Our Capabilities

Our capabilities for construction design are based on previous Design/Build Projects, Value Engineering cost reduction efforts, and engineered changes which occur throughout the various projects. Our Project Managers consistently use, and are highly proficient with, our in-house Auto Cad programs and several interactive vendor computer design programs. We also consistently collaborate with local Professional Engineers and Architects to prepare sealed civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, architectural drawings and specs for testing, shop drawings, resolution of design discrepancies, code compliance, and other similar tasks during contract performance. We have used these methods on many varied project scopes that were completed ahead of schedule even though some critical time constraints, changes, obstacles and challenges existed.
