PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Extra Benefits
In today’s environment, we understand the importance of improving project schedules, reducing cost and reducing waste. At Alterman, we strive for the most productive and cost-efficient installations. We have implemented LEAN design for pre-fabrication and installation processes, benefiting our customers and maintaining the highest level of quality. This LEAN process begins in the early stages of construction and continues though completion of the project.
DESIGN SERVICES - BIM / CAD
Our innovative design techniques utilizing the LEAN construction process help us to stay on the leading edge of the electrical construction industry.
3D modeling is sweeping the industry. This technology now allows each trade to provide a model with intended paths and equipment to run through a clash detection process. This process then works out areas of conflict before construction begins saving time and money. BIM modeling takes this to a whole new level. In the world of Building Information Modeling we can plug in information relating to our electrical equipment to be stored in the final model for later use by the owner.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Alterman’s design-assist and cost / value assessment services distinguish us from our competitors. Early participation facilitates a fast-track schedule and allows construction to get underway before completion of design documents. By evaluating the Owner’s unique requirements, Alterman can recommend cost-effective, quality-enhancing solutions and alternatives that will extend life-cycle usage and lower operating costs. Our experience, historical data, and accurate, up-to-date pricing result in the development of prompt and realistic budgets from conceptual design. Our approach to estimating becomes more thorough and detailed as the design process moves forward. When preparing a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) estimate, Alterman establishes a complete and comprehensive estimate based on partial construction documents and our list of design assumptions and qualifications. As the work progresses, we implement meticulous cost controls to complete the project on time and in budget.
Involving Alterman in the pre-construction stage of your project, assures you of obtaining a superior electrical system that exceeds quality expectations while remaining in budget.
