Design – Build
Our virtual design and construction (VDC) method bridges the gap that exists between production and design and coordinates trades, purchasing production, transportation as well as installation and finishing.
Target Value Design
Based on Lean principles, integrated teams gain collective insight into the client’s true value drivers and uses a set based design approach to evaluate design options against target values. In the end, the owner benefits from maximized value; the architect benefits from a more informed design; the GC benefits from greater cost/risk certainty; and the trades and sub-consultants benefit from early engagement and accountability for processes.
Expert-optimized design solutions save time/cost through quality contract documents.
Virtual Design & Construction
Imagine being inside your space and seeing the various systems seamlessly work together. This is the concept that lies behind Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). The simulation of construction processes in all its aspects gives us the opportunity to lower costs for building construction and construction time and improve collaboration.
In creating a 3D image prior to construction beginning our team can guide you through each step of the process. More importantly, we can spot and highlight the clashes between ductwork, beams, or any other structural element. In identifying these issues before stepping to work our team can develop solutions or come up with an alternative strategy. The result is a significant reduction in both time and money.
Mep Services
There is no way to build a structure without electrical, mechanical plumbing, or fire safety systems. However, you can build an unfinished building that is not properly constructed and maintained MEP.
You’ll receive the highest quality MEP service from one of our most knowledgeable teams. From pre-con through post-con, we’re working for you, coordinating all subcontractors in order to make sure everyone is on the same level and on the same timetable. When we turn the building to you we can assure you that all systems have been checked and retested, functioning at maximum efficiency.
Building Systems Design Optimization
Building systems have a significant impact on facility functionality and efficiency, comprising a significant portion of the overall project capital cost with a direct impact on operational costs such as energy use, maintenance, and lifecycle. Our building experts and engineers are working to optimize the design of systems and manage M&E trades by procuring installation, commissioning, and installation to ensure the highest efficiency in terms of operational and economic efficiency.
