Major institutional buildings like hospitals are incredibly complex.  fOur experience tells us that the most important work happens before the shovels hit the dirt.  The greatest opportunities to improve functionality and reduce costs happen early on in the life of a project.  Unlike most trade contractors, want to add our expertise to the design teamThat’s why we partner early on with design teams and work through the many iterations of the design

• Enhanced Collaboration: Design Assist fosters collaboration between designers, contractors, and subcontractors right from the project’s inception, ensuring smoother workflows and reducing conflicts down the line.
• Early Problem Identification: By involving subcontractors in the design phase, potential issues can be identified and addressed early, saving time and money during construction.
• Value Engineering Opportunities: Subcontractors can provide valuable input on materials and construction methods during the design phase, leading to cost savings and optimized solutions without compromising quality.
• Streamlined Construction Process: With subcontractors onboard during design, there’s better alignment between design intent and construction feasibility, leading to a more efficient construction process.
• Reduced Change Orders: Integrating subcontractor input early on helps minimize design changes during construction, reducing the need for costly change orders and potential delays.
• Quality Assurance: Design Assist ensures that the final design meets the desired quality standards and performance requirements, as subcontractors provide their expertise and insights during the design phase.
• Risk Mitigation: By involving subcontractors early in the process, risks associated with constructability issues, material availability, and scheduling conflicts can be identified and mitigated proactively.
• Innovation and Creativity: Collaborating with subcontractors during the design phase can spark innovative solutions and creative approaches to design challenges, leading to more unique and efficient project outcomes.
• Client Satisfaction: Ultimately, Design Assist can lead to higher client satisfaction by delivering projects that meet or exceed expectations in terms of quality, schedule, and budget.
