PA+M ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY METHODS The main advantage of the alternative project delivery methods that consist of hybrid variations of the competitive bidding, Construction Management at Risk, Design/Build process are that they offer the client a single contract and single point of accountability for the design and construction of the project. The Design and Construction industry has been around for a long time, and with that there are dependable industry standards. Although Technology and Codes lead to occasional changes, the basic principles stay the same. The most important thing to understand is that getting a project designed and built is a process that takes time. Decisions are not made all at once, but throughout the course of a project. Accordingly, timelines are critical and must be adhered to. •Building codes, design and construction standards. •Industry standards, Codes, and Regulations. •Economic criteria for evaluating design options. •Input from client shareholders engineering and operational staff. UNDERSTANDING PROJECT APPROACH REC understands the Scope of Work and will comply with plans, narratives, guiding principles, design objectives, technical specifications and deliverable schedule for submissions established. The process always develops alternative strategies that we are prepared to confront through a dialogue that focuses on both qualitative and quantitative issues and arrives at a consensus. While we can imagine alternatives, we also understand the detailed analysis and decision-making of the individual work efforts: 1) Evaluating the designated area and its intended use, 2) Performing modeling to design an area available for observation from the general public, 3) Providing Development plans, identifying materials and including cost estimating and 4) Managing the overall project development. Addressing the primary tasks, we would begin by meeting with our clients to confirm their goals and objectives for the assigned projects, then assess the condition of the existing area, and with the body of knowledge presented in previous documents, we will proceed to propose recommendations to the tasked items. The project leadership that Chisholm Architects provides, based on past projects, is pertinent in the provision of services such as time schedules, attention to detail, schematic design, design development and complete specifications, dry-run permitting/regulatory review, oversight of the construction bidding process, construction administration, adherence to building codes, reporting to the project manager, and managing the budget status and time at every phase of the work. Service to, and communication with, the Client is the most important aspect of the process. The Design team works together with the Client from the beginning of the project to provide comprehensive design solutions with the direct involvement of all disciplines throughout the design process.
