Value Engineering
At James & Associates, we take a systematic approach to determine how to create the most efficient building for the least cost. With the help of value engineering, we provide an extensive analysis of project costs, goals and operational objectives. This process allows us to eliminate any unnecessary costs and develop a plan that exceeds expectations.
Precise Scheduling
Completing a project on time and on budget does not happen by chance. It takes carefully planning throughout the construction process. We use a computerized project management system to identify design and specification requirements, long-lead procurement items and key milestones. This allows us to determine points when critical decisions need to be made and strengthen communication and collaboration among design, construction and client teams to provide the best end-product.
Scope Estimating
What will it really cost to complete this project? At James & Associates, we go beyond providing a price tag for your project. Using schematic designs and a general outline of specifications as a guide, we develop a detailed breakdown of the costs of each of the individual component to provide you with a clear picture before committing any resources to the project. This valuable tool helps you make better decisions on material selection and upgrades.
Bid Procurement
Our clients leverage our extensive bidding experience to recruit the best team for the dollar. J&A team has extensive experience bidding and negotiating project costs to provide our clients added value. With our knowledge of the market and insights on the industry, we can effectively assess the bids we receive from trade contractors and material suppliers to provide you the most favorable package for your project.
