Our Approach to Institutional Projects
Our multifaceted engineering strategies help provide risk management, tailored solutions and successful project outcomes that prioritize structural integrity, sustainability and long-term value for the institution and the community. The primary foundations of our consulting services are:
- Planning: The due diligence and planning phases encompass site assessments and feasibility studies to facilitate informed decision-making and risk mitigation before construction. These phases establish the groundwork for a successful project by identifying potential challenges and setting clear objectives to guide the design and construction processes.
- Design: The design phase involves creating detailed plans, layouts and specifications to translate project requirements into actionable blueprints for construction. This phase is a crucial part of engineering. It sets the foundation for the project execution by verifying that the structural, functional and aesthetic aspects align with regulatory standards and the needs of the client.
- Construction: Engineering services during construction involve overseeing implementation, quality control and project coordination to support efficient design execution. These services help maintain project timelines, adherence to budgets and compliance with local building codes.
- Operations and maintenance: Engineering services during the operation and maintenance phases include monitoring performance, conducting evaluations and implementing strategies to achieve the long-term functionality and sustainability of the constructed facility. They help establish operational efficiency, extend the life span of the infrastructure and limit disruptions.
