I had a fantastic and insightful experience visiting the sites and museum in Atlanta after the NMSDC conference! The Museum, was the icing on the cake, such a rich and immersive way to learn and get inspired.
Visiting the sites and museum in Atlanta had quite an enriching experience! Such a visit provided a deeper understanding of architectural history, design principles, and the cultural context behind various structures.

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested after refusing to accept being treated as a second-class citizen and give up her seat on an Montgomery bus simply because she was Black. Sixty-eight years later, Black Americans are still fighting for full equality. As we remember her legacy today, let's....

Look before you leap!
That is an ancient adage, but still so true today – especially if you are considering purchasing a building with the idea of renovating or expending it to suit your purposes. WDi Architecture Inc. offers “Pre-Purchase consulting services along with our full-service architectural/engineering professional services.
We have been faced too many times with post-purchase “blues”. In WDi’s twenty-six years of design excellence, we occasionally have been asked to examine an existing building or buildings recently purchased by buyers interested in using the property as an investment or for a business relocation, a new commercial or retail venture, offices, light industrial use, or multi-family residential purposes, only to find that the purchase does not meet their needs.
It was not unusual for WDi upon reviewing the existing building and site to discover potentially costly issues that the new owner had not considered prior to acquiring the building. Unfortunately, all too often, the new owners had already made significant financial and other commitments only to discover they are nowhere close to having the resources to develop the property to achieve their desired goals. There have been many circumstances where just a relatively brief cursory examination by our decades of experienced Architects have found our clients were not aware of potential costly structural, civil engineering, life/safety or code issues.
If you are considering purchasing an existing facility, particularly older buildings, it might be in the best interest of the new owner to find out more about what may be involved in the development of the property and building to meet their desired goals, before making the significant financial commitment to purchase. WDi Pre-Purchase Consulting Services can assist the buyer in making a more informed purchase decision.
WDi Architecture will provide preliminary advice and professional opinion on:
1. Zoning compliance issues
2. Preliminary site condition and needs.
3. Possible building code issues.
4. Possible structural or envelope compromise problems.
5. Offer an opinion regarding the viability of the potential planned adaptive re-use and renovation of the building and the site.
6. Advice on whether or not Construction Permits may or may not be required.
7. Possible cost range associated with the project goals
This is NOT an inspection nor environmental assessment service. This is not intended as a formal design service. We cannot advise a buyer to proceed or not to proceed with purchasing a property. This service is intended solely to provide a buyer pre-purchase information that will be useful in their process.
Depending on the condition of the facility, we usually can provide this service for less than $1,000.00 for residential properties located in Marion County. Our fee will depend on the usage, size, and exact location of the building. For those properties outside of Marion County, there may be logistic charges.
When the information we need can be readily acquired, we can normally complete our services quickly – in just a few days - so you will not be unnecessarily delayed making your decision.
*WDi staff will not enter properties or sites they deem unsafe or illegal. The potential buyer must get written permission from the current property owner for our employees to access the site and building.

A shout out to Crossroads Public Affairs for the seat at their table this past Wednesday for the Urban League Recognition event. Thank you all for the increased visibility and interest directed toward supplier diversity programs, an issue that will allow procurement to pull up a chair at the table. America,✌️ by bringing more diverse-owned businesses into the spend categories, the entire community will progress much easier.
