THE ARCHITECT'S ANGLE

June 2012 

Greetings!

This month we are taking a look at some topics that can help you bring your projects in on time and within budget.  We hope you view these and our monthly E-letter as another tool in your professional tool box.  Please give us your feedback.
Value Engineering
"It's Never Too Early"

Given the state of the economy, value engineering (VE) the cost of a construction project is more important than ever. My experience as an architect has taught me that it is possible to substantially VE a project "up front" in lieu of waiting for actual bids to be submitted. This is especially true for alterations of existing buildings.

 

When it comes to value engineering a project, the earlier you do it the better.  See Full Article

 

Managing the Construction Phase
Photo C for June 2012 Newsletter 

The seeds of a successful construction phase must be sewn at the earliest stages of a project. It starts with an owner bringing the right professional team to the table.  An experienced architect/engineer team can help an owner establish a basic framework while a project is still in the embryonic stage.  
We are constantly helping our clients upgrade the energy efficiency and look of their buildings. Let us help your physical plant look and operate better.
 
Sincerely,
 

John Baumgarten

We can 

help

 
If you have recently been surveyed by the Deparment of Health and have been cited with a physical plant K-tag, we can help you with your plan of correction. In older facilities, we can implement a Health Department approved Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) and allow you to "grandfather" some original conditions that are expensive or in some cases logistically impossible to correct.

FSES is a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) published system and allows a facility to take advantage of alternative methods of life safety outlined in NFPA 101A.
