QUALITY CONTROL
Intertech is quality oriented. We work with checklists and standards to verify each project is reviewed for content and coordination. Revisions in the work are cross-coordinated and incorporated into the design and documentation.
Pre-design conferences are held with the clients and regulatory agencies like Zoning, Flood District, Water and Sewer to verify basic requirements.
Building Code checks are completed at the end of the design phase and the construction documents phase to verify building design perimeters.
At each phase the comments are analyzed and revisions are made to keep the project moving forward on budget.
BUDGET AND PROJECT COST
A key element for a successful design is the ability to be completed within the owner’s budgets. The design team at Intertech has a record of being within five percent of the owner’s budgeted numbers, hitting the desired goal frequently.
There are a number of tools we use to present the owner with options to meet their budget. The options include design and bidding alternatives to incorporate into their project. The preliminary or schematic costs are estimated based on scope of work and preliminary design studies, which also include systems costs and square footage costs. Value engineering, cost savings, cost reduction, and energy conservation are integral to the design process. Projected costs are closely tracked at all levels of design and documentation, and the client/owner’s budgets are confirmed during the design phase and reconfirmed during the construction document development.
The next level of costs is developed from a more detailed design and documentation. The detail is developed from the components of the design and from industry costs for the respective installations. The projected costs developed by the design team at Intertech provide clients the ability to assess the viability of their projects.
Cost information helps the respective players on a given project to make informed decisions concerning design compliance, affordability, and viability. Through this process issues of concern are easily identified for discussion.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
Project schedules are important to us at Intertech. We strive to organize project tasks in a succinct way in order to achieve the best result within the shortest time frame. Milestone dates and decision deadlines are important factors in keeping projects moving forward. We use a personal approach when expediting projects through the regulatory approval process. When client schedules change, we will communicate with responsible individuals and revise the schedule on an as-needed basis.
