Guiding Value Engineering Collaboration
When initial designs exceeded the client's target budget, we worked with the architect and the client through close collaboration to realign scope without sacrificing quality or design intent. Our preconstruction and project team analyzed plans in detail, leveraged historical cost data, and identified creative masonry and enclosure solutions for efficient aesthetics and long-term performance. This demonstrated how early, transparent collaboration delivers cost-effective, high-quality outcomes.
