12 | <br /> <br />DESIGN DEVELOPMENT <br />At this stage, the team identifies the major project components and systems. This will include those that <br />have a direct impact on LEED certification if applicable; should the City desire to pursue and formally <br />request LEED certification. We work collaboratively and with comparative studies, present design <br />alternatives in 2D and 3D for the client’s evaluation. We conduct several presentation meetings and final <br />submittal review meeting with the City. <br />CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS <br />Once approved by the City, we proceed with the preparation of construction documents and <br />specifications. Normally this phase is broken in 60% and 100% Submittals, although per client’s request <br />it can also be broken-down further.At each one of the milestones, we submit complete sets of plans and <br />specifications and conduct a review meeting with the City’s project team and other project stakeholders, <br />to convey and explain the project detail. Any comments resulting from this and other review sessions are <br />incorporated immediately into the final work product for construction. A key element to this phase is to <br />achieve a thorough coordination between all the disciplines. BEA performs regular coordination meetings <br />with the engineers and requires follow-up meetings to ensure that the revisions have been incorporated. <br />We have justifiable confidence in our approach to work. Over two decades of high-profile planning, <br />architecture, interior design, and project and construction management experience have culminated in a <br />portfolio of satisfied clients, which include municipalities, transportation, port, maritime and seaport <br />entities, corporate, high-end residential, hospitality, food & beverage, educational, religious and retail <br />organizations.We are keen to contribute to the smooth maintenance of City operations and of its critical <br />facilities. <br />SOFTWARE EXPERTISE <br />BEA uses 3D animation software and BIM (Building Information Management) technology to aid the <br />client, the design and construction team design successful and meaningful spaces that are fully <br />coordinated across all disciplines.Animation provides a visualization of the concept and allows the client <br />to encounter, visualize and “walk-through” a 3-dimensional image of the building in real time. The BIM <br />technical process focuses of the integration and coordination of all design disciplines in real time;
