Firm Approach
We understand that our clients have a full-time obligation to manage the daily operations of their businesses and that undertaking a complicated and risk-laden construction project can present unique challenges to any organization. In an open-book and highly collaborative manner, our extended team of professionals will leverage our significant experience to manage this highly dynamic endeavor, all in a manner that matches the personality of your organization. Our proactive and pragmatic approach to project management insures that your Team remains fully informed and that there are no surprises during any phase of the project.
Our Job is To Make Your Job Easier
Our experience working collaboratively within both academic and institutional environments provides a unique project delivery system that is unmatched in our industry. Utilizing a highly collaborative and transparent process, we focus on the best-value use of the available construction budget, while strongly emphasizing the need to have a zero-accident project site and minimizing disruption of on-going campus activities. Our seamless turn-key delivery model allows clients to participate as much or as little as they desire in the development process of their project.
Proven Development Approach
Your project will require the skill sets of seasoned professionals who have successfully developed projects like yours. That’s why our flexible, pragmatic problem solving abilities eliminate most problems during the construction phase. The fewer problems that are experienced during the construction phase, the better the chances are for a smooth transition to occupancy.
From the first design charette, we actively manage the process to ensure that a successful outcome is achieved. We fully integrate our team with yours and we provide all necessary information for you to make an informed decision. With a emphasis on keeping the big picture in sight while focusing on the details, we are experts in aligning the design to the available budget. The end result is a project that is as unique and appropriate to your campus as it should be.
We approach each project with a safety first mandate, thus helping to ensure the protection of your students, workers, and campus visitors. We strongly emphasize the need to maintain a zero-accident project site that minimizes disruption of campus activities.
In the pre-construction phase we identify known critical path milestones then work both forward and backward to establish critical paths which encompass all aspects of the development and construction process. We then drill down to intricately detail each phase of work to allow for the proper identification of bottlenecks or scheduling conflicts.
We employ a “Best Value Engineering” philosophy early in the design phase to accommodate the project’s budget to the maximum practical extent. More importantly, we focus on the features that will drive the end user’s experience within the completed facility. There are no surprises throughout the project, and we excel at creative problem solving to resolve any challenge that arises.
