Integrated Delivery Advantage
As both a designer and a builder, we offer a unique advantage over our competitors.
We integrate our comprehensive knowledge of construction with our design expertise, merging intricate to complete projects faster, cheaper, and with less risk. By combining our technology, construction engineering, scheduling, and estimating capabilities, we provide our clients a complete, constructable project with a reliable budget and schedule.
Our Integrated Delivery team of construction industry experts provide added value to our existing clients and new project pursuits in the following areas:
- Cost Estimating, Scheduling, And Claims Support
- Construction Engineering
- Construction Technology, And Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Integrated Delivery is an internal asset for internal and external use that provides class-leading construction resources to augment your teams through preconstruction, bid, and construction phases to ensure your project is constructable, economical, and meets or beats the schedule.
Find The Best Solutions For Any Project
Our heavy civil and systems expertise includes:
- Cable-stay, segmental, arch, suspension, floating, bascule, truss and girder bridges
- Urban roads, highways, and interchanges
- Light and heavy rail systems
- Airport terminals and support infrastructure
- Submerged and TBM tunnels
- Water and wastewater treatment plants
- Levees, dams, and water control structures
Cost Estimating And Scheduling
We draw on decades of construction experience to develop practical approaches to build any project.
- Conceptual Estimates to quickly compare design options
- Contractor-style Estimates of Heavy Civil, Systems, and Track projects using HCSS
- Independent Construction Estimates / Quantity Takeoffs
- Critical Path Schedules & Schedule Monitoring using Primavera P6
- Change Management / Claims Development & Review / Time Impact Analysis
- Capture Management / Design-Build Coordination
- Risk Management
- Mitigate and Defend against Third Party Claim
Our team can develop estimates for key components that are usually outsourced to subcontractors including intelligent transportation systems (ITS); tolling; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP); and transit systems. This gives our clients cost certainty from a contractor’s frame of mind that few other firms can provide.
Our hard dollar construction estimating team has bid over $25B and won $9.5B over the last 10 years.
Construction Engineering
Our seasoned team of construction engineers draw on decades of combined construction experience to develop practical approaches to build any project.
- Constructability and Submittal Reviews
- Construction Means and Methods Development
- Construction Sequencing and Staging
- Temporary Works Concepts/Designs/Reviews
- Shoring and Falsework Concepts/Designs/Reviews
- Critical and Heavy Lift Concepts/Designs/Reviews
Our team of construction engineers collaborates directly with project staff to create innovative, pragmatic, and economical solutions that enhance constructability on our self-perform construction projects and tackle challenges as they arise in the field. We assist your project by detecting constructability problems early in the design phase and offer industry-proven recommendations to improve details, provide superior bids, and minimize potential claims.
Construction Technology And Building Information Modeling (BIM)
We are an industry leader in developing and implementing innovative design and construction technologies. Our user-friendly and software agnostic Paradim® solution is project proven for creating comprehensive virtual representations called digital twins of built assets of various types including:
- Bridges – St. Croix River Crossing
- Airports – O’Hare Automated People Mover
- Roads – Highway 401 Expansion
- Treatment plants – Silicon Valley Clean Water
Paradim® provides near real-time secure data aggregation, processing, and analytics. It offers powerful insights into operations and performance of assets through an intuitive 3D model-based data simulation and visualization interface.
Paradim® was a major differentiator for procurement of multiple projects including Silicon Valley Clean Water and NSF Antarctic Infrastructure Modernization for Science.
Implementing Innovative Technologies
Our technology group provides:
– BIM execution planning and implementation
– BIM standards development
– Augmented intelligence scheduling
– Model authoring and management
– Custom application and dashboard development
– Digital twin development through information integration
– Project data management and mining
– Real-time field data integration
– Sensor/IoT feeds integration
We offer an augmented (artificial) intelligence scheduling tool to automate analysis of millions of scenarios to optimize schedule based on time, cost, and other constraints in hours, not days.
Our drone program offers experienced capability in developing accurate reality models using various sensors (image, thermal, LiDAR, etc.) for asset management, inspections, and progress monitoring.
