Collaborative Approach to Projects
FMA collaborates with clients to define problems and goals, leading to creative, realistic solutions. Clients become integral members of the design team, helping to weigh budget and design against long-term objectives, and build consensus around key project requirements. Clear communication channels are established to support a collaborative decision making process.

In the past 15 years FMA has successfully collaborated with Yost Grube Hall (YGH), a US based firm, on office buildings for ChevronTexaco Nigeria Limited. This collaboration has resulted in the successful production of design and construction documentation, which has resulted in the timely delivery of sustainable and intelligent office buildings.

Integrated Approach to Design Excellence
As colleagues and friends, we enjoy working together and have structured our office around the sharing of ideas that lead to better design. Team members are clustered together in an open office environment allowing synergy to develop through project. We rely on both analytical and intuitive methods, from group brainstorming to analysis of similar, exemplary projects. Teams are empowered to allocate firm resources and respond to client needs throughout the design process.

Our projects, rather than imposing a particular style, are developed in response to the program, site, and surroundings. Whatever the setting, we design with the understanding that successful public and private buildings reflect the ideas, values, and traditions that make each client, user and context unique.
