CONCEPT / SCHEMATIC DESIGN
PURPOSE

Design Development

Obtain all permits from required agencies so that costs can be finalized. Schedule the entire project, start to finish. A key opportunity to finally consider the financial viability of the project prior to committing significant expenditures in the construction phase. Reduce senseless delays by directly procuring long lead items and storing them until needed at the site. Competitively bid all trade work for the project. Close loopholes during the bidding phase to reduce/eliminate future change orders. Go over the pre-construction services contract.
