DESIGN PHASE MANAGEMENT
During design and pre-construction phases of any project, both the design and construction must be considered simultaneously. Our team will assume the responsibility to ensure that both aspects develop in unison. We will work collaboratively with the team to manage design milestones that facilitate a timely construction phase delivery, acting as the conduit from the project stakeholders to the design and construction team.
