THE DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS
At W.E. Bowers, we approach every design-build project
as a collaborative team effort. The process begins with
extensive project research, including multiple interviews
with the building engineer and/or facility manager,
and a thorough job site inspection. The result of this
initial research phase is a clear understanding of the
project, including a detailed outline of the client's
goals and objectives.
The research phase also helps Bowers determine whether
or not the project is complex enough to warrant additional
design resources, can be designed by our in-house CADD
engineers, or simply requires one of our proven prototype
designs to meet the client's needs. Once this has been
determined and the design is underway, the project becomes
the ultimate responsibility of the service department's
construction professionals.
Bowers welcomes one-of-a-kind, fast-track project
challenges, involving the following specialized facilities,
systems, and equipment:
