River’s Edge is a great example of our ability to provide architecture + construction services as an integral part of due diligence. As any business owner knows, especially one that is contemplating construction of a new building, one of the most important items to consider is the cost of construction. Our ability to provide accurate cost engineering, based on our conceptual planning, is essential for the success of any project. So, how do we do that? Simply stated, we possess the ability to see between the lines and fill in the gaps of missing information. We have the ability to conceptually engineer structural systems, cooling load, lighting design, electrical systems and the numerous other items that are required for a complete understanding of the building. We apply costs to those items based on historical data and subcontractor input. And, most importantly, we own the information and we stand behind it! We do it every single day because we understand what the lines on the paper mean and how buildings are constructed. We understand cost. We understand schedule. We understand details. It's a definitive part of the Art of Construction and we take pride in it. And, what follows is truly unique. We turn the standard process upside down and design a building that stands up to our cost projections. Can you imagine cost engineering that is informed by building design and building design that is informed by cost engineering? We can and we demand it. Not every project requires cost diligence, but when it does, we thrive on it. We love River's Edge and the cost based process that led us to to open the doors for our client and their tenants. We hope you like it too!
