Design Assist Construction

our experience - Design Assist

We know from experience that preconstruction is a critical item on the path to a project’s success. During preconstruction, we develop a comprehensive schedule and budget, and then hold all teams accountable to it. Our deliverables include detailed action item matrixes, alternates and value engineering logs, early procurement logs, and preconstruction schedules. By setting a baseline for design teams and owners, we are able to keep stakeholders on task and accountable.

Design-Assist Process:

• Develop a Baseline Budget - Developing an early budget that works for the owner helps the owners and design teams maintain a budget conscious direction.
• Develop the Preconstruction Schedule - By having a team scheduling meeting at the outset of the design process, milestones and important dates are documented and each party maintains schedule accountability.
• Develop Alternate and Value Engineering Logs - We create a "shopping list" for the owner and design teams to discuss and consider.
• Budget Checks - Provide budget checks at each design milestone.
• Engage Subs and Review Constructability - Teaming up industry professionals with engineers, means we are able to head off potential design issues before the design is complete.
• Early Procurement - When budget and schedule allows, we pinpoint potential lead time issues and recommend early submittal review and equipment/material purchasing.
• Build!
