Design Build
FDC understands the complexity and risk involved in performing “Design- Build” projects. Our process is intensely focused on insuring that we perform the necessary development of the initial design to assure our team that they can complete a job on site with full knowledge of details such as connections to and within the Electrical Closet, any TSS Low voltage connections and placement of HVAC where it intersects with hardened walls. Our design plans provide the necessary features to eliminate or seriously reduce risks that occur using already-designed documents. This meticulous process is designed to keep “Change Orders” to an absolute minimum.
Briefly FDC’s Process is in these carefully managed steps which are interspersed with necessary site visits:
• FDC’s A/E Design Manager reviews initial plans and provides them to Architect Partners to
develop and design and at 35% point presents to client for comment
