A detailed assessment of existing conditions, including drawings, permitted use, failure mechanisms, and remedial options, allows for clients to choose the building restoration and renewal program that best suits their objectives.

Design documents with comprehensive specifications and detailed drawings are prepared to describe the project scope, materials, and procedures. These documents are created based on information collected during the assessment and feasibility phase and with the Owner’s agreement on the restoration and renewal approach and budget. Design and specification documents not only communicate the scope of work to the contractor but do so in a way that promotes refined pricing. An effective, collaborative planning and design process increases the potential for success during construction through improved workmanship, fewer changes and disruptions to building occupants, a shorter construction schedule, and a final cost within budget.

A fair and competitive tender process is followed. We offer tenders to pre-qualified contractors who have known skills for the required work. During the tender process, we respond to queries, prepare addenda, and walk the work area with the bidders. On closing of tenders, we prepare a written summary and analysis of the bids received.

Once a contractor is selected, our team periodically visits the site to confirm that the work is being completed in accordance with the project specifications and provides contract administration from start to completion.
