The Value
Architects, Owners and Contractors are always looking for opportunities to lower project costs and Value Engineering strives to work with all team members to facilitate this while maintaining project quality. We stay focused on your project with low financial overhead and pass those savings on to you. This helps meet schedules at a more affordable engineering cost. Our approach showcases how we do this.
Our Design Approach
The Design Set Up
Schematic Design
The first stage of our approach is where we get to know the project and make sure everyone is on the same page. We work closely with the architect to make sure we are following their vision for the building. After that, a site visit investigation is performed and then we can discuss the project requirements with you. We get to know what is important to you for the final product.
The Engineering
Design Development
This is when we get to work. We put together the engineered construction document drawings so the contractors know what you are looking for in a final building. During this stage we review codes and system design to ensure you get a safe, beautiful, comfortable, and efficient facility.
The Build
Construction Administration
Now we stick with you and work with the contractor to complete the building. Our experience will help you navigate the construction phase. We answer RFIs and questions regarding the construction techniques used. We review submittals to ensure the equipment provided meets your initial building goals. And finally, we make sure your building is built just the way you want.
HVAC Design and Engineering
Experienced in almost every area of HVAC design. We can tailor our services to meet your requirements. Our area of expertise is in the value engineering process where we can provide design and construction savings without sacrificing project quality.
Plumbing Design and Engineering
