Master Planning has been at the core of ONUMA, Inc. since 1972. As an architectural and planning firm the projects have included:

• Residential Planning

Navy Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan

In 1993 we started to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) to master plan large communities. Included were a series of U.S. Government facilities. At the time BIM was not well known and not a requirement of the projects. We found that by using BIM we were able to gain exponential levels of efficiency and accuracy in the deliverable. This process also was proof to us that a revolutionary way to approach projects was possible.

Master planning involves the communication of complex ideas and exploring alternatives and coming to conclusions. The process is a give and take and there is a great need to be able to process vast amounts of raw data to gain a knowledge and understanding in order to create solutions based on wisdom. The process is a combination of expertise, information and the ability to assemble dynamically changing project information.
