of the masterplan according to emerging needs

Results:

Periodic monitoring reports, objective fulfillment evaluation, documentation of lessons learned, and recommendations for continuous development optimization.

Collaboration Formats

We offer different service modalities adapted to the specific needs of each client and project.

Preliminary Studies

Territorial analysis focused on identifying potentials, restrictions, and strategic guidelines for the development of a specific area.

Ideal for:

  • Landowners evaluating development options
  • Municipalities analyzing opportunity areas
  • Investors in territorial due diligence phase

Typical Scope:

Comprehensive diagnosis, identification of strategic opportunities, preliminary development guidelines, and urban potential estimation.

Strategic Masterplanning

Development of comprehensive vision and general structure for medium and large-scale urban projects, establishing structural systems and implementation strategies.

Ideal for:

  • Developers of integral urban projects
  • Municipalities planning expansion areas
  • Public-private consortia in regeneration projects

Typical Scope:

Strategic masterplan with definition of urban structure, mobility systems, public space, general zoning, and sustainability strategies.

Regulatory Zoning

Elaboration of detailed regulatory instruments for urban plan implementation, including urban parameters and design guidelines.

Ideal for:

  • Municipalities implementing urban planning schemes
  • Developers in project approval phase
  • Organized communities managing neighborhood improvements

Typical Scope:

Detailed zoning plan, specific urban regulation, design guides, and phased implementation program.

Sustainability Consultancy

Specialized advice on integrating environmental, social, and economic sustainability strategies into existing or developing urban projects.

Ideal for:

  • Projects seeking sustainability certifications
  • Urban developments in optimization process
  • Municipalities implementing climate agendas

Typical Scope:

Sustainability diagnosis, optimization strategies, indicator definition, and monitoring system, certification accompaniment.

Commercial Process

We understand that each project is unique. Our commercial process is designed to deeply understand your needs and offer personalized solutions.

Information Needed for Evaluation

To appropriately evaluate your project and prepare a tailor-made proposal, it is useful to have the following information:

Site Plans

Topographic plans, existing surveys, previous studies, and available territorial documentation allowing for understanding the physical characteristics of the intervention area.

Population Data

Demographic and socio-economic information of the context, growth dynamics, specific demands, and potential user characteristics that help guide the solutions.

Project Objectives

General vision, specific goals, expected results, and time horizons contemplated for development, including qualitative and quantitative aspects.

Restrictions

Regulatory, budgetary, temporal, or other limitations that must be considered in the approach to solutions and that condition project development.

Stages of the Commercial Process

Initial Contact

Preliminary conversation to understand the project in general terms, needs, and expectations. Can be done in person, by video call, or through our web contact form.

Duration: 1-2 days

Exploration Meeting

Detailed session where we delve into specific requirements, analyze available information, and jointly define the potential scope of our collaboration.

Duration: 3-5 days after initial contact

Technical-Economic Proposal

Elaboration and presentation of a detailed proposal including service scope, methodology, timeline, deliverables, and economic evaluation adapted to project-specific needs.

Duration: 5-10 days after exploration meeting

Adjustments and Formalization

Proposed refinement process based on received feedback, negotiation of specific terms, and collaboration formalization through a contract clearly establishing mutual commitments.

Duration: Variable depending on project complexity

Project Start

Kick-off meeting where the detailed work plan is established, the specific team is assigned, and communication channels and monitoring mechanisms for project development are defined.

Duration: Immediately after formalization

About the Preliminary Evaluation

Our preliminary evaluation process is designed to provide a clear understanding of your project's potential before committing significant resources:

  • We perform an initial cost-free analysis that identifies key opportunities and potential challenges.
  • We estimate preliminary ranges of scope, time, and resources needed based on comparable projects.
  • We provide recommendations on the most appropriate approach based on your project's specific characteristics.
  • The entire preliminary evaluation process is handled with strict confidentiality, protecting sensitive project information.
