What we do is grounded in a
construction and development background. We
know you need budget conscious, buildable designs
that deliver landmark “Wow!”
The real property industry has changed over the last
two decades. Today’s advent of burdensome
entitlement processes, building codes, fire codes,
accessibility codes and a number of other hurdles
now disqualify otherwise qualified professionals.
To execute a successful project today requires the
outlook of a political advocate, dedicated
architects and builders, and command of a
continuously changing technical knowledge base.
Much the same thing has occurred in the real
property industry over the last two decades.Where a good “contractor”
and a good “designer” could produce an acceptable
product 20 years ago, today’s advent of burdensome
entitlement processes, building codes, fire codes,
accessibility codes and a number of other hurdles
now disqualify otherwise qualified “old school”
players.
The current wave of new technology is
already on the rise with the recent coming of Building Information Modeling,
the democratization of 3D via Sketchup, and new
programs that integrate with similar technology to
monitor code compliance and extract constructability
cost and time data.Construction Science has
truly become a science.With proper programming, a
centrally controlled “Building information model” is
now imbedded with product specification, cost,
quantities, availability.It is worked on
simultaneously by all design disciplines, and is the
core reference to the construction field.
With these changes,, the notions of
traditional project delivery are changing as well to
the benefit of the Owner.Design – bid – build is on
it’s way out due to the tradition of cost over-runs
and delivery speed.Design – Build and Design–
Led construction are dominant on the horizon.HADC embraces the technology
that now enables very small teams to accurately
produce an execute work that previously required
five times the manpower.
HADC is positioned to provide facility
solutions by way of a number of flexible delivery
options.
In many cases, HADC has become involved in physical delivery of the project by way of various means of Design/Build, Construction Advisor, Construction Field Management, and Construction Project Management and “buy-out” services.
We understand that it is not how much money that is thrown at a project that creates a winning project, but the design and material use combined with a well communicated set of requirements.
