DESIGN OVERSIGHT, VALUE ENGINEERING AND
PROJECT BIDDING
During this pivotal period commonly referred to as Pre-Construction a well orchestrated team can be the difference
Between starting 3 months early with a created contingency or not getting approvals, permits or mobilizing till 3 months after expected start date trying hoping to reduce the cost somehow.
​
Trying to make up time during construction is complicated, costly and at times not possible. Dependability and proactivity during the preconstruction phase will separate your project and get you open for business and generating income.
Design Oversight and Coordination to Prevent Issues and Change Orders During Construction
We will perform overlays between architectural and electrical, mechanical and plumbing plans to ensure all floor plans and reflected ceiling plans have been fully coordinated. We will also review sections and elevations and sections to ensure code compliance and that they have been fully considered against existing conditions and floor plans.
We will get your project out of neutral and into construction.
Through constant and consistent effort day after day we will pick up critical
time and create momentum heading into construction.
Value Engineering
Material Mastery
We will check for the availability and suitability of all finish materials to ensure a cost appropriate solution and alternative are presented. As construction technologies and industries continue to improve higher end looks at more affordable rates. We are constantly working and staying up to date on industry offerings.
MEP Systems Excellence
All existing and proposed MEP systems will be considered and vetted. The easy solution of remove and replace will not be defaulted into.
Illuminating Design
A review of light fixtures will take place to confirm local sources are considered with minimal lead times and similar looks to higher end non dometic selections.
Millwork and Furniture Finesse
Millwork and furniture selections will be thoroughly vetted and reviewed. Similarly to architectural finishes, globalization and construction technology have made high end finishes much more affordable and durable.
Crystal-Clear Vision
Glass and storefront selections will be reviewed to ensure the appropriate level of visual clarity and sound attenuation are provided.
Curb Appeal Excellence
Site work and landscaping will be appropriate for the use and give your property the curb appeal it deserves.
