Design-Build delivery requires consistent collaboration across all disciplines to synchronize owner expectations with design achievability and the realities of construction schedules, constraints, and logistics. Armand serves as a vital advocate for excellence in all regards by unifying each project’s many diverse influences around maximizing owner and user benefits through strong communication and team orchestration.
Design-Build projects take advantage of a single-point-of-accountability approach that umbrellas designers, engineering, and subconsultants under the design-builder’s authority to save time and money in project delivery by streamlining execution. Success in this methodology begins with assessing and assembling the right team and harmonizing owner expectations with design and construction perspectives from the project’s earliest interactions. The design solution and congruent cost and schedule tracking are advanced through owner approvals with deliberate intent. Opportunities to compel beneficial cost and time savings through early bid packages, prefabrication strategies, and tighter control of quality, safety, and logistics are all integrated into design objectives from the onset.
Armand drives design-build success as a prime contractor or key consultant with meaningful expertise in budgeting, estimating, scheduling, quality assurance, safety planning, constructability, site logistics, subcontractor selection, and oversight. Well-established project controls begin with a resolute commitment to process-based, data-driven determinations that balance cost, schedule, quality, and constructability for the good of the whole, which ultimately translates to achievability and benefit maximization. The client’s expectations are met through Armand’s ability to critically control the project’s movement through process management.
From start to finish, Armand earns client confidence by clearly defining project expectations around program, functionality, sustainability, and operational performance and actively leading the project to fruition. Armand earns the team’s respect by closely tying the costs and schedule implications of design determinations on materials and systems with actionable logistics and advantageous sequencing to improve project performance in design-build delivery.
