Planning Services

One of the success factors of organizational and program development and project delivery is planning.

Sectors Services Projects Insights News People

This critical stage offers an opportunity to collaborate with clients, stakeholders and the community—helping them make informed choices that are aligned to their development goals and project needs. Each project has a unique combination of demands, in a unique physical setting, under unique commercial and institutional constraints. Achieving a balance between performance, productivity and cost-effectiveness requires a thorough, simultaneous examination of all issues.

Regardless of the sector, sound planning must provide a full range and prioritization of options to prepare for a new direction or new developments, becoming the blueprint of the client’s vision. Most importantly, planning recommendations must be realistic, implementable and affordable. To that end, WSP USA gets involved early in the implementation of projects and calls upon community and urban designers, planners, environmental specialists, engineers, financial planners and other niche experts as needed.
