Our team focuses on taking the producer from ambiguity to clarity as early on as possible by applying knowledge and asking the right questions to solve problems before they become costly or impact the facility's performance.
The first step of your project success is achieved in the Preconstruction Process. Our experience proves time and energy spent in Preconstruction saves 5%-10% in construction through collaborative design, well-coordinated construction, and reduced change orders. But more importantly, a successful preconstruction process effort ensures you are building the “Right Project,” not just building a project right.
Trust, confidentiality, and collaboration are vital in this phase. The “Right Project” is one that:
All these factors are vital in discerning the “Right Project” and then developing a conceptual design to clearly illustrate it. We are committed to invest in your project and ensure the “Right Project” is taken forward to construction.
Here we take the conceptual design and Cap-X Budget from Project Feasibility and carefully detail it out based on:
Through Design Development we prioritize investments together to ensure your production goals, management needs, and ROI are realized. The key objectives in this phase are to:
This step is vital to ensure the “Right Project” moves forward with clarity and confidence. This phase is a primary element to avoiding costly and unnecessary changes during construction. We are committed to invest our team heavily in this part of the process, and in turn, provide you with cost and performance predictability.
Here we tighten up all scope and cost estimates for self-perform, subcontractor and supplier “buy – out”. Design, specifications and final buy-out is completed to ensure alignment with your production, management and ROI expectations. This final design effort and intensive buy-out is vital to ensure an efficient project and maximum savings back to you.
The “full project team” is formalized and integrated for a seamless transition to construction. The project scope, schedule, risk management, Buy – Out and final cost is completed. You, the customer, enjoys full transparency and project team accountability through this final design effort and into construction.
Taking your vision for the project and our efforts designing around your operational requirements and business needs, our operations team mobilizes and commences with bringing the well-laid project plans to a built reality.
Safe delivery of timely and cost effective projects with predictable results are critical at this phase of the work. The “Right Project” is one that delivers on the following:
Demonstrating these integrated objectives, with consistency, throughout the construction execution phase allows us to demonstrate our value and validates that “we do what we say we’re going to do” to build the “Right Project”
Together we can help you hone your goals, evaluate your obstacles and brainstorm comprehensive solutions. Our seamless turnkey process can take you from start to finish without ever losing sight of your ultimate goal: a quality, enduring structure that will protect your investment, increase production and improve profitability.
