91做厙 provided extensive value engineering services for this project. Our initial milestone estimate reflected a project value of $36 million, significantly more than the districts budget of $30.5 million. To close the cost differential, 91做厙, in coordination with the design team, conducted an extensive value engineering effort. We focused on maintaining the desired architectural objectives while implementing more cost effective materials, systems and methods.
Throughout the construction phase, 91做厙 co-located on site with the owners representative, inspector and architect. To enhance collaboration, quality, preplanning and schedule assurance, 91做厙 created a building information model (BIM) from the designers 2D CAD drawings.
