AT-RISK CONSTRUCTION & CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

We rely on practical solutions to guide us through the design and specification processes. Already having robust GIS systems in place for asset management tasks provides us with an efficient and effective platform. Our use of the GIS platform , in combination with traditional CAD details and typical sections, creates substantial cost efficiencies compared with traditional methods that use Topographic Survey and CAD-based engineering  drawings for everything in the PS&E.

​

Being thorough while remaining flexible during project design typically resonates with repair contractors. Repair contractors appreciate the simplicity and constructability of our solutions. Our typical repair plan package presents the proposed work in a way that is easy to bid and easy to navigate in the field. Simple bid packages that rely on common methods, local materials, fair payment methods for actual quantities of materials installed, and specifications that consider the economy of scale  for each pay item, all result packages that contractors want to bid and win. The contractor’s increased willingness to bid as well as their intent to win the work will result in a more competitive bid landscape that fosters relationships and fair prices for quality work.

​

Practical specification writing for a project requires not only the technical knowledge of material performance, but also experience to recognize constructability, availably, and cost of the materials required to get the job done. Our engineers design based on the materials that are available locally and the repair methods that local contractors are known to do well.
