Qualifications to Provide Services

Planning for facilities, evaluating work environments and programs, and forecasting requires a team with special characteristics such as relevant knowledge, relevant training, expert skills, patience, and a genuine concern for outcomes. TPEG makes every effort to ensure that we employ people that have these traits. Our experienced consultants hold university degrees and have obtained legitimate formal training in the planning, evaluation, forecasting, and architectural process.

For business, industry, health care and recreation, we are beginning a new block of research and service. You may read more about this exciting venture at the University of Georgia Web Site >>.

For Schools, the TPEG offers Basic and Advanced Planning, Evaluation, and Forecasting Services to ensure communities that their educational buildings are developed according to functional, research-based designs that maximize learning, minimize discipline problems, and enhance cultural experiences during the formative years. We emphasize concept design to get more substantial benefit from planning.

About the TPEG

Why You Should Employ TPEG

Our primary mission is to promote effective, unbiased leadership in Facilities Planning, Program Evaluation, and Forecasting Services. We, as a cooperative of professional planners, employ focused, strategic planning methods in working with public and private agencies. Our vision is to minimize error in planning, designing facilities, and forecasting through current technology, valid research, competence, and stakeholder participation. Regarding business, health care, recreational and educational facilities, we want to ensure owners and organizations that they will get what they are paying for by following our recommendations.

A major component of our business is program evaluation. We have developed and implemented special techniques to evaluate programs in an unbiased manner. Our most popular model is used to evaluate 21st CCLC programs. Read more about our approach to evaluating after school programs >>

The Current Thrust in Facilities Planning and Design Around the World is "Green"

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. The TPEG encourages clients to cautiously consider using "green principles" in facilities planing and construction. There are some overzealous consultants out there that will give more credit to LEED than it is actually due.
