Services

Design

We offer the following Design Services:

• Site Master Planning
• Building Design
• Building Programming - the “whole building design” approach is used to create a successful high-performance building. This begins with involvement of all interested parties in the definition of the scopes of work prior to the design effort and places emphasis on gathering and analyzing data early in the process so that the design is based upon sound decisions. The owner, building occupants, and operation and maintenance personnel are involved to contribute their understanding of how the building and its systems will work for them once they occupy it. The fundamental concept of building programming is to understand that all building systems are interdependent.
• Design Development - services in which the design moves from the schematic phase to the contract document phase. In this phase we >prepare construction drawings and other presentation documents to crystallize the design concept and describe it in terms of architectural, electrical, mechanical and structural systems. In addition , we also prepare a statement of the probable project cost.
• Interior Design Services - these services include designing of interior layouts and selection of interior finishes.

We work with subcontractors and suppliers on a regional level to ensure high levels of supply chain management.

Design-Build

Advantages of this method of project delivery include an earlier commitment to cost and a shortened delivery schedule. With CM-GC as your single point of responsibility, we overlap the project’s design and construction phases. In the design phase, previous value analysis/value engineering lessons are shared, and design and constructability reviews are conducted to identify issues and mitigate risk. We use a creative, collaborative team solution, working with the architects, engineers and contractors to deliver innovative, cost-efficient projects on time. A client may decide to use this method based on a "fast track" usage of a facility.
