Scheffer Andrew Ltd. has participated in training from the National Charrette Institute (NCI) based in Portland, Oregon. The NCI promotes a method called the NCI Charrette System^TM, which teaches professionals a holistic, collaborative planning process to create urban plans that meet the needs of all parties. This system is used by public and private planners, designers, architects, developers and community activists. Its implementation has many benefits for communities, including cost savings, increased probability of implementation, promotion of trust between citizens and government and highly sustainable design.

The planners at Scheffer Andrew Ltd. are well-versed with this system, and can bring its innovative solutions to your next planning project.
