Pre-Design

We firmly subscibe to the notion the 80% of control over project success–quality, schedule and cost – happens in the pre-design and design phases. We work hard to minimize decision making after construction has broken ground–after all pricing leverage and efficiencies are lost. This requires a clear plan and a solid team that can implement that plan.

Design

Project success begins with effective communication and a collaborative environment. Developing a structure early on for how information is shared, how decisions are made and defining responsibilities allows the team to focus on primary tasks and expend effort more efficiently. This translates into a better project on all fronts.

Project success continues through managing complex programming requirements and aggressive scheduling while navigating through all phases of design and construction, from early analysis and planning to construction administration and facility maintenance.

Bonewitz has learned to tap into the internal knowledge of each of our client’s organizations to ensure that this information informs project outcomes.
