Feasibility and Regulatory Review

Before investing significant time and resources in a project, it is important to understand the opportunities and constraints associated with a site. A feasibility and regulatory review helps identify potential issues early in the process, allowing informed decisions before design and permitting efforts begin. Reviews may include:

  • Zoning and land use requirement

  • Permitted and conditional uses

  • Building setbacks and site restrictions

  • Parking requirements

  • Utility availability and capacity

  • Flood zone and environmental conditions

  • Access, circulation, and site planning constraints

  • Applicable building and development codes

  • Permitting and approval requirements

Identifying these factors early can reduce risk, avoid costly surprises, and help establish a realistic path forward for project development.

Architectural Design

PMK Architecture provides architectural design services for new construction, additions, renovations, tenant improvements, and adaptive reuse projects. Each project receives direct principal involvement from initial planning through completed construction documents.

Services may include:

  • Site planning

  • Building design

  • Space planning

  • Construction documents

  • Permit drawings

  • Coordination with regulatory agencies

Integrated Design Team Coordination

Successful projects require more than architectural design. PMK Architecture assembles and manages the team of professionals needed to support each project, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, civil engineering, and landscape architecture consultants, as well as other specialized disciplines when required.

Rather than relying on a fixed group of consultants for every project, PMK Architecture selects design professionals based on their expertise and experience with the specific type of project being developed. This approach allows clients to benefit from the most qualified professionals for their particular needs while maintaining a single point of contact throughout the planning, design, and permitting process.

By coordinating the entire design team, PMK Architecture helps ensure that architectural, engineering, and site development considerations are integrated into a cohesive and practical solution.

Construction Administration

PMK Architecture remains involved during construction to help protect the client's interests and support successful project delivery.

Services may include:

  • Review of contractor submittals

  • Responses to requests for information

  • Site observations

  • Coordination with contractors and consultants

  • Review of project progress

  • Assistance with project closeout

About P. Miles Kappes

For more than 55 years, I have helped clients turn ideas into successful building projects. My experience includes commercial, medical, industrial, office, hospitality, religious, and renovation projects of many sizes and types.

I believe architecture should be practical, buildable, and responsive to a client's goals, budget, and schedule. Every project presents unique challenges, and finding solutions to those challenges is one of the most rewarding aspects of the profession.

Clients work directly with me throughout the project, from initial planning through permitting and construction. My goal is to provide clear guidance, practical solutions, and a straightforward path from concept to completion.

PMK Architecture provides architectural services throughout Central Florida, including DeLand, Volusia County, Orlando, Orange County, Seminole County, Lake County, and surrounding communities. Each project receives direct principal involvement and a design team assembled to meet the specific needs of the client and project type.
