Planning and Development

Capital Planning for Municipal Infrastructure
We assist municipalities in developing comprehensive capital plans that prioritize infrastructure projects based on current and future needs. Our expertise ensures that your infrastructure investments are strategic, sustainable, and align with both community growth and long-term objectives.

Defining Client Needs and Feasibility Studies
We work closely with our clients to clearly define project goals and requirements, conducting detailed feasibility studies to assess the practicality and viability of proposed developments. This process helps identify potential challenges early on and ensures that the project scope is realistic and achievable within your timeline and budget.

Developing a Program for Design and Functional Plans
Our team develops tailored design programs and functional plans to guide the project from concept to completion. This ensures that all elements of the project are aligned with the client’s vision and operational needs, providing a clear roadmap for both the design and execution phases.

Preparation of Budgets
We prepare detailed, accurate budgets for infrastructure projects, taking into account all aspects of development, from initial design through to final construction. Our focus on cost management ensures that your project stays within financial limits while meeting all necessary standards and specifications.

Project Management

Complete Program Review for Design Development
We conduct a thorough program review during the design development phase, ensuring that all project requirements are addressed, and that the design aligns with the client’s vision, functional needs, and regulatory standards.

Investigate Site Location
Our team carefully investigates potential site locations, evaluating factors such as topography, accessibility, environmental impact, and zoning regulations. This ensures that the chosen site supports the project’s goals and minimizes potential challenges during construction.

Develop Preliminary Time Schedule for the Work
We create a preliminary project timeline, outlining key milestones and deadlines from design through completion. This schedule provides a clear framework for managing the project efficiently and ensures all stakeholders have a realistic expectation of the work’s duration.

Develop Preliminary Functional Plan, Floor Plan, and Site Plan
Our team develops initial functional, floor, and site plans that outline the spatial and operational aspects of the project. These preliminary plans provide a visual representation of how the project will function, helping to align the client’s vision with the practical aspects of construction.

Obtain Client Approvals
We maintain close communication with our clients throughout the project, ensuring that all design elements, timelines, and budgets are approved at every stage. This collaborative approach helps to avoid delays and ensures the project stays aligned with client expectations.

Develop Estimates and Compare with Budget
We prepare detailed cost estimates for the project and compare them with the allocated budget. This helps to ensure financial feasibility, identify potential cost overruns, and allows for adjustments before moving into the construction phase.

Consider and Recommend Construction Approach
Based on project specifics, site conditions, and budget constraints, we evaluate various construction methods and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective approach. This helps to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget while meeting all quality standards.

Draft Project Brief, Terms & References, and Other Documents
We prepare comprehensive project briefs, Terms & References (T&R), and other necessary documentation to provide a clear scope of work for all parties involved. These documents ensure that everyone is on the same page and help guide the project from inception through to completion.

Prepare Tender or RFP Documents
Our team prepares detailed tender or Request for Proposal (RFP) documents, ensuring that they meet all legal and regulatory requirements. These documents are designed to attract qualified contractors and suppliers, allowing for a competitive bidding process that delivers the best value for the project.

Contract Management

Review Bids and Recommend Acceptance or Refusal
We thoroughly review all bids submitted for a project, assessing each proposal based on price, qualifications, and adherence to project requirements. Our recommendations help clients make informed decisions on whether to accept or reject a bid, ensuring the selection of the best contractor for the job.

Prepare Start-Up Meeting with Successful Contractor After Award of Contract
Once the contract is awarded, we organize a start-up meeting with the successful contractor. This meeting ensures clear communication, sets expectations, and reviews key details such as project timelines, responsibilities, and contractual obligations, helping to ensure a smooth start to the project.

Provide Complete Contract Administration as Required
We offer comprehensive contract administration services, overseeing every aspect of the construction contract to ensure that all parties fulfill their obligations. This includes monitoring project progress, managing communications between the client and contractor, and addressing any issues that arise.

Our services also include conducting Substantial and Final Inspections to confirm that the project meets all contractual and quality standards. Once the project reaches substantial completion, we ensure that any remaining items are addressed before final inspection. Additionally, we manage warranty follow-ups, ensuring that any issues that emerge during the warranty period are promptly resolved. We remain involved until all required work is completed to the client’s satisfaction, providing peace of mind throughout the project lifecycle.
