Intentional Design Is Our ID
Tolleson West Point High School
Intentional design is our process of beginning projects with the results in mind. After extensive internal dialogue and research with clients, we have evolved our approach to design by assisting with identification of the unknowns, understanding, and addressing the issues early on.
Specifically, we:
Operate as a single point of contact for DIV 22 through DIV 28 to simplify communication.
Orchestrate and design the MEP systems, architectural lighting, low voltage, security, AV, IT, and controls.
Provide expertise in current technology and lighting operation.
Shorten construction time and optimize budgets through our expertise in technology.
Provide an SD+ design package to enhance early pricing and identify long lead items.
We have participated in many scenarios where vendor-based designs or sub consultants were engaged late in design or even after CD’s have been completed. This approach typically causes re-work and inefficiencies. To alleviate this, we have fine-tuned our internal staffing to provide specification-based designs for MEP, AV, IT, Security, etc. as a part of our construction document package. This ensures that the contractor can better understand expectations as well as gain tighter pricing and accurate competitive bids.

We have listened to our Clients that want earlier costing information, enhanced schematic design packages, and our expertise in discovering opportunities to be efficient with time, money, and resources. For this we have developed our SD+ package, which gives us the opportunity to identify a larger scope in the initial project phases which allows more accurate pricing and contractor coordination early in the design process.
We want to continue to be a resource for our repeat clients and for those who haven’t met us yet, we look forward to the chance to prove it to you.
