Preconstruction & Project Management

---

Designed Structural Solutions drives every project with detailed project planning and execution. 

Preconstruction Consulting

Each project is unique with its own challenges and keys to success. The minute we’re engaged by a client to propose a solution to “support” their project, our collaborative process begins. It starts with project consultation, not just to define the project scope of work but to understand the full expectations of the client and their customer and identify the unique challenges and keys to success.

• What issues have you experienced in the past that have affected your projects? 
• What concerns or challenges do you foresee in your project? 
• What are the most common problems you see with other suppliers?
• What are the project goals? 
• What are the expectations of your customer for a successful project?

This assessment establishes the path to preventing issues encountered in the past, accounting for known challenges or obstacles, and planning to exceed the goals of the project and the expectations of the customer.

Every proposal is derived from a preliminary 3D model of the structure created from the client’s initial system layout and project requirements. This allows us to optimize the structure to find the best solution for the unique design. Material types, depth and weight of members, connection design, and erect ability are all considered to propose the optimum product. The 3D model, including preliminary engineering analysis, is shared with the proposal presentation.  

Project Management

As the project moves from preconstruction and bidding to procurement and project management the structure is nearly complete and ready for fabrication. The modeling and design work is immediately ready for final client coordination. As the system or equipment design is finalized with our client, the design model is adjusted in real-time. 

Your customer wants to add a section of conveyor, additional egress, or new equipment specs with additional load? No problem for Designed Structural Solutions, we’ll incorporate the changes into the model real-time as you watch during a screen share. This integrated approach enables us to manage changes effectively and provide fast response times to our clients. When your system design is complete our structural solution is ready to fabricate. 

Our integrated and holistic approach to every project from an assessment of the overarching needs and goals of the project through detailed real-time collaboration with our clients' yields;

• Detailed project scopes with the overall success of our clients in mind
• Seamless coordination with system design 
• Detailed, trackable change management
• Reduced design duration
• Expedited project schedules
