Pre-Design Decision Support

Know what a site should become before you design it

Public projects begin long before design. Tiggo builds the evidence base for a direction worth pursuing before public resources are committed

Tiggo helps public organizations determine what's feasible, fundable and worth pursuing before committing to design.

The Challenge

The most important
decisions happen
before design begins

Before moving forward, every organization needs to answer questions like these:

01

What does this site allow?

02

What are the constraints?

03

What's the missing need?

04

What's realistic here?

05

Can we fund it?

06

Who will maintain it?

07

What does the community require?

08

What should happen first?

01

What does this site allow?

02

03

What's the missing need?

04

05

Can we fund it?

06

Who will maintain it?

07

What does the community require?

08

What should happen first?

Without clear answers, priorities shift, decisions stall, scopes blur, funding gets missed

Tiggo helps answer these questions before major investments are made.

Where Tiggo Fits

The process

When project direction is clear from the beginning, every stage that follows becomes more effective.

Site Identified

A place worth a closer look.

02
Tiggo

Project Blueprint

We read the site and set a realistic direction.

03

Funding Strategy

Match vision to funding within reach

04

Procurement

05

Design

Designers begin with clarity.

06

Construction

Build what the community needs.

What you receive

Inside the Blueprint:

The site is only the start.

Its future is shaped by what surrounds it, who uses it, what regulations allow, what funding is possible, what it will cost to operate, and what the community actually needs.

Tiggo brings those signals together before a direction is chosen.

Why Tiggo

Better decisions before bigger investments

Define the project before designing the solution.

Ever site has different opportunities, constraints, funding realities and community needs. Tiggo builds an evidence-based read of the site and recommends a direction that's realistic, fundable, and achievable.

What They Said

Tiggo fits a gap that's quietly cost towns time, money, and trust — disjointed public projects delivery. It turns good intentions into real momentum.

Pulse of Public Spaces

Ongoing dispatches on civic sites in waiting, public-space use, and the conditions that shape whether a project gets built well — or built at all.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Tiggo?

Tiggo provides pre-design decision support for public-interest projects. We evaluate a site and produce a Project Blueprint that helps organizations determine what is feasible, fundable, and worth pursuing before significant public resources are committed.

What is a Project Blueprint?

A structured decision-making document that brings together site analysis, opportunities, constraints, community context, funding considerations, comparable projects, a recommended project direction, and implementation considerations. It provides a clear foundation for the next stage of the project.

Who is Tiggo for?

We work with municipalities, libraries, school districts, parks departments, economic development organizations, and other public institutions responsible for public-interest sites.

How long does it take?

Most Project Blueprints are completed in approximately two weeks, depending on the project's size and complexity.

When should we bring Tiggo in?

As early as possible, once a site or opportunity has been identified but before the project direction, scope or design has been decided.

Can Tiggo help with funding?

Yes. Each Project Blueprint considers funding readiness and identifies potential funding opportunities where appropriate.

What kinds of sites can Tiggo evaluate?

Examples include parks, libraries, school campuses, downtown sites, civic buildings, connector spaces, public plazas, and vacant or underused public-interest sites.

How do we get started?

If you have a site you're considering, schedule a conversation with us. We'll discuss your goals, review the site, and determine whether a Project Blueprint is the right next step.
